Okay, I think I should place a HE right before the IP and see what happens. I will also add 1 litre of veg oil to the diesel but I use biodiesel all the time. I guess it won't hurt adding some oil anyway.

The valve has one inlet open when not wired. You can simply use it for the diesel at least if anything goes wrong in the wiring the valve will go change back to diesel. Do you guys agree?
