Yes to above question. Front most relay, has a "540" in the part number usually.

Veggie is thicker viscosity than D2 and can cause problems with lift pumps and shutoff valves (SOV). Additionally all the extra plumbing involved adds another layer of complexity in figuring out what is wrong. IMO veg should be heated to +160f before being injected; usually requires a two tank system.

The "dies, as if key were turned off" is usually the K40; sometimes the SOV. With your veg you should also be certain you arent getting a massive amount of air entering when fuel demand is high, as that could kill the engine too, although would prob stumble and stutter a bit before dieing.
