I have been shown some threads on other forums about mixing two stroke oil in your diesel at a rate of about 500ml to a tankful (60ltr on my MK1 2.0Hdi) people are saying you get quieter running better starting & a better pick up mid range oh and less of a smoke haze when accelerating? :whistle:
I googled this, and on a engineering forum someone more qalified than me stated that if you have no DPF (diesel particulate filter) it should be ok as two stroke oil burns at a lower temp than diesel also that it will lubricate better than the ultra low sulpher diesel we are burdened with these days. As I told the mate at work who told me about these threads the two stoke oil I use for my 80's Husqvarna 430 two stroke cost around £17.00 a litre there was not much saving to be had, It turns out that any cheap two stroke oil will do IE tesco scooter oil garden, centre two stroke at around £4-5 a litre. I have given it a go filling up today I put half a litre of tesco finest in my tank
Initial Impressions (or imagination) cratch: the engine does appear quieter especially when accelerating in 3rd & 4th quieter at tickover, no hovering cloud in the mirror when flooring the throttle in the boost zone in 3rdunny:.
Apparently it is a big thing in the states to do this
I do not see this could do any harm as when a local supermarket had rapeseed oil 3ltr for £1.47 BOGOF last time fuel was this price & that was ok but without the effects noticed above?
I will keep everyone updated
