By bypassing the fuel compensator you are basically having the the
injection pump thinking it is running gasoline ( the conpensator movable
plate will remain in the lowest position) so the fuel plunger sleeve can
move up to its highest or higher position, under acceleration, thus
giving the engine a bigger "gulp" of fuel. Diesel fuel has much more
BTU's per gallon than gas( and Jet A) which = more power & heat. Instead
of bypassing the compensator on my duece, I adjusted it to supply a
higher rate over the entire range so I can still burn other fuels and get
fairly consistant power.
