yup totally is , I keep forgetting that IDI cars and mechanical fuel pumps (ususally before 1995) is now very old tech

I would say the most problematic with blending in modern diesels is the direct injection, injectors, common rail and electric fuel pumps (all the stuff modern)...

while modern gas cars are great for blendning, with the modern electronic adjusting for the more fuel needed automatically, carburettors are way more difficult in that regard
