bignoel Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 can anyone tell me what the down side of this mix 50ml of 2 stroke oil mix with your tank of diesel is. or does your engine benefit from this mix. noel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprinter Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 50ml in 55 Litres of juice, i reckon that's about a 1:1100 ratio. Shouldn't make one iota of difference, you could probably put 50ml of strawberry jam (seedless) and 50ml of brown sauce in there as well......... would have the same effect. Some car sites do seem to be seeing a benefit of adding 2 stroke oil to diesel but at a greater ratio than 1:1100? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprinter Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Having had a quick trawl round, it would appear you need to be somewhere nearer to 1:200 or 1:250 and use a mineral based 2 stroke oil to see improvements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignoel Posted December 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 50ml was what i was told but i knew i would get nearer to the answer on here .so there can be improvement to engine adding the correct dosage to the fuel .noel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmobiler1 Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 I have read about this before on other forums, from what I gather it is supposed to lubricate the top-end of the engine and make the tappets quieter on strike up in the mornings Some people claim to get more mpg but some people would claim that if they were getting better mpg if they put stawberry jam or any other liquid . . . I think you need something like 2/300ml per tank . . . obviously depends on the size of your tank. Stick 300ml in and see what you think, Oh and let us know. I have already done it in my old L200.

Some people say it will make improvements to you wallet by slimming it down for you. Others swear that the engine is quieter and more powerful. Cross between snake oil and placebo effect methinks. Although if i'm being honest i did chuck some in my GV this time last year and i reckoned it was quieter but not by that much as i haven't bothered continuing the experiment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsm1968 Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 There was a thread on here that said much the same thing, but about 300ml to a tank. I tried it and got 10% more milage in my VW Transporter. My mate gets 12% more in his Disco 300. And the wifes Toyota 2.2 auto MPV does exactly the same as before. The engine does however sound better, and the gear changes seem smother as the engine revs seems more controlled. It works out that two stoke from Mole Valley is less than a pound per tank, but can save 2 or more gallons per tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 blimey your transporter holds 20 gallons that must smart when you fill up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsm1968 Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 blimey your transporter holds 20 gallons that must smart when you fill up It does 500 miles on 75 litres, 3 gallons per 100. With two stroke in 10% would be 550 miles, but I can get 560+ if I drive carefully. An equivilent of putting almost two more gallons in. All racked out with tools,spares etc. it weighs 2.8 tons. Based on that I would think an empty one would do a lot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITCHF Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 I run 100ml (ish), but I'm also on 20% Veg oil (Rape seed) I'm getting better mpg and IMO it runs sweeter. Does smell like a mobile chippy if your behind me though lol :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiny tim Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 i have a toyota hiace ,60 litre tank and did a test i put 100ml of two stoke in every other tank full and measured milage over 10 tank fulls did not make any difference at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silpig5 Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 its not all about changing the mpg my td5 responded very well , a huge differance in cold start chatter , no smoke whilst under load , and slightly better response on pull away . fuel economy may be up , i dont know , but the quietness is worth the couple of quid a month on morrisons cheapy oil , adi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
