Fun question “_)

What I do know is that the proposed fuel at the moment is decaborane, which is composed of boron and hydrogen and I would think it’s normally manufactured to closer tolerances than the borax detergent…

It would be nice to be able to scoop raw borates and hydrates into a DPF reactor and keep it going but I suspect there’d have to be built-in miniaturized chemical refining plant to make that happen with the current designs 🙂

Then again if it’s a fusion reactor and you have enough fuel to get it started then an additional module containing such refining gear might just be a regular accessory…
