DIESEL FUEL + 2T OIL = Superb performance?

[num_301]

Yeah once the intercooler, 4" lift and 305/70's come I think I'll be bought back to earth with my fuel readings haha.

I will be giving this a go this week. Will be monitoring results and advise.

I used to use auto Trans fluid 1L each tank when the low sulphur fuel came out but now I have a late model patrol I don’t bother
1. Its common rail and high pressure
2. The engine was made to run the low sulphur fuel.
3. I was only using it to swell the seals in the old mechanical pump to stop leaks
I’ve also started newly rebuilt diesel engines on straight auto Tran’s fluid they run very well on the stuff and not a puff of smoke.

Any more resaults from this?
Interested to see other peoples figures

Ive been using castrol active 2T now for about 2 months. Not sure on fuel economy because I don't really measure it as I'm lazy. But what I have noticed is when I start it in morning for work. It doesn't vibrate as much. Sounds more like a normal engine then an old tractor. Also found the power curve seems smoother. I was a sceptic at first but would recommend it now. I'm in a 1999 2.8 GU

Going to give it a crack next time i fill up. I have noticed that for some reason when i add injector cleaner to my fuel i get over 100 km extra out of my 2 tanks on the td42..... same with my old mans toyota... cant work out why haha

Yes, sure. My old motobike used to fur on it.

So, what are proportions mixing diesel with 2T? I own Y60 with TD42T - so should be satisfied? Are there any problems later with hygiene of fuel system. Maybe doses of this oil makes pump or injectors rotten?
Sorry if this was already mentioned - then help me out with some link

It wont hurt the 4.2 or the 2.8, ratio is 200 to 1, expect a quieter engine and a slight improvement in fuel economy.
Block the EGR, Remove butterfly from intercooler if you have one, fit a catch can and drive it like you stole it!!
Cheers, the ferret.

Well I am won over on this for the 4.2, I cannot believe how much quieter the motor is and only after 80 Klm's from when I put the castrol 2t in the tank. Don't know if fuel consumption will improve but just the quietness is worth it, will see if economy improves!

I tried this over a 6 month period about 3 years ago. There was no change what so ever to noise,power or fuel economy. I think you would be better off, & cheaper to just use chemtech every now & then, like I do. Maybe it is the quality of fuel (brand) that some people use & may be the 2T helps with lower quality fuels. I only run BP so maybe why It didn't work for me. Can't help think it's just the placebo effect taking place.

[Stropp]

Well as I said the engine is definitely quieter but will reserve my opinion on the fuel consumption, I assume the quieter engine would be the mechanical noise from the fuel pump being reduced!
