fuel additives
 

I seen some stuff about it but nothing defining use. What does uesing 2 stroke oil in diesel fuel do? I just put this in my 12v cummins seems to show a difference. Diesel Kleen® +Cetane Boost. Just seeing if someone could inform me on the 2 stroke oil thing. Thanks.

It lubricates:tu:

Ditto, no sulfur less lube and lube is good:rocking:

But I won't add 2-stroke oil to my 6.4 POWERSTROKE:nope: only on the pre DPF trucks:c:

Whats DPF stand for?

Diesel Particulate Filter, it catches soot to be later burned out. It's an emissions control.

Can these be removed?

Yes but you need a dpf/delete tuner:humm:

So would my 96 have a DPF? and would I be safe to add 2 stoke oil? and if so how much 2 stroke oil do I add?

Truck didn't get DPF till 2007, so you're ok to add 2 stroke oil:tu:

Nice. Okay How much should I add? would any one know what size fuel tank a 96 12 valv cummins would have on it. I thought I saw 36gal but not 100% could it be 31gal? thanks for the help.

one oz per gallon works well

Okay great thank you. How often should I add it?

my truck is also a 36 gallon tank.Yours most likely is.

I purchase a 250ml bottle of "low ash" 2 stroke oil from the local Canadian Tire store. I dump half a bottle in per tank when I fill. I can stuff 100L (26.5USgal) in my tank (93 D250). I've already replaced 1 VE pump and the lift pump once so I'm not taking any chance now! It gets some extra "lube" in the tank every time it gets fuel!

i use XDPs stuff and when i run jp8 i add some used oil to it just to be safe

i just put the stoke oil in my truck yesterday STIHL high performance it seems to work pretty good ive drove 50 miles on it so far

So 1oz. per gallon of 2 stroke oil will be good then

that seems like a lot of oil....34oz. per tank???

What kind of 2 stroke oil is best and is there any that i should

stay away from ? I know i dont want to have replace any more fuel system parts

so this sounds like a good idea if it indeed does work

so i went to the local lawn mower shop (mower needs fixed) and i priced some of these
2 stroke oils....cheapest i found was $1.17 an Oz.

yall got any ideas where i might get it cheaper or is there a cheaper way of keeping the
fuel system lubed ? ? ?

you can get supertech at walmart for about 12.00 a gal.

I used to use Lucas fuel additive with great results, but I read on a different Diesel board about 2 Cycle oil from Wally world. It runs quieter feels like it has more power and got about .5 to 1 mpg better mileage. Im getting almost 19 in town loaded down with equipment and towing a trailer.

Probally been answered here somewhere, but does it cause them to smoke? I know what happens when you accidentally put mixed gas in a gasser.

i used synthetic 2 cycle ...... BAD IDEA.... stick with ATF people it has detergent that will keep your injector tips cleaner that 2 cycle could ever do .... and it burns great i usually run 1 qt every tank if im towing and 1 qt every other if not and i have no O/D .... i get 20
I swear by it always..... the 2 cycle was not a good idea ... 7.3idi didn't like that one bit

If your truck has a DPF, i wouldn't use 2 cycle oil, ATF, motor oil:nope::td:
