Re: 2-stroke oil and diesel

This is the first I have heard of this.
The poster does not give any references to substantiate their claims.

I treat this with slightly more respect than I treat the claims of snake oil merchants.

Why?

Because the poster has nothing to gain from the sale of the 2stroke oil.

Regards,
Tony

Re: 2-stroke oil and diesel

Guy's I did post this in the off topic section.
I thought it might be a good read.
I know most people here would not have a need for it due to it being
for full dino diesel and have the DPF .
It states it can lower the soot level and not cause problems blocking the
DPF which has been a problem with new diesels running around urban areas
A few guy's have started to trial this on the VW forum who have the new TDI's

Theirs going to come a day when most vehicles that are currently suitable
for SVO,BIO come to an end and we need to look at commonrail and the
dreaded DPF.
The more info and experiments gained now might benefit everyone later.

DPF= diesel particle filter

Re: 2-stroke oil and diesel

Before I switched my boat and tractor to BD, we always put 2 stroke in the Dino after they removed the sulphur. This was recommended by a GM marine mechanic and it certainly made a difference to the engine operation, it was much quieter and smoother running. Our local long haul trucking company uses 2 stroke in their fuel as recommended by their Volvo mechanic.

The marine mechanic said even though they had hardened the valves etc in new engines, it still doesn't stop the extreme wear that comes with what he called the "sandpaper fuels of today". He reckons fuels of today are extremely harsh and designed like the average consumer goods, creating short life times in fuel systems and engine components which adds to company profitability, that's why parts for today's vehicles are so very expensive and dodgy.

A pretty reasonable observation when you consider the life of a car today is about 1/3rd of what it was 50 years ago. Fuel economy is not much different to 40 years ago, in fact in lots of cases it's worse as engines of today are lucky to make 100000klms before needing a major costly service or repair.

I reckon when you deal with profit manipulated commodities, you take no notice of the propaganda nor rely upon so called sales or company experts and look at the situation realistically. After all, we all know what an expert is, X is an unknown quantity and spurt is a big drip.
