Slight correction, the 50/50 mix of water meth is not good for diesel applications. Richard L has done tests and found that as little as 20% Methanol in water can cause detonation - he recommends a safer limit of 12.5% meth to water - (not sure if this just applies to turbo applications though, due to the higher compression causing detonation - best to check with the man first) see the '306TD' thread under this Diesel Index.
One other thing, unless i'm very much mistaken, due to the lack of a throttle plate, diesels don't run any noticeable vacuum in the inlet manifold - hence the requirement for a seperate brake servo vacuum pump (and seperate vacuum pump if you're daft enough to think a turbo diesel needs a 'Dump Valve').
