I wasn't trying to start drama. I Am curious to this entire topic as well. I would love to see proof one way or the other. Even if it has minimal benefits, would it be worth it??

thing is there is no proof from anyone other than people such as mopar1973man who has done his own "studies" and no offense to him, I appreciate his methods and he seems to be very good at stating his point, but as far as long term tests and "legit" companies testing them there is no proof to support theory's on 2 stroke, diesel power mag did a little test on it, but they only did a one tank run on every addative so it's hard to say, exxon, bosch, etc. has released no findings either way on additives or 2 stroke oil, not saying they haven't tested it, but if they have we don't know about it

I was adding 2 OZ. of ACETONE per 10 gallons of diesel into the fuel of my 1999 F250 7.3 & I didn't notice a big jump in the MPG

This happens. people get passionate about their Riggs. So Drama naturally comes when trying to support an opinion. It must be hard for admin to keep control of a situation that is opinion based. Can't really stop it unless somebody is blatantly being disrespectful. This is a forum when matters of opinions are being said. You get what you asked for!
Keep asking questions! You will never know.

I think it boils down to its your truck you do what YOU WANT to do or want to use. I know two stroke oil works on my diesels. I also know that I have tried numerous other name brand fuel additives and they did not preform. So what works for me may not work for you.

As far as the comment about adding "junk" to fuel and oil some people have older trucks that can not handle the fuel that we buy now. It is kinda like when they took lead out of gas they had to create additives to help the old automobiles function correctly.

Some of you guys should do a little reading and get educated - 2 cycle oil does give a pretty good lubricity bump:
