Really? I didn't know that a fire going out gets hotter.
 
Can I run Maxima in my tank? I race GNCC so I have allot of K2 around.

I also run 2-stroke motor oil (TCW3 as stated above) from wally world in my diesels. I even run it in my diesel Jetta. I don't notice a mileage change for better or worse, and I keep a close track of mileage in the VW. It quiets it down alot, so I figure it must be lubing her up better.

I just roughly measure out about a 100:1 ratio and mix with Howe's diesel additive at whatever ratio they specify on the bottle.
I also swear it helps make my Jetta smell like a 'real' diesel again, instead of the funny smell I get from its emissions-regulated crap.
 
yep it said a 200:1 ratio and i started running it last year at a quart to every fill up now switch to the ratio they said and i have noticed that it helps with mpg. i like the fact it lubs everything! oh here is a calculate i use to figure out how much to add when i fill up the tank!

Here is what happened to me personally with 2 stroke oil and my Duramax. One day truck starts smoking white at a job site idling and idle gets rough. I am thinking owe s__t injector is going out. Later remembered that I have not been adding aditives and 2 stroke in a few months. Went right back to 2 stroke oil. One quart per fill up and the truck has not smoked or ran rough since. Only missed one fill up in about 4 months now. Injector is on its last leg but I am buying time. Truck also runs noticeably quieter on 2 stroke.
