My on-board tanks have store-bought'n diesel that keeps me (somewhat) legit. However, I have to open the hood to switch between them at this point. I have an electric valve I'll be installing to get over that handicap (uhh, does having THAT handicap mean I could qualify for one of those blue hanger-on-the-mirror tags "CLAIMING" that I'm handicapped ? Actually, I'd rather park further out in the lot and hooof it. I climb stairs instead of using elevators, too)
The only tell-tale is the fuel line coming out of the aux tank. And they don't normally dip tanks here in Ohio so I'm not all that worried about that.

I do plan to set up a controlled test so I can check mileage and percentages, looking for that sweet spot. It will involve having a gallon tank that I can mix various percentages, check EGTs and mileage.
