2stroke oil? - Steel Soldiers::Military Vehicles Supersite

With the ULSD they have comming out of the pumps nowadays I was thinking of throwing in some marine 2 stroke to help the deuces injection pump a bit. Was wondering if there was any harm in this, I'd use normal 2 stroke, but it only comes in tiny bottles, marine comes in gallon jugs.

I also hear it masks that pesky red dye

Curious the thoughts on that myself. I had thought of using that as well when burning off old gas mixed in the tank.

I run it in mine for the same reason. I run about 100:1 mix. I doesn't seem to cause any extra smoke that I can tell and 2 cycle oil is made to burn cleanly so to speak with less deposits left behind.

It won't hurt, but you could just use a quart of regular motor oil.

Acually its very good at least according to this independent test.
I use "Stanadyne Jr" but the 2 stroke is slightly better however the "Jr" is cheaper

I've poured into my tank for lubrication when running pump diesel; qt of new motor oil , qt of transmission fluid, qt of 2 cycle oil, gallons of filtered wmo, gallons of filtered transmission fluid, gallons of filtered synthetic wmo, gallons of 5 year old diesel, old and new gas, gear oil ,hydraulic fluid, and I'm sure some other stuff. You can use just about anything for lubrication. The deuce loves it!

I think you need to edit out part of your post. Running alternative fuel is one thing but I dont think the site wants to condone the use of illegal fuel.

I think the 2 stroke oil should burn cleaner , since it was desighned to be burnt , but any oil would be better than nothing .

The marine is probally the best , it is made for water cooled two strokes which run cooler than air cooled two strokes .

Only illegal for road use. Can burn anything offroad

I ran it in my 7.3 and I also run it in my deuce...that ULSD does nasty things to seals/gaskets

I usually mix it 1oz oil to 1 gal of diesel in my 7.3...in the deuce I just guess-ti-mate and dump it in the fuel tank lol
