Are we going to give you some flack..?? Of course..
Uncontrolled fuel in the intake is probably not a good idea....These diesels don't have a throttle plate like a petrol engine, they get full air all the time. To control the power, all we do is change the amount of "controlled" fuel via the injectors. Adding uncontrolled fuel on top of this can only end in tears.....a run-away is all too easy doing this sort of thing....A blown turbo seal does a similar thing...most of the time it doesn't end well either. Google diesel runaway and you'll see what can happen...
However, it's your engine and your fuel....do with it as you please..
