Filter your used engine oil and chuck that in instead

.... don't laugh! i was researching alternative Diff and Trans Box oils yesterday and some bloke on a UK forum does exactly that - no waste is wasted - it's feed back to the beast

200 to 1 mix or 400ml to 80 litres

I had to stop using it. Couldn't even drive past a motocross track without the car shedding 2 wheels and hitting the tabletops .
Would've been funny if I hadn't loaned it to a little old lady so she could get to church that day

Hi All

I have been using Flashlube diesel injector cleaner in my defender & discovery for years at a rate of 1ml per litre every second tank.
Both vehicles run very well.

The Defender has a chip in it and when using the Flashlube has less black smoke coming from the exhaust when you plant your boot into it.

When fuelling at a country fuel station a few weeks ago I did not notice on the stand alone fuel pump had diesel on one side and petrol 98 octane on the other
and you can guess what comes now the defender got 7 litres of petrol and
60 litres of diesel and is now going like a rocket and has also reduce the black smoke some more ( the tail pipe has gone from jet black in colour to about 3-4 shades lighter to a mid range grey ) the fuel economy seams much better at this point to.
Will keep you posted

Some of the transport companies I have worked for in the past have always reused the engine oil by filtering it through a magnetic tray followed by a fine filter before adding it to there diesel tanks along with dot 3 brake fluid to increase the burn rate.
To sum it up reusing your waste oil to lubricate the injectors and brake fluid to clean the injectors and to improve the power.

Cheers

Given it would be a marketing bonanza for them, do any 2 stroke oil producers claim it is beneficial to add it to diesel. None as far as I know but anyone is welcome to prove me wrong.

If you don't add it though, there is some evidence that the life of the muffler bearings is shortened.

You'll only need to replace them once (pig of a job) and you will add oil to your fuel.
