Idiots!
I wrote a email to chevron corp.
Asked them if it was ok to add two cycle oil to my diesel fuel to lubricate my vp44. The response was: Don't ever add two cycle oil to your fuel, use fuel injection cleaner. What! What! Nothing more to say or add, just sharing chevrons employees intelegence. :s: |

I imagine that they legally wouldnt tell because the email could be saved and if any harm came from their advice then they could be held liable.

Additives are completely unnecessary in the first place. Raw diesel has a minimum lubricity spec it has to meet and distribution stations add their own additives on top of it. The entire "sulfur" scare is perpetuated by additive producers to sell more product. |

Mopar1973Man Well Since DB.com has a 2 cycle oil thread I better get to work here... Here we go... First off let me post my web site links... http://www.frontiernet.net/~mopar197..._cycle_oil.htm Second off here is my Dyno results running 105:1 Ratio of 2 cycle oil and Diesel fuel. Ok Gang! I got more to report about conserning 2 cycle oil and HP/TQ numbers... Yes I got my truck on to the rollers and got to dyno it out... You all are going to be shocked with my numbers. First off let me lay down some baseline information. You all have seen my web page on my BOMBs and MODs I've done. Ok... We all know that the 2002 Cummins SO is rated for 235 HP 460TQ at the flywheel. Run #1 - Stock mode with Edge Comp Turned off. 228 HP - 462 TQ Well this proves there is very little drag between the flywheel to the rear end. Also this proves there was very little change in HP/TQ number conserning 2 cycle oil. I'm using conventional Dino lubes in everything except the transmission which requires the Castrol SynTorque. But still even this number is high for HP/TQ at the rear wheels... 2 Cycle oil maybe??? Run #2 - Edge Comp turned on 5x5 379 HP - 831 TQ Run #3 - Edge Comp turned on 5x5 381 HP - 826 TQ Ok we all know the Edge Comp give about 120 HP on 5x5 seting but now do the math. 381 - 228 = 153 - 120 = 33 HP difference! Where did this power come from? I got no other fueling enhancements and only a BHAF and straight piped exhaust 3"... It's got to be the 2 cycle oil helping the burn.. So never the less I'm a extremely happy camper and will continue to use 2 cycle oil. I will report my ratio of mix here soon I need to pull the information from my fueling logs. I know I'm much lower that 128:1 because I added a full quart to my last fill up. Read more: https://www.dieselbombers.com/altern...#ixzz0wxzCHZB9 How u like them apples! |

Absolutely true. I would add that I don't normally go with "minimum" type measures when trying to meet some objective or standard with regard to the equipment I maintain and operate. I usually go for things more like "maximum" and "higher" when it comes to my engines, especially where power and reliability come into play.
Absolutely false. The entire sulphur scare comes about because of the EPA, the green lobby and their infinite wisdom about how to engineer diesel engines and their fuel systems. They also know alot about how to control air pollution with ethanol in fuel as well. :w2: |

http://www.frontiernet.net/~mopar197..._cycle_oil.htm Second off here is my Dyno results If you expect your "test" to be taken seriously by people with functioning neurons you need to actually test the fuel, not guess. I got no other fueling enhancements and only a BHAF and straight piped exhaust 3"... It's got to be the 2 cycle oil helping the burn. Absolutely false. Sulfur has zero to do with lubricity. Its the process of removing sulfur that alters it. What little is lost is more than made up for artificially by the refinery. Woohoo, someone knows whats up! |
