muddycoffee Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 petrol will not lubricate a diesel engine it will do the opposite, remove the lubricating oil from the diesel used before, and cause it to seize up ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geared Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 2-stroke oil does do a good job of increasing lubrication of the pump and injectors, reduced wear and tear and can quiet down loud injectors on an old motor. Some people have noticed it helps with cold starting as well. There's no performance advantage. petrol will not lubricate a diesel engine it will do the opposite He means 2-stroke oil.

AngryDog Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Diesel is an oil, 2 stroke is an oil. What 2 stroke does is lubricate the pump etc. it's used in place of the sulphur that's now missing from diesel that used to do the same job. Reckon on around 300ml to 60 litres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eater Sundae Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 http://www.brick-yard.co.uk/forum/adding-2-stroke-oil-to-diesel-tank-read-this_topic37935.html The link to a proper set of blind testing of different additives in this link seems to show that a few % of biodiesel gives the best improvement interms of lubricating pump internals. Edit. Does anyone know which companies include biodiesel in their fuel, and if so, then how much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleksandr Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Looks like what you have heard is true !!! Just get the amount of oil right and everyones a winner I don't trust the author. He says, and I quote: "... if such 2-stroke oil is added to the diesel in a homoeophatic [sic] dosis [sic] of 1:200. ..." Clearly, he means 'homoeopathic' not 'homoeophatic', but a true homoeopathic dose would be effectively zero in infinity. That he does not know this, nor indeed has the ability to spell, suggests that he is nowhere near as bright as he needs to be in order to make this claim. Also, anyone who likens a supposedly effective treatment to homoeopathy, clearly has a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Edit. Does anyone know which companies include biodiesel in their fuel, and if so, then how much? Morrisons, 5% Bio. They also recommend you DO NOT use it with any new diesel cars because it may damage the engine. So don't believe everything you read online.
