2stroke in diesel mix

[larson]

i read about 2 stoke on the patrol 4x4 website and did use it on mine.. aparently it runs a little hotter helping to clean the engine and it was supposed to help run a little better. possiby helping with mpg but IF it did i dont think you would notice the bennefit..

if i remember correctly there is something in 2 stroke that lubricates the seals in pump. im unsure if this was thought to be important due to fuel mixtures changing and something being removed from derv or when running cooking oil

will try find a link

having read Larsons link, I withdraw the above, I had not appreciated the lack of Sulphur in modern Derv, very interesting read, thank you Larson, Rick

[larson]

got to keep in mind. its only a few post by somebody else.. is it credible? i dont know but it sucked me in

I am an ex diesel engineer won a championship in the 70s, so got my head screwed on, just not kept up with modern changes ie reduced sulphur, so yes all makes perfect sense, Rick

That's a good read it's got me thinking about trying it out

Ditto on that. Might pick myself up a bottle.

Next question is, does it matter which two stroke oil? Cheap and cheerful?

[Barrbeast]

larson that is the exact post on the patrol4x4 forum that started me on using 2 stroke

Alex use mineral 2 stroke, synthetic isn't as good/won't provide the same benefits. Mineral is also cheaper

[puddle hoppers inc.]

there is a low soot oil available, morrisons sell it cheap.

As a couple of you's are using the 2 stroke oil has it made any difference to your motors are they any quieter, better MPG etc ?
From reading it all I like the idea of 2 stroke oil cleaning out the carbon & cleaning the tips of the injectors & glow plugs

I use 2T oil (usually from Morrison's) in my petrol Santa Fe and in my previous diesel taerrano it always seems to make my engines smoother, quieter and marginally improves mpg been doing this for over 50 years.

Well i'm giving 2 stroke oil a go just added about 250ml to just under 3/4 tank of fuel We're hoping to get away camping on Monday so by the time we get back it should have started working it way through the system From what i've read 2T oil is supposed to help clean the injectors & glow plugs which can't be a bad thing

[larson]

that sounds a lot.. i think i was putting 7ml to £10 worth of diesel.

it was some time ago now and tbh i forget the ratio but 250ml is a lot



think back im unsure what i put in but never 250ml in 1 go.. maybe i just did not buy enough diesel at any 1 time

[larson]

i cut/paste this from the link. ratio is in there




The results of this research: any diesel additive of any manufacturer presently on the market is not worth the money!
BUT: 2-stroke oil, which we use in our motor saws, lawn mower or in 2-stroke motor engines has shown to have an extreme positive impact on diesel engines, if such 2-stroke oil is added to the diesel in a homoeophatic dosis of 1:200. In practical terms: 0,300 litre of 2-stroke oil into the 70l diesel tank. The 2-stroke oil will be absorbed by the diesel (emulsion) and grease every moving part of the high pressure pump and the injectors.

It has a 80L tank which will be getting topped up tomorrow so thought about 250ml would give me the 200-1 mix so I take it I got my maths totally wrong then
