Hi Robert,
The purpose of the fuel density compensator is to increase fuel delivery of
less dense fuels. Diesel has the highest "volumetric heating value" so when
any fuel which is less dense is detected, more fuel will be delivered to
keep the power output of the engine constant. That's all this gizmo does.
If your compensator has been idle for a year then it may be sluggish in
operation.
An alternative solution is to leave the compensator bypassed and manually
increase the fuel delivery.
Then, when you go back to diesel, reduce the fuel delivery to where it is
now.
You make the adjustment with the screw at the base of the fuel density
compensator facing the hydraulic head of the pump. It has a tamper proof
cover.
Good luck,
Bjorn
