I just read this whole thread, some interesting info. I used some oil and 2 cycle oil on separate occasions about 5 or 10,000 miles ago and intended to run 2 stroke oil consistently but somehow didn't. I've started using it again, 32 oz to a rank this first tank, we'll see if economy is effected. Next tank I'll try 16oz at refill.

 

Deezel Stink3R: Sorry for going back to your old posts:

#183/01.29.2010: "It doesn't matter what kind of Diesel engine 2-stroke oil is added"
#224/07.05.2010: "There is no mil. testing for Common rail engines.All engines that are used in the german military are VP or inline pumps with the lower pressures"

You statted: No tests for CR-truck engines in the Bundeswehr! But what about CR-car engines? Any tests? For european users this may be interesting.

I am using 2-Stroke oil in my diesel car since 6 months: starts quietly in winter. No negative effects

 

nope, sorry, no tests- but a lot of the german Mercedes and BMW sites drivers use 2 stroke in their CR's.

I'm getting tired reading those sites there are a lot of self made "Engineers" debating about pro's and con's.

Some statements are simply a reptition of already existing statements. And if somebody tells me syn stroke burns worse than mineral he has no idea what he is talking about. These syn oils were developed because they burn and lube better than average oils.
Yes, 2 stroke gets thicker in winter cold areas. But it mixes itself after a while. And when mixed and solved it won't seperate again.

The first statement depends on the burning charakteristics of 2-stroke. It burns better than diesel itself.

the second statement depends on tactical needs. Electronic controlled engines are vulnerable to ECM. So simpler is sometimes better.
Yes, they do have modern trucks, but they are not used on a battlefield with extrem conditions and extrem environments.

 

well my connections for my fuel pressure guage with my fass line started leaking today... i know the oil caused it... but simple fix!!!! yay

 

how do you know the oil caused the leaks

 

JP-8 contains about 3000 PPM of sulfur. So its High Sulfur!

Ref. Conoco Phillips FMPNo: 1014 per MIL-DTL-83133E

Our commercial Jet A is .06 PPM Its close to Low Sulfur Diesel as per our Lab tests.

I use our waste fuel in my 83' Mercedes TD with 25:1 2 stroke, now after reading this thread Ill change that to 100:1.

I dont think the DPF in the 6.7 FPS will like that much sulfur and 2 stroke oil.

Off road disel and ULSD fuels have the same amount of sulphur. The off-road disel has a different Federal tax code for farmers, ranchers, etc...

 

OK guys wat do you think, should I add some 2 stroke, or somthing else to the fuel for my mid 80's Kubota tractor ?

 

bump, anybody ?

 

I put some in my Ford 3500 diesel and honestly think it run way better.
