In the Ford 7.3L diesel manual it says not to put diesel fuel in galvanized
containers, since the diesel will dissolve the zinc. I could see the zinc
congregating in the engine oil as a result. Perhaps this solutioned zinc is
bad for all injectors and not just Ford's complicated high-pressure
injectors? In that case, a high zinc reading could also be a warning of
potential injection (and who knows what else) problems down the road.
Just a thought.....
