2 stroke oil in common rail diesels - new article (brief)

[Robo]

I know..
I don't think running half a liter is worth it imo.
So just some lite maths..
An average of 7k/L gives us $32,000 (roughly at 112c/L) for 150,000k's traveled.
Now in that 150,000 km we fill 95L 225 ish times.
Now even at $5 of oil each fill that's $1100 of oil.
That's a fair wack off the set of new injectors, and one would hope they see out those sorta k's..

I paid $600 exchange.
Set of 6 suit td42t.
almost half the cost and lots less mucking around each fuelup.

Last few tanks without 2T i have been averaging 12-12.5 just filled up before after running the last tank with 2t and 13.52... Same type of driving around town for a take couple of tanks... So it seems i lost 1l/100 running the 2t, but i'll cop that for piece of mind. I wont run it again for another 2-3 tanks then give it dose once the ip starts getting louder again.

what ratio where you running it at softy. i can't remember anyone seeing such a big difference in fuel economy especially a negative effect .

[Softy]

485ml/90L

Everytime i have used 2T i have got worse economy for that tank.. No idea why.

thats about 185 to 1 softy . thats the richest mix ivé seen . some say 500 to 1 works well , with one report of about 1600 to 1 working . maybe your mixture is to rich and it is causing poor combustion of the fuel mixture .

Ok last tank at 400-1. No noticeable difference in engine noise at all and figures returned same same as prior tanks.

I reckon I'm getting About 1/2 k per litre better.

So at $8.00 per litre for two stroke at 400-1 that's 125ml to treat 50l so $1.00 for same.

Looking a lot like I'm saving a quid here!
