Is anyone noticing that it blows smoke more after using it???
After or whilst using it?Quote:

Not a CRD though.
Whilst using it. I noticed the other night when someone was behind me a fair stream of smoke but being night and seeing it in someones headlights always seems worse lol once i empty this tank I'll do a comparison with no 2t.
I might give this a go also. Have only 50,000km on the clock however has always been pretty noisey and thirsty (more so with roof racks and 285/70/17)
Megatexture how have you found it over the last week?
Dave_H thanks for the updates.
I might give I a go on the trip to Krisso's place

as for the patrol I used a little less oil than the ranger but it certainly feels/sounds smoother through the rev range.
I've got a chip on mine and prior to the t2 if I planted my foot it would blow a bit of smoke/ unburnt fuel but I think that's due to where I've got the chip set, i didn't notice this smoke increase or decrease but its hard to compare that kind of thing.
I will be continuing to use it and will up the dosage in the gu to the ratio everyone seems to be using and fingers x there are more gains to be had.
I forgot to get figures for fuel but I'll do that next tank full
I bought some 2T ages ago but keep forgetting to do it. I will have a crack this week if I remember too.
Hi, been reading with interest about the 2T adding @ 1/200 ratio, I was ready to go the trial as I do country miles with a fair load on (no trailer) What stopped me was a post which didn't recommend the use in common rail diesels, can anyone ratify this. I get a bit concerned as I go prospecting into some remote areas and would rather leave any doubts at the bitumen. Also, any chance of an update from the crew that have been using the 2T for a while now. I'm new to the Nissan and came across this forum at the same time and I'm mighty pleased with the help you guys give up, thank you very much, it's been great reading.

my rig seems to be similar to the Cuppa's (2006, 4.2 TDI with Telstra body 300,000 km)
Bumped for mingo as the post went into moderation.Quote:

Cheers Cuppa, I took the test on the 2T and the results were instant as far as driving through the seat of your bum, it felt like an anchor had been removed from the towbar within about 5km of the Servo. Cant notice any difference in economy but start up is a pleasant noise. Another bloke with a similar rig tried it after and agreed that things felt as if they freed up.
cheers

Ok.
Firstly i'm probably going to put some noses out of joint with this... But this is MY findings in MY car running 2 stroke.
GU III Grenade with 144,000km
I brought some Active 2T to try in my car to see if it made any difference, My motor wasn't that loud to start with, noticed no difference in noise after 700km. The car ran fine for about 100km then it felt like it was down on power and sluggish. I figured it was just my head playing games, but i just filled up again added DP and no 2 stroke and i have a noticeable difference, power and response is back again.... I noticed the difference within 3km of leaving the servo.
Last tank of fuel before 2T i got 840km this tank with the 2T i only got 700km so there is a fair amount of difference i put down to adding 2T @ 200:1.
This is my car and my results, I'm sure in older motors like a 400,000km TD is makes a difference but in my car everything went backwards.
I'll see how many KM's i get out of this tank without 2T before i am 100% certain 2T is to blame.
If using Castrol 2T, you are wasting your money, use ==> Gulf Western 2 Stroke Engine Oil if you must use 2T oil.
Attachment 59062
Supercrap only had the GW Outboard version on the shelf when i went shopping so ended up with Activ 2T. I might run a couple of tanks thru it without 2T and give it another try as i still have half a 1LT bottle left.
Don't get caught like I did! I kept looking for that oil in the automotive section and could never find it thinking they're out. Its kept in the "garden and outdoor section".Quote:

Hows everyone going with this?
Im going to give it a go on my TD42Ti.
Works great in my Chev... def helps the "pre low sulphur fuels" components.
For engines designed for low sulphur fuels it doesn't do shit.
My TD loves it. Definitely makes it "smoother".Quote:

I haven't put any in for about .. 3-4 tanks now so it's back its original 4.2 ticka-tacka-ticka-tacka tractory diesel sound.

So you mean smoother acceleration too?
lol you described the td42t sound perfectly tacka tacka for sure!
So perfect for our old school TD42t dieselsQuote:

Being a Td42ti is it normal for puff of black smoke on accelerating before boost is made?
I heard this is normal. Im embarrassed enough and don't want extra smoke :D
I don't think so. Once in a while, if you cop a whiff from the exhust you can kinda smell 2T in it, but thats about it.Quote:

It does absolutely bugger all for performance or whatever as it pretty much only helps with injector longevity/spray pattern/wear esp at 200:1
2T does the job that the gnarly compounds in Distillates used to do before the Greenies made the world take them out/stop adding.
So basically litres x 5 to get the amount.
Say if you half a tank left can you put 2 stroke in or best to wait until fill up time so it gets mixed nicely
2T is very soluble so you can add it pretty much whenever.
I run it at between 200:1 and 300:1
Today for example I threw 250ml in my Aux 'cause tomorrow I'll put 60-70 litres of fuel in.
(Around town I keep the main at about 50 litres and pump from the Aux as required).
When touring (or if I put any fuel in the main around town) I throw the 2T in afterwards.
Also when touring I either take a couple of disposable placcy bottles of 2T (500ml coke are ideal) and dose the tanks then throw away or not even bother with the 2T at all.
Legends. Thankyou
I am assuming the 2T is the synthetic oil from castrol? I read that the non synthetic offered better protection, can't recall the detail, however i un straight mineral lawn mower grade and the clack is reduced on my chev for sure. I add at 200:1 as above plus run a slug or moreys also.
No, the synthetic isn't any good and does pretty much bugger all, it has to be the mineral version of 2T for best results.
I run the 'lawn mower version' from Penrite (Greenkeeper)

I run this.

Perfect. I have a Caltex down the road. I heard that one or the Gulf Western one is good as its dirt cheap tooQuote:

The difference it made to the tone of the engine was very noticeable. Within a few kilometres of the new fuel and 2 stroke going in, the top end was less clacky and rattle free. Smooth through all the gear ranges.
Amazing!!
Thats insane. Idle quieter too?Quote:

It sounds like all the moving parts are now getting some proper goodness!;);)
Uuummmm... the 2T is in the fuel so it only affects (or lubricates) 3 things;Quote:

If enough 2T is getting to affect other 'moving parts' then you have serious problems in your oil feed :)
Thats why she's running quieter!Quote:

Thats it. Im gonna get some gulf western or the castrol activ tomorrow morning and chuck in 450ml in main and 150ml in sub when I fill up.
Its gotta be good for the pump and injectors
What's the capacity of your tanks? Get the ratio right.Quote:

I've been putting in 250 mL for an entire fill. And still makes a considerable difference. So I just add the 250ml to the main tank, than fill both tanks and gradually fill the main from the sub as the main goes down.Quote:

Important thing to remember is, this works good when filling from empty.
Some people fill up when their tanks are half or quarter full or whatever... If you do it this way and add 2T each time, the 2T ratio to diesel might rise. Hope that makes sense.
