DIESEL FUEL + 2T OIL = Superb performance?

**YNOT** · 23rd January 2011, 10:14 AM

The recommended mix is 200:1. I'm yet to hear of any negative side effects as long as mineral based oils at 200:1 mix is used.

I am scared to do this... hehehehe fuel quality here in manila is a mess.... and was getting confused with if it is only good in the DIESEL or Petrol

So 200 to 1 what would that be to the main tank empty and to the sub tank empty?

**YNOT** · 28th January 2011, 10:40 PM

It's 1 litre of 2T to 200 litres of diesel, so 95 litre main tank would take about 450ml of 2T and about 150ml to 30 litre sub tank..........I think? I'm hopeless at maths.

Stay away from synthetic oils, they don't mix properly with diesel. Any of the mineral based oils should be ok, Castrol 2T is known to be good.

Ynot correct about the ratios 475ml for 95L diesel and 150ml for 30L sub - would you use it in a 2009 ZD30 with 20000 Kmls

I don't know that it would be a great benefit on such a late model, they were designed for low sulpher diesel.

IIRC 2-stroke should only be added to earlier diesel engines. If your engine has a catalytic convertor, two-stroke may stuff it - again, IIRC.

Use cheap mineral-based two-stroke; two-stroke oil was designed to burn. You can't really "overdose" on it, in fact your engine will run fine on 100% two-stroke oil.

I've been adding it to my 1994, because the fuel quality in Ukraine is sometimes "hit or miss," or rather, "miss or really miss." I get some funky Russian brands of oil which are probably as dubious as the diesel fuel here.

Thought I would dig up this thread and post some of my results..
I have a 2002 GU 3.0 ZD30..
I for the past couple of weeks have been running 200-250ml of Castrol Active 2T into my 95l of diesel and I can honestly say it has made a difference.. Was abit skeptical at first, but overall I'm impressed.. Had my housemate and Father both ask what I did to the motor as was a lot quieter and smoother (especially on cold mornings)..
I would have no problems recommending this to other people

Yep, good stuff, go for it.
