Pretty much sums up what is known, the oil is thicker than Diesel so needs manly pumps and injectors, it has a longer burn time so adjusting the pump timing is useful and it's got slightly less energy in - so expect a 10% or so power loss running it.

I always added cetane booster and 2-stroke oil into my mix, ran like a champ.
