Happy thanksgiving everyone!

Sixto:
I actually noticed this shake long before I did the oil and trans fluid save when we ran out of fuel on the road. Now I know to fill up when I see a quarter tank! It's the first time I ran that low on fuel and this car is still pretty fresh to us. First long road trip for sure.

But when I had the IP timed at the dealership I had a 50/50 blend of heated and filtered WVO/Diesel.

Could that have an effect? My thought there is that maybe it was timed for a more viscous fuel since I had the half and half blend. I'd bet the pop pressure is the same but the time it takes for the oil to pop the injectors is a little slower.
