Adding 2 stoke oil to your diesel

**PAT303** · 19th October 2009, 01:39 PM

Go to any diesel workshop and ask them about fuel additives,I like the water and unleaded ones,I've seen a perfectly healthy Patrol 4.2 destroyed by the owner putting water down it's guts because his mate said it'll clean the valves,I've also seen a brand new rebuilt cummins split a liner from having unleaded put in the tank because it made the engine pull harder.There is no such thing as a silver bullet,if the injectors are dirty pull and service them and do timing and tappets while your there.

Regards to all Jim.

Jim, did you ever do this, and what were the results if you did?

No, early TD4 and TD6 are identical just 4 and 6 cylinders (BMW) Later TD4 is a PSA engine. The TD5 is a rover engine and shares some parts with a L series Diesel

I have just filled the disco with diesel, i might give this a try, might just put 200ml in the 90L tank though and see if this has an effect.

Tried this in a Mitsu Delica 4D56T with very good results. Motor idled and ran quiter, better fuel economy, and no bad side effects after aprox 15,000kms. Dont know about late model engines though. Plenty of info about this on other 4x4 forums too. Bob

Anyone tried it?

So long as it is a TCW3 rated oil. Apparently, from what I have read on other forums, and also that Yamalube [for yamaha outboards] is the best. Under N O circumstances should ordinary 2stroke oil be used. Bob

Marine 2 stroke is thinner and burns cleaner than normal 2 stroke mainly for emissions and marine 2's run cooler having a constant cold water feed for cooling.

I used to run a synthetic marine in my RZ500 years ago during winter, smelt a lot like castor. Used to start better, warm up quicker, run smoother and the pipes went a nice clean white/grey rather than the usual sooty black. Smells pretty good too when you run it on a 50/50 avgas/unleaded fuel

Miss the days of avgas off the pump...
