Not trying to be rude, but it will also aid in the deterioration of various seals and gaskets in the fuel system, (i.e carburator, fuel injectors, fuel rails, intake, etc.) if you make a habit of this. E-85 vehicles have the upgraded seals and gaskets necessary to run an alcohol based fuel, most other petroleum products rely on the fuel itself to keep those elements lubricated... alcohol dries out those petroleum based seals.
Hey Badger, any thoughts on a Cummings diesel that spends a lot of time sitting and is puffing blue smoke st 111k miles? Is it time for me to get new injectors?

Didn't you say you have a garage? If so, it would be better for me to come visit you. For now, it's a 2001, 2500 Dodge, I think that its 24 valve, certainly on cold start, but also some during driving.
Your response on this thread to the suggested fix and others you have posted make it very clear to me that you are someone whose advice I trust because it is based on fundamentals. By that I mean a fundamental understanding of the processes and resultant conditions.
My knowledge is dominantly gas/performance and hot rod.... or Harley Davidson lol . But a buddy I work with is a master diesel tech. At the moment your's sounds like a possible injection pump having issues but checking it out first hand and putting a scanner on it would probably be advised. I'll send you a PM.
