I just talked to my brother, a huge diesel nut and he said he was reading in Diesel Power about these older diesel engines and todays fuels.
Seems they tried a real world trial and ran an older diesel truck for two weeks or so and got a good average for fuel mileage.
Then they added the cheapest Walmart brand 2-stroke oil @ 200:1 and saw a mile per gallon increase in both city and highway driving.
Next they tried some cetane booster with the same results, a mile per gallon increase over base line. (Make sure you follow recomendations on the bottle)
Next they tried a product that has both cetane and some sort of oil in it and got a 3 MPG increase over base.
Anyone tried this or read the article?
Could one put both 2-stroke oil and cetane booster in and get some added power and MPG?
