Adding 2-stroke oil to the Fuel >>>

[HammerDown]

I must say I'm really impressed how it quiets down the normal clicks and ticks of the 7.3 ...even on a dead cold engine.
Now if it could only add 10 mpg to the fuel economy I'd really be a happy camper.

i have herd of doing the same thing how much are u adding in ur tank

The oil probably retards the timing a little. Not necessarily a good thing, but I run a lot more than that in it, and it doesn't seem to suffer any.

i only put an oz per gallon of fuel and my truck runs way smoother, really quiets the engine down, scared to run more than that because of egt increases(however i wouldn't know if it would because my pyro is dead).

i just dump some in when i fill up along with some PS, never really mesured

I run the cheap Wal Mart 2 stroke stuff through mine. Also run it through the Powerstroke. If anything else I like it because I know it's helping keep the pump lubed & 2 stroke oil was made to be burned unlike used motor oil. Works as an anit gel too.

I run 20oz 2cycle mixed with 6oz Diesel Kleen. What I always wonder is if it mixes with the fuel or lays on the bottom of the tank. I put it in before I fill up but there is always fuel left in the tank so I wonder if the fuel going in is mixing with the additive completely.

Why would it "retard the timing"...because it's a tad thicker thus the injectors are opening a little late?
My engine really seems to like it, I don't notice it being doggy at all.

I've got 2 in the front tank, one seemed extremely diluted...time will tell.

I would guess that it burns a little slower than #2, although I have no facts to back that up. There has to be an explaination for your perception that it runs quieter, and the reality is most of that noise comes from burning fuel. I myself, do not notice a noise difference running streight #2 or a 50/50 mix of WMO.

Just make sure the 2 cycle oil you use is dyed blue, and not red.

i have a bunch of STIHL synthetic 2cycle oil will it burn the same?

 

[royzell]

I just mixed a gallon of leftover Mercruiser outboard oil in the rest of one of my tanks and it ran fine.

I think it quiets the injectors and probably burns a little smoother. Oil doesnt burn as "easily" as diesel fuel, so it probably does retard the timing ever so slightly.
