2 Stroke Oil

[Billysgoat]

Who all is running it as a fuel additive, and if you are, how much per tank are you adding? Just started myself and while I added a bit much the first time (two quarts) the truck LOVES it!

 

[Burner]

How so?

 

[BLACK OUT]

I've always wondered about adding some to my old gas truck. So how well does it work? Does it burn better?

 

[Mountaineer]

I run it in cold weather, 1oz. per gal. but as soon as the weather warms back up I switch back to veg.

 

[BLACK OUT]

Does it work as a anti-gel in the winter?

 

[mech2161]

I've been running it for a while. 1oz to 1 gal with DK, normal dose.

Supposedly, I saw a video of a guy run at -34* F in a commonrail with 1 oz. per gal. in his tank and that was the only additive in his tank. There is a guy that did some major testing from Idaho that has his own site. I'll see if I can dig it up.

Here is a little reading for ya

Makes sense to me and does sound like it helps out some especially the VP

I run .5 oz to the gallon just to keep the seals going good in my ve truck with this ulsd. I can't tell a difference. Dad's commonrail got a little quieter when he started doing 1 oz. to the gallon.

I run about 1qt to a fill up. 2 stroke, non detergent 30wt, or what I drained out at the last oil change.
I'm thinking it adds a little lubricity, but you wont see much effect on performance. If you go with a bigger dose, depending on where your timing is set, you might actually notice it running a bit quieter, & see a little change in milage, as it slows the burn rate a little.
(& I THINK it adds a little BTU content.)
Billy, hit that Mopar man link, is an intresting read, I checked it out a few months ago.

Interesting, I was wondering about that too.



I usually go with 1 Quart everytime I fill up. I run Seafoam every once in a while and Marvel every once in a while.

I wouldn't use MMO. It contains some stuff that actually takes away from lubricity. No lubricity=bad for vp44.

So winterized diesel has a higher cetane number and thats the difference? I now gather that the only diesel fuel additive worth a hoot is 2 cycle oil. So thats it,all other additives are crap?

I've heard that from alot of people. There is are grounds for that, I've seen the data. But I have a 98 that doesn't seem to run w/o it. It's been pulling the code of death for what might be 2 years now.

I've added up to a quart of it with no difference in the way the motor sounds, the mileage, nothing.

we get pretty good fuel down here

 

[BgBlDodge]

Is that why we pay so much considering we are down the street from the bloody refineries?

 

[Scooter's Roofing]

if it makes you feel better about it, yes

 

[BgBlDodge]

No, doesn't make me feel better. LOL
