How much 2 Cycle do you run per gallon/ or tank. Mines a 34 gallon I believe could be wrong

You say "best additive" I'm assuming you're talking about the best lubrication additive?

In that case it's 5% bio added to your diesel. Yes, far more lubricative than 2-cycle oil.

I personally use Opti-lube products.

Lubricity Additive Study Results - Diesel Place : Chevrolet and GMC Diesel Truck Forums

Read that thread.

Google search for Co-ops in your area, or make a craigslist post looking for bio diesel. 5% mix in a 30 gallon tank is hardly any, but just enough to make an excellent lube.

there is a thread somewhere that has a list of different additive, including motor oil, 2 cyl oil and so on... forget where it is, but it also lists what is the cheapest for the best performance. it was in a WMO topic i think on a ford diesel site
