For your use, you'd be better off with W85 in a chipped powerstroke, and following the 100+ mods list.
Ash mainly.

i agree a turbine would be able to digest all the fuels i want to run, in any combination aswell, if the fuel pump and delivery were set up right. i dont know if im ready to commit to a turbine powered vehicle though..
and yes a waste oil powered diesel is a proven way to get what im after.
the ash part im not sure about, usually with waste oil heaters a full blown flame will give ash build up on the flue which is relatively harmless non sticky thin layered chaulky stuff, but from what ive seen with my buddy who has a waste oil heater if you dont have the nozzle the right size for pretty close to correct lean mixture you get a sort of build up thats thicker, and black it reminded me more of the inside of valve covers on an old motor. i think based on the fact im mixing the air and fuel with a quadrajet i think it will be too rich and definitely not hot enough for the white chaulky ash to form. hopefully i wont be dealing with enough buildup to make this impractical but i wont know till i try. according to marcello he says he doesnt get a lot of buildup that gums up the heat exchanger, but im not sure how much he uses his generator, alot of what happens will depend on usage and mixture/temperature.
i will have some sight ports to see whats going on in there. ive got a few back up ideas for the way i end up heating the air and fuel, but my first step is to get my quadrajet working flawlessly for this particular engine. after that i can try a few various ways of heating air and fuel.
i just got to keep goin
