2stroke oil?

[Deuce_and_a_Half_Dragon]

With the ULSD they have comming out of the pumps nowadays I was thinking of throwing in some marine 2 stroke to help the deuces injection pump a bit. Was wondering if there was any harm in this, I'd use normal 2 stroke, but it only comes in tiny bottles, marine comes in gallon jugs.

I also hear it masks that pesky red dye

Curious the thoughts on that myself. I had thought of using that as well when burning off old gas mixed in the tank.

I run it in mine for the same reason. I run about 100:1 mix. I doesn't seem to cause any extra smoke that I can tell and 2 cycle oil is made to burn cleanly so to speak with less deposits left behind.

It won't hurt, but you could just use a quart of regular motor oil.

Acually its very good at least according to this independent test.
I use "Stanadyne Jr" but the 2 stroke is slightly better however the "Jr" is cheaper

I've poured into my tank for lubrication when running pump diesel; qt of new motor oil , qt of transmission fluid, qt of 2 cycle oil, gallons of filtered wmo, gallons of filtered transmission fluid, gallons of filtered synthetic wmo, gallons of 5 year old diesel, old and new gas, gear oil ,hydraulic fluid, and I'm sure some other stuff. You can use just about anything for lubrication. The deuce loves it!

I think you need to edit out part of your post. Running alternative fuel is one thing but I dont think the site wants to condone the use of illegal fuel.

I think the 2 stroke oil should burn cleaner , since it was desighned to be burnt , but any oil would be better than nothing .

The marine is probally the best , it is made for water cooled two strokes which run cooler than air cooled two strokes .

Only illegal for road use. Can burn anything offroad

I ran it in my 7.3 and I also run it in my deuce...that ULSD does nasty things to seals/gaskets

I usually mix it 1oz oil to 1 gal of diesel in my 7.3...in the deuce I just guess-ti-mate and dump it in the fuel tank lol

We may need clarification/definition of "Legal Fuel".

Just ask your local DOT inspector.



I didnt want to start a p***ing match here.
With a wink and a nod we all know what he's talking about.
Do it if you want to, its your choice to break the law, just dont brag about it.

A blenders permit would make it all nice and leagal.

 

[patracy]

1oz to 1 gal is a great ratio for 2 stroke oil.

 

[KsM715]

A blenders permit will allow you to blend off road diesel with taxed diesel and run it on the road?

 

[WillWagner]

A qt of ATF in the tank does the same thing. I know, now it's red. As long as you aren't commercial, you are OK.

 

[p3amea6]

Walmart sells 2 Cy. oil in gallon jugs ,I run 1 qu. in 10 Gal . I can hear the difference .

Why would you worry about masking it then?

Running dyed untaxed fuel on-road is tax evasion and will get you hefty fines if caught. It doesn't matter if you are commercial or not. It's the same thing as not paying your income taxes.

I guess it's possible if you fill out the forms and pay the tax on the dyed fuel. But then what's the point.
