Thanks Hodge Good point.
What I will do now. Since i havent got any in there at all.
Im at half on the main tank. Im gonna put in the initial 450ml (200:1) when I fill up to a full tank today.
I will do the same to the sub
From there I will take not of what you said. When i fill up not from empty I will have to be careful of where the fuel is at

So because it quietens noise down that means its doing its job and lubricating the injectors and pump?
So in theory the pump and injectors should have a better life span?
If so were the fuel industry and car industry aware of this?
Our old diesel Tech TD42t from factory did they have any provisioning in place?

So the two choices will be Gulf Western 2T or Castrol Activ 2T.
I noticed on the website Gulf Western comes as marine 2 stroke
Is that the same thing?
Thanks guys

As long as it is a mineral 2T and not synthetic the brand is immaterial.
As prev posted I use Penrite Greenkeepers 2T which I get from Supercrap whenever it is on special.
Gulf, Castrol, Penrite, Homebrand, Dr Spocks Medicinal Rubbing Oil and Paint Remover... doesn't matter.
All you are doing is putting back in the 'minerals' that the low sulphur fuels of the last 30 years don't supply to the olden times fuel systems of yesteryear.
Indeed if you are using aftermarket/modern injectors and fuel pumps on an old mill then 2T does absolutely sweet FA

Hi, back On another forum somewhere I've heard to avoid the marine grade stuff for some reason.
I've had my truck for three years now, and kicking myself that I didn't do this sooner!

Yep... should only use Marine 2T if you do a lot of driving on the beach.

Okay I have drove 30kms
I was skeptical of this .
Honestly. It has been much quieter.
Cold start is also much quieter.
In fact im impressed for such a simple thing to do it works surprisingly well!
It gets rid of the diesel clack clack clack tack tack tack sound nicely.
Acceleration feels a tad smoother.
Its got to be beneficial with these changes. Im sure our pumps and injectors will last longer too
