what about compression and those sort of things? I have heard its not as good with two stroke oil in the tank. what is the CORRECT mix to run in my truck (99)? can i just run one tank and see if i get milage or not? thanks

 

Compression is a fixed state. You can't change it by adding additives or 2 stroke.

The only thing that can happen is that 2 stroke solves oil coal at the piston rings. But you don't want to have a dirty combustion chamber, do you?

Most of the 2 stroke users(including myself) run a 1:200 mixture that means 1 quart of two stroke on 200 quarts(50gal)of diesel.
If you use more 2stroke oil it's waste, but it doesn't harm anything. If you mix to strong it starts to smoke bluesish but it doesn't harm anything.
If you get lower in the mixture it doesn't lube enough.

It takes a while before the effect appears. Don't expect a miracle! I only gained 1mpg- thats it. But as mentioned above I do not go for mileage.
I just wan't to have protection against wear.

Other Dieselbomber members explained me how it works- just pour in the 2 stroke oil first. It mixes itself with the Diesel.

Ah, don't forget to report your results- positive or negative!

 

ok well read through most of this and ill be switching to 2-cycle next fill up, ditching the lucas...

 

a new convert! haha. Post in here with your findings once you've had a chance to test it out!

 

ok as soon as i run it down and fill it back up i will, been running lucas but from that one link it looks like its makes it worse not better...

 

The only thing you will probably ever notice is after a few years wondering why your injectors and injection pump have not crapped out yet.

 

well if the ole vp44 will hang in there another few years i will be extremely happy to use it. 215,000 miles on it and counting.

 

for some reason my 12valve likes 1/2 ounce per gallon instead of 1 ounce per. gets better mileage that way.

 

so you guys are saying I can put a quart of 2 stroke oil in my full fuel tank and it will give me a quiter engine more power and more smoke, 96 12 valve

 

no, it lubes the internal parts of the injection pump and the injectors. Yes, it does quiten the engine.
more power? No, havn't felt any...
more smoke? definetly not!
more mileage? nothing worth to mention.

...but it saves the IP and injectors from wear,that's it.
