You could get a nice blue flame come out both stacks.Detroit actualy said to burn #1 diesel.Nj Transit use to use only # 1 fuel. I delivered enough of Diesel and Gasoline to fill a Stadium.

X2 On #1 and Detroit. My old 318 would smoke the tires empty and if I got into it too hard loaded it would spin the rims.  Tried #1 in my '94 Cummins once and it warmed up much quicker in the morning but the cost wasn't worth the comfort.
