I've got to dissagree Dave.
The pumps his 86 have will push nearly anything fluid enough to get through the single hole hole injectors.
The VE engines (1999-2003) are very flexible as well, but the 4 hole injectors don't like crankcase squeezings and SVO too much.
The pump duse needs very clean fuel due to the close tolerances in the injectors but can run #1 or #2 or b80 with no issue. As you stated, lubricity comes from the engine oil.

The common-rails............. lack of lubricity, even a single gasoline "oops" can cause a catastrophic high pressure fuel pump failure. Look up HPFPF especially on tdiclub.com.
