Hey all, basically for the last few weeks i've been testing a little theory. It's been proven but wanted to see the results for myself. As you all know there are various additive you can get for Diesels (redex, wynns and millions more) but over on the Vec C, Alfa and Land Rover forums they have been adding 2 Stroke Oil to their fuel and getting quite impressive results. The oil is meant to replace the additives missing from current diesel fuel (afaik) in order to lubricate and help with the burning of fuel.
As i said, i've been doing this a few weeks now, using approx 150ml of 2 Stroke to every half a tank. At first there wasn't much difference, but after around 100 miles, the engine was a lot smoother and quieter and i am now finding that there is more low end torque. There is also less smoke when i flex my right foot and the car is easier to start in the colder weather. A word of warning though, do not use it if you have a DPF fitted, unless you want to say hello to a nice large bill as it will kill it.
So all in all, very impressed with 2 Stroke Oil as an additive, i was very dubious at first but am now a strong supporter
