DIESEL FUEL + 2T OIL = Superb performance?

[big_fletch]

Ahhhh well lol.. Will be interesting to hear some other peoples reactions when they try the 2T oil

[GUIV]

I have used it for the second tank and noticed an improved economy, before I use it, it traveled about 550km for the main tank. This second tank with Activ 2T, it traveled 612km so far and the low fuel warning has not turn on yet. The engine seems running smoother but that can be contributed to the dawes valve that I put in recently. I will continue to use it further. It is not a cheap additive as it will cost about $6 per fill so I will look around for better price.

On the other word, Activ 2T is waht everyone uses, I read somewhere that do not use marine one as well as they have amonia for salt water corrosion inhabitant or some sort, so it not suitable although they are some how cheaper. I will stick with activ 2T and just get the cheapest I can get.

Also I would not use it on any common rail diesel as the pump produces over 15000psi and has very fine tolerance, they are also designed to be fed with low sulfur diesel so the 2T oil would not benefit as much.

"CASTROL 2T TWO-STROKE OIL
A mineral based lubricant..."

although there's a chance this could be talking about activ...

I've been using 2 stroke in my 4.2td for the last couple of months and have been achieving on average about 100km extra out of every tank.
For example my last tank of 95L I did a four day trip to stradbroke (sand driving=bad fueal economy) plus a trip from redlands to kenilworth and back.
I got a total of 943km out of that tank .
The oil I use is motorbike 2T from caltex, the non synthetic stuff and it has worked a treat and I would recomend to anyone.
Can't coment on reducing noise as I purely used it for fuel economy and wasn't really paying atention

Hey num how much or what percentage 2t do you use please as I wouldn't mind giving this a go . Even though winter is coming & will get better economy it will still be worth trying.

Quantities would be great to know
Cheers tonyD

I use about 400ml to a 95L tank, but i just measure off the side of the bottle, nothing to percise.
I was told a 1:400 ratio is good, and I figured it's close enough to 100L hehe. but then I still put that in when it's not a full fill e.g 75-80L.
But yeah defs try it, has made a world of differance to my fuel economy

ummm? Num! your maths is a little out mate! if someone said that you should be using 1:400 ratio the you should be putting about 250ml per 100lt tank. 400mls would be closer to 1:250. 237mls would be 1:400 into a 95lt tank.

Your Fuel figures look extraordinary too mate, Wow! 950km per tank! that is 9.5L to 10L /100km. in the sand. wow. My GUIV TD42Ti is lucky to get 750km out of the two tanks (115L used) I just put in a Long Range rear tank and can now get a little over 1100kms

What is your setup Num? what car? what tyres? what size Tyres?

Cheers MR

[num_301]

Yeah most likely lol, but yeah I use 400ml per main tank and about 300ml in my sub
It is pretty standard at the moment and because of the fuel economy I don't really wana do many engine mods. It's on standard 265/75-r16 tyres and a 3" straight through, only 2" lift also.
The car is a 2002 4.2td ute coil cab. alloy tray and usually have 2-3 bike on the back (bout 100-120kg each plus gear) or camping stuff.
It has about 230,000kms on it also.
Any othe questions I'd be happy to answer.
Note that only about 450km's was on the beach (bout half a tank). Also I'm not a very sedate driver, esspecially not on the beach so I Am quite happy with the fuel figgures.

What sort of setup are u running for that sort of economy??
35's and the works or pretty standard?

Yeah 35s so the figures need to be adjusted for the Odometer correction. (about 10%) a 3" lift and Roof Rack. Fuel turned up Way Way too high and a bit too much boost

Got a crossing of the Madigan Line in about 8 weeks so will be tuning it down some for that, fitting 285s and i might give the 2stroke a go for that too.

There was a massive thread on this subject on the other Patrol forum but unfortunately like all other things there its GONE! Damn!
