Thread: Adding 2 stoke oil to your diesel

Perhaps for the less technical you could specify the years of vehicles with rotary pumps as I wouldn't know what mine is.

200/300 tdi's are rotary VE pump. TD5's are unit injectors.
VE pumps are lubricated by diesel, if they're having issues then diesel lubrication may be enough to tip the balance.

I have an Isuzu with an inline pump, I can't see it giving a damn about what it gets fed.

No noticeable noise decrease.
No increase in fuel efficiency, (if anything worse).
And no noticeable changes to performance.

There may be some merit to the claims as a lubricity supplement in low sulphur diesel according to some stuff floating around on the net, but that may be about it.

This trip included a fair amount of highway and offroad work including the token run over 'Big Red'.

I have since discontinued the trial.

Paul you need to now repeat your trial without 2T added to the fuel, this will give you a true comparison

The trial I am conducting compares the differences of adding 2T to my known driving patterns etc that I do without 2T added.

I will be interested in the results......

Back from QLD again.
The main reason the oil goes in the fuel tanks is just to get rid of it.
During winter they have an oil heater in the workshop, the rest of the year
the trucks burn it.
The c15s have not had any problems, but i think they have stoped
doing it on the c12s not sure of the reason as i don't drive one.

Am going to try 2st in my tractor (b275 inter) today.

whether it is worth the extra running costs would be another question...

this to me begs the question...

IF adding 300ml of two stroke to your 80 litre tank of diesel DOES make a marked difference to how your engine runs..

what is wrong with the engine in the first place ?

Have you read the thread that this thread is discussing?

I put the 2 stroke oil in the tank of my 120 4BD1 na about 3 weeks ago, have not noticed any increase in power etc but it certainly runs quieter.
In fact my wife remarked the other day that she cannot hear me come up the drive any more and wondered what I had done to it.

After putting oil in your fuel you should all fit Hiclones,that crap that you put in your oil to lower friction and one of those turbo's thats just a blender motor with a fan on it and you'll all be sitting pretty.If you want something that works get your engines tuned and tappets done and fit D/gas.

I'd take the computer fan supercharger before I'd fit D-gas or any other lpg/propane system.
