lol it does have some merits actually,
I know of a guy who has only run his Omega td on used hydraulic oil that he mixes with parafin to get the same drop rate as diesel, and so far he has done 83k on it with the only difficulty being it takes 3 goes of glow plugs to get it to fre on a cold winters morning ;D but he gets the hydro oil free so he isnt to bothered!!
in point of fact kerosene would be better but its virtually the same stuff ,
small quantity of lpg also allows the fuel efficiency to rocket cleaner better burn and more power and economy!! :y

Personally, I'd be concerned about the lubricity implications, though it doesn't seem to have caused any problems for the injection equipment. So far, that is!
Lubricity - what d'ya think?
