Diesel clean and 2 qu. Walmart 2 strok oil per tank of fuel

Do you use 2 quarts per tank fill?? I've seen on here that some people put oil in their fuel. What is the purpose of this?

 

[Shop Rat Fab]

I put oil in mine so I buy less fuel and recycle it but here in Michigan I'm done now due to cool weather setting in. I only mix oil in the summer months by running 1/4 oil per 3/4 of fuel but friend of mine went 50/50 this year. I filter it though an old pair of jeans with the leg tied in a knot and let it seep through into a 5gal bucket.

 

[NICK_M1009]

So you can use any oil? What are people using 2 cyle oil for? Using oil gives you better MPG? Sorry for the noob questions...

 

[fantastico]

From my understanding, using old filtered oil does nothing for MPG, BUT cuts down on the cost per gallon. SO, if you do 50/50, it cuts the cost in half, granted you get the used oil for free. Used motor oil is UMO. Make more sense? PLUS, most say it quiets the engine down too.

 

[NICK_M1009]

Ahhhh, I get it now. Fuel is just being replaced with oil. One more question. I got probly 8, five quart jugs of used oil from GAS motors. Will that work?

 

[fantastico]

YES, oil is oil, for the most part. Filter it to get the big stuff out, id find a way to get the metal flecks out as well, and stick it in. Check your filters on the engine too. This is my understanding of it. others may be able to direct you more.

 

[Shop Rat Fab]

Yes it will work, I use the oil from my hot rod, 4 wheelers, trans fluid, and my 09.

It also acts as a lube for the injection pump being the deisel of today has none or less!

Diesel 911 every six months or so to keep water out.

 

[mikes47jeep]

on the 2 cycle for lube for the injector pump

Sulfur is cheaper and it is what is missing from the fuel. Just put a table spoon in the filler neck and fill up!

 

[usmc_05]

From what i understand, when gas stations started using "highway diesel" at the pump with lower sulfer and all that crap, it had less lubrication properties as the regular diesel did. So in adding oil to your highway diesel fuel you are adding that lubricating property back into your fuel.

 

[rnd-motorsports]

usmc_05 you are correct. The older stuff still need the lube!
