The CDI didn't like the dry-washed fuel when I began dry washing in 2011 or so. I went back to water wash and all is well. I run 100% BD through the warm months, and blend about 20% pump diesel in cold winter to keep the BD from gelling.

There's a 10% hit to fuel economy with BD as compared to pump diesel.

I put a Bully Dog chip in to boost fuel rail pressure ('cause the 200 factory horses weren't quite enough!!!!).

Compared to the NA 606 that I had, the 648 motor is absolutely awesome.
