The first time I dumped some old (but unused) cooking oil in my tank I thought the engine died when I was idling through a parking lot it was so quiet.

It runs better off of diesel purge because of the higher levels of cetane than fuel. It's a more complete combustion and can mask bad injectors, or other related issues to fuel. It's great for diagnosing fuel issues. I'm not sure why oil combats better and makes the engine quieter. I'd assume lubricity properties.

@ the OP. Why did You remove the injector lines and not crack them just a quarter turn? Also, your next step should be to do the valve adjustment with feeler gauges.
