Paddy Fusion Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Has anyone heard of, or tried adding a small quantity of mineral 2 stroke oil to a tank full of diesel? Apparently it helps clean out the fuel system and gives a small increase in economy and aids smother running. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 This subject is as old as time itself & there are pro's & con's associated with it - allegedly Adding two stroke will make the engine quieter but unless it's low ash it'll clog the DPF sooner rather than later I see no valid reason to do it with a modern diesel The car & engine manufacturers do not recommend it on a modern diesel Each to their own though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently it helps clean out the fuel system and gives a small increase in economy and aids smother running. First i recommend blanking the EGR valve in Diesel engines to prevent carbon from caking up the oil sump.Guide blanking 1.4 and 1.6TDCi here: http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/42915-guide-fitting-egr-blanking-plate-16tdci-engine/ then to eliminate contamination from the oil sump and help things run smoother; I recommend purchasing 5 litres of cheap oil say Halfords brand for example. drain existing oil put cheap oil in, Followed by a bottle of Xado Total Flush run engine for 20 minutes, Then drain the oil fill up with Castrol brand engine will run smoother, Also use Xado Multi Cleaner prior to having fuel filter changed the stuff really makes a difference. the active egr circulates a lot of carbon into the oil It won't after blanking but you need to flush out what is in there caked on the cam shaft and inside turbo. Carbon in the engine is like cholesterol in the Human body intead of blocking arteries to the heart; it blocks up the oil feed to the turbo. Here are links to purchase the above items; Since sterling is very strong compared to euro at present it's 5 pounds cheaper per bottle to purchase from Xado Ireland Total Flush (for oil) Link: http://www.xadoireland.ie/miscellaneous/atomex-totalflush MultiClean (For Diesel tank) Link: http://www.xadoireland.ie/fuel-additives/atomex-multi-cleaner-diesel An upgrade induction filter which replaces the stock filter and fits in the stock airbox will also increase mpg as well as smoother running and lasts three times longer than the life of a standard induction filter.
