Thanks for the info on the heated diesel. I wouldn't have even considered that, but it makes sense. I'll have to check out my plumbing to see if I can just block those heat hoses for the time being. I don't really want to completely remove the system, because I might make it a 2 tank at some point, but perhaps a valve to shut off the heat.

If I were in your shoes, I would completely remove the kit and drive the car for 5000 miles on petrodiesel before making any decisions. Test the compression. Test the injectors. Does it start in the cold? Burn oil? All that stuff needs to be figured out.

During that time, drink from the firehose about 2-tank kits. Most of the parts of the Lovecraft kit are not going to be used in a proper 2 tank setup.
