Tobin,

Don't worry- be happy.  Judging from the Seattle test the diesel test is
quite generous and weighted for year of mfg..  Since they are set correctly,
leave all your settings alone and just run it on Biodiesel.  If you don't
know where to get it do an internet search, there probably is a co-op on the
mainland there somewhere.

When my Westy was set up like yours it passed even though it spewed clouds
of smoke on uphill pulls.
