I would suggest experimenting with this oil before trying it in the engine. First, mix the stuff 50-50 with D2 in a clear container. Are the two fluids miscible (do they mix together and stay mixed)? Let the mixture sit for a day. Does it stay mixed or does it settle out into layers?

If the mixture behaves, then try the 50-50 mix in a container connected directly to the fuel pump (like doing a diesel purge). If the engine seems happy then move on to putting it in the fuel tank. As always, keep an eye on the fuel filters.
