Anyone used 2-stroke oil in a HDI?

[Poodle]

Dunno why the ash thing matters that much really. Presume its just to stop dpf's and cats etc clogging up. I just used whatever the stuff in my garage was haha. Gonna see how it goes

Can't remember, but it wasn't a trivial reason like that.

[kee616]

Back when i had my HDI i used a few bottles of 2 stroke on it, as others said it seemed to smooth it out

[Deangatt]

This is a must do ?

[highwayman306]

No mate, this is down to the owner.

There seems to be loads of positives for adding 2 stroke in your tank, you just have to make the decision yourself. I personally would do it and I am going to soon

[Mattcheese31]

Used to do it with the last xud, bit of extra lube for the pump can't hurt to my mind

[highwayman306]

Its supposed to lower emissions, increase mpg (marginally), lube injectors and pump leading to quieter running...the list goes on. Im thinking of getting a box of Stihl-Saw shots to chuck in

http://www.lsengineers.co.uk/stihl-2-str...100ml.html, bit pricey really but I know a guy there
http://www.lsengineers.co.uk/stihl-hp-su...100ml.html ash free this stuff is, but high price.

Thats the stuff i have been putting in mine for ages now its all been good, my injectors were really noisey before i started using it and i have noticed a difference they are quieter.

I have put my first lot (200ml) into a full tank of diesel about 5 days ago after reading up and i don't know if its just me or placebo effect but it definitely sounds smoother under load! either way I am very happy.

I take it yous keep putting it in every week then or whenever you fill the tank?

This is the first tank I have put it in mate but from what I have read from the guys on here that use it you do have to do it every tank. Its not to bad for me I only use about 2 tanks a month.

[Deangatt]

Think it's time I started to do it aswell going to get a bottle an fill her up at the weekend

[td163]

Good man! I am happy with how mine runs with it.

Im tempted to give this a try. Does it make much difference using mineral or semi synthetic?

[highwayman306]

I read semi, but heard others saying mineral does the same...?

[JTaylor2005]

Heard mineral burns better cus it's basically just thicker diesel haha

[highwayman306]

each to their own

[cully]

semi lmao!!!..... that was made as it dont oil spark plugs so bad as mineral dont think you will have that issue on a diesel

the main thing to look for is the low ash! basicly so it burns with no ash residue to clog rings and other stuff

[highwayman306]

I thought semi synth was low ash? Or most of them anyway?

[td163]

I'm using Mineral low ash stuff

What are the effects of using more than 300ml/tank? Curious

[Toms306]

Any brands/deals that anyone can recommend? Gonna try it in my next tank as well...

waste money and cause's smoke

Just gambled on a £4 bottle of low ash mineral oil whilst in Focus DIY. Only had about a 1/3rd tank left, so chucked in about 100ml, but it is a bit difficult to put in the filler straight from the bottle. It did have noticeable results though, less smoke, less injector rattle and hell of a lot more perkiness!

[cully]

use a coca cola bottle the end fits into the filler nice and if you fill the bottle to the lower label line its around 210ml

[lolsteve]

Drink vast quantities of the 2 stroke oil and then piss down the filler hole.
You member = natures petrol pump

Now i have to go out and spend £1 on a bottle of coke lol

[JTaylor2005]

Yeah but it's only a one time buy so the cost will spread out over the time ur using 2 - stroke oil

[kee616]
