DIESEL FUEL + 2T OIL = Superb performance?

HI can you enlighten me on this if this is true, saw some discussion of this but there was never a consensus... please want to know more about this

People use the 2T for lubrication as new diesel has a low lubricant in it. Extends life of component and some reports are gives better performance and fuel economy. Works well for some but not others...mixed reports

Look, I have tried it and noticed no difference in my CRD so I probably would not use it.

There are people out there that swear by it(especially the 4.2 guys), so try it for a couple of tanks and see how you go.

Good luck

Have been using Active 2T for some time in my TD42 an it does seem to make the engine run a little smoother an quieter.

HI nisspat and red92gq

seems that it will work on a 4.2 engine but what about the zd30?

NissPat - please, explain what is this 2T all about. Do we have this in PL?

2T is the type of 2 stroke oil you mix with regular unleaded petrol for use in chain saws etc. It is a mineral based oil, do not use synthetic based 2 stroke oils as they do not mix properly with diesel.

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
