Does anyone use anything else then straight diesel in this engine? Do you burn any mixture? Thanks

I have added a small amont of two stroke oil , but no ATF . In my opinion in small amounts ( 50 -1 ) you would be ok , but that is my opinion . I would not use even large amounts of oil in my multifuel . I also do not have access to large amounts of WMO , so I just prefer to add small amounts of oil to slowly get rid of what wmo I do obtain .


The above article in the link states up to 5% crankcase oil , but no hyd or ATF .

I run ATF in the Multi-Fuel no problem. I believe your system is designed for straight Diesel fuel. Ever think of a swap out..?

I never tried burning anything but diesel in my A3. I din't want to take the risk and ruin that expensive yeller motor. Get an A2 if you want to burn WMO

you could mess up the injectors with the ATF / OIL.

ATF by design is made to resist burning. Use ashless TC-3 2 stroke oil if you want some lube. I wouldn't mess with any mixtures like that in a heui injection engine. Multi fuels and idi engines sure, fill your boots. I do. But common rails, and heui engines. I wouldn't.

Splatterpillers like good clean diesel........I have added one quart of ATF per 100 gallons of diesel on Cummins and CATs back in the day of old school diesels.....nothing is more expensive than a sick puddy tat. These new electronic engines are particular about fuel.

I have run a 3116 over 25000 miles with 50 percent used motor oil with no problems. I mix it with diesel and then filter it to 5 microns. The only thing is it smokes a little getting up to speed and starts hard when it is cold out. I can not tell the differnce in the heat of the summer. This is a ideal engine for a fuel mix becauce it does not have any electonics and uses a supply pump.
