I gather you mix your own fuel, I reckon 5% diesel (or veggie oil) mixed in would up the BTU's of the fuel without giving any significant problems with the engine or smoke.

Rather than testing with an expensive auto engine, use a standalone generator. First warm up the engine stop it and drain the residual. Baseline the performance by timing how long it runs feeding a standard load, say a space heater and a clock. Then try the experimental fuel with the same load and reset clock. If there is an improvement, the clock will run longer. You will also have quantitative numbers on how much better.
