Additives in the fuel

[Kevin 007]

Im now sold on a 5 or 10% bio blend for lubricity. I don't do it to be green or cheap, these are just a bonus. Im only concerned about lube as I have gone through too many IP's in these rigs.
The idi that im driving now, just came into my possesion a few months ago and will be getting new return lines and a racor water seperator with a 30 micron filter in spring. I will be using bio for sure once that is done but until then Im using Howes. Thats what I have always used, having said that....I've gone though my share of IP's while using the stuff. And im not cheap with it, I pour that stuff in.

No one here uses the Stanadyne Performance Additive? I do. I buy a case every year from Taylor Diesel and I've never HAD to put an IP or injectors in any of my IDI's ever. Never had a gelling problem either.
I figure if Stanadyne made our original parts then they must be making an additive that keeps their stuff alive...................

Ya someone said they did. Its probably the most expensive stuff to run unless im mistaken which is likely.

If I were to buy it, I would be buying the lubricity formula. We got a real issue on our hands with ULSD.

Biod is the best. Run as much as you can in the warmer temps. If its real cold maybe #1 diesel and a gallon of biod.

is this the bio diesel at the fuel pump or is it an aditive that you add?

its whats at the pump.

my front tank is B100 baby! i start and stop on it. Rear tank is a cocktail.

Is bio really all the hype there is about it?
I've been wanting to run it. But there's no pumps near me that I know of

does the bio help with mpg enough to offset the extra cost? around me bio is a good 70-80 cents higher than regular #2.

No, i noticed a worse mileage on 4 tanks I ran.

 

[gdhillon]

does to much 2stroke oil have negative effect.........im guessing the answer is no but i dont want to risk effing anything up

 

[itsacrazyasian]

BioDiesel. Even Stanadyne recommends it!

so long as its actually processed biodiesel. not unfiltered wvo.


I doubt that too much 2 stroke will hurt. I mean you're not dumping in a gallon per tank here.

 

[Kevin 007]

I have noticed better smileage with bio. I hear it has oxygen within its molycules so that would likely be the reason why.

 

[dakotajeep]

The vast majority of people do not see mileage improvements.

Its all how you use your rig though....if you care I can elaborate.
