2 Stroke in the Fuel
#21
Nah
Do you run the 2-stroke oil in conjuction with the normal types of fuel addives sold for diesels (the names leave my mind for now, but I think it is cetane boost). Or do you just run it by itself. I have a mechanical IP and am thinking of switching to keep it lubricated better. I am sure the other name brand stuff works, but does it do the same thing? Should I switch? Thanks.
All I do know if that...
1. It's quiter
2. Starts a bit easier
3. Is gaining a little mileage...
Works for me and I'm sticking with it. Why not try? If you don't like it, you can go back to normal in just 400 miles or so...

What happens if it's not ashless. I've got Penzoil synthetic, and it doesn't say anything about ashless. I've ran it in two tanks, and noticed a BIG significant decrese in the noise.

LOL! It's only 3*F above right now here in New Meadows, ID and the 2 cycle oil is the only thing in my fuel no anti-gel... I've been down to -20*F no problems. I've cover 70K miles and 4 years of using 2 cycle oil. Still hitting 21-22 MPG so I hardly doubt it does damge to your fuel system... Being my VP44 got 109K miles and still going strong!

After all I've ready about this today I'm feeling enlightened. As soon as I get my LP replaced I'm going to set aside the cetane boost and run some of this 2-stroke oil. Seems to make sense and I know its no colder up here in Moscow than down there in NM. Thanks for the info. Learn something new about these trucks everyday it seems.

I can't see why anyone would not run it. Mostley with this ULSD and our 2gen trucks like the sulfer this 2stroke ok is great and beats the hell out of ATF
As Bubba said tho if you have a bad fitting it will leak but o well its worth it for the pice of mind and its why cheaper than all the "supper dupper special" add. you can buy
