I'm pretty sure in Mopar Man's posts it shows that that's actually detrimental to the fuel

So I tried this 2-stroke idea in the fuel. First thing I noticed was nothing, second was the o-rings on my fuel filter canister started leaking. Coincidence? Talked to a few diesel shops up here, and they don't like the idea. Apparently there are no lab results of how the 2-stroke changes the burn in diesel, although they agree it will add lubricity. I'm running Stanadyne Performace additive now, and it does make a difference for me.

Ive been running a mix of filtered W_?_O and 2-stroke for over two years in both a 1st Gen and an '07 commonrail. Works great.

It works good for me I have been using it now for six months and I did notice a little noise reduction and a little gas milage.I use the one from walmart supertech.

That's odd... 75K miles (4 years) now of use 2 cycle oil and not a single fuel leak issue... High MPG ranging 21-22 MPG in the summer time and I just pulled out my stock injectors and upgraded to RV275 and my stock injectors were simply clean as you could get... Oh Yeah... My injection pump has 110K miles and still going!

I have no shortage of used oil! The fuel in California sucks, it's ultra low low sulfer, so about 1 oz of used oil per gallion will be in my next fuel up.

I've been running the Supertec for a couple years too and no fuel leak issues. Must have just been a coincidence.

I was running Amsoil Diesel concentrate but switched to Super Tech about 3 months now. Seems to be fine. I do notice a bit of 2-stroke smoke at initial start-up but no biggie.
