Well, I'm game. Not this winter though, but in the spring when temperatures start rising.

The nice part about the Ninja is that the tank is EXACTLY (within 0.05 gallons) 4 gallons when it sputters out and you have to switch the petcock to reserve. Also, high-compression! 12.5:1

A thought occurs, however. I've heard that diesel is 7lbs/gal, while gas is 6lbs/gal. Would the 2 differently weighted liquids stay mixed for any duration in a gravity-feeding tank? I figure in a looped FI system, the fuel pump will mix the two while it pumps, but I don't have that benefit in the Ninja. Thoughts on this?
