Off road isn't going to take out injectors and injector pumps. The only difference is the dye

Unless its off road fuel from a farm tank with a batch of water and crud in it! I've seen guys destroy brand new trucks by trying to save a penny by running home heating oil (and sucking all the crud off the bottom of the tank).

I could only see two cycle being an issue if it was ran in too high a concentration (is that possible in diesel?) or if it caused something that was dirty to release into the system (slug of dirt through the system). The latter was caused a few years back by the intro of ULSD which has a greater cleaning ability...there were a few trucks running around the died from plugged filters.

Almost sounds like a batch of bad fuel caused more significant problems...any update?

I run 10 oz of Diesel Clean(gray) and 20 oz of 2 stoke oil to lube and quieten the engine a little, just like getting some good LSD, if I go a while without running it, I can tell the difference in power in a few days as it cleans stuff up.

This is off topic but I would never run ATF through a CP3 with the tight tolerances they have. I wouldn't even run it through a VP44. ATF has so many friction modifiers in it, and its not an ashless fluid.

2 stroke is definitely not causing the problems, and its not going to clean injectors.

Default filters

As said by others, 2 stroke dissipates almost instantly. If you are running a small micron filter, the better off your fuel system will be. I run the 3 micron on my fass system (they just plug faster)
