DIESEL FUEL + 2T OIL = Superb performance?

[threedogs]

well I have to admit it has quietened down my motor heaps.
Used to be very noisey at idle, very quiet now so yes happy camper
Quiet on hard acceleration as well, redline stuff.
In future I'll use one bottle per 165 ltr

EDIT after reading that link from Fry I have learn't a new word "lubricity" wtf
can someone put it in a sentence and make some sense.
@ HL looks like its OK for the bigger diesels as well

Well I have trialled this at a mixture of 200 to 1 ratio with shell advance 2T probably over the last 18 months . Next to no difference in fuel economy but it starts easier in the colder winter months and idle rattle is reduced noticeably .One drawback for me is the exhaust odour is far stronger than without it , stopped using it in November for this reason but come winter I will be back on it for sure . Its a good thing me thinks .

Hi boots,

I didn't notice any smell different with or without the oil add, but less smoke for sure and better purring.

Taken from Wiki lol

In a modern diesel engine, the fuel is part of the engine lubrication process. Diesel fuel naturally contains compounds that provide lubricity, but because of regulations in many countries (such as the US and the EU), sulphur must be removed from the fuel before it can be sold. The hydrotreatment of diesel fuel to remove sulphur also removes the compounds that provide lubricity. Reformulated diesel fuel that does not have biodiesel added has a lower lubricity and requires lubricity improving additives to prevent excessive engine wear.

The other thing I read at work the other day was about using Biodiesel as its made with reused oil.
I could only find one place locally for me that has it (B20) 20% BioDiesel the rest normal Diesel.
might give that a try but thinking 50% B20 then 50% normal for one tank.

[threedogs]

whats the price difference with Bio-Diesel to normal Diesel ??

[Fry]

as of today in my area its
157.9 for normal
156.9 for Bio

[entilzah]

169.9 no bio

[SonOf]

Is there any issues with the newer diesels and running bio.? I would think with my old 4.2 (1999) there would be less issues but what about the new common rails etc.

Have not seen bio here yet but know that they have one of the most moddern processing plants in the north to make bio from the poppy seeds which are a biproduct of the opium crop.

I have a mate who makes his own bio and runs it in his F250, goes great. Another mate ran it in his rodeo and was good until he went camping in the mountains. Clogged all his fuel lines and filter when it snowed overnight. Had to heat his fuel up in a drum over the fire! To be fair another mate with him had trouble with normal (not alpine) diesel in his 100 series too.
