Boston because you're gonna ad some headers I'm guessing that your truck don't have a turbo. I have turbos in my trucks that currently run wmo. The added compressed air helps the wmo burn more complete which means less smoke.
Here is my take on additives. Any petroleum based additive can be usefull since it'll burn. Xylene(goof off) is a favorite of mine in gasoline racing vehicles that have a catalytic convertor installed. I also use it as a fuel injector cleaner additive. Tolulene isn't so great for convertors though. I've used regular household oil based paint thinners as a lead subsitute since that and stp lead replacement both are mineral spirits. Alcohols can be used but present their own issues. Household isopropyl already contains water so it doesn't burn well. Alcohol does absorb water but I question how well it'll mix with a wmo solution instead of diesel. This is because I used to mix nitro racing fuel in gas but had to use some cotton towels or t-shirts to separate the left over jelly.
Gas isn't considered the best fuel diluter by many. It offers no lubricity, detonates at lower a combustion pressure, and burns hotter/ faster. I think it was oldbull that posted a few months back that gas hurts your cetane rating and power produced by diesel fuel. That may be true but if you're already throwing wmo in your tank then it's to save money. I have some people that give me old gas from stored vehicles and last season's 2-stroke mix. Oldbull also said that diesel should be used as a mix thinner which sounds like an excellent idea in the summer. Current pump diesel is thinner than 25 years ago but my question is how does it's thickness compare to rug? Rug costs less than diesel usually by about 30 cents. In my area it's 30-50 cents diff. I keep my mix down to about 12% rug, so it's no more than 15% for calculation variations.
Anyone who runs any sort of blend in their diesel vehicle should have a pyrometer installed. Almost nobody wants to blow their engine by experimenting,(friendly ribbing not trying to insult anyone).
Don't really hear much about people running b100 during freezing winter climates unless they have a tank heating system. If I get things ontrack again soon I hope to modify my old mercedes to run wvo year 'round, The winters do get below freezing in Reno so I could have some issues.
