Though I'd try running gas...
Well, with diesel prices hitting 1.50$/ a liter, and gas only 1.34$, I thought I'd try running gasoline in my 7.3.
I'll have more info tomorrow, but I took her for a rip tonight, and she ran a little rough, but had plenty of power.
I did notice that I had trouble hitting over 15 lbs of boost though,...
What kind of fuel lubrication should I add to make sure the truck lasts just as long?

In the winter I use to add 1 gallon of gas to my reefer tank (40 gallons) and it ran just fine...but I call you parkland on this. You mistakenly pumped some gas into your truck, right?

I don't know......... my employee who accidentally put gas (well E-85) in our 04 F-450 said it ran like azz and was smoking.
I wasn't too happy, luckily he shut it down right away once it started getting that E-85 in the injectors.

He said "gasoline" in his post, I thought he meant hydrogen gas untill I reread it again.
It looks like he will be getting the 466 in there sooner than he thinks if hes for real about this.
