I have been reading about adding 2 stroke oil to the diesel tank and the benefits to both engine life and maybe fuel consumption. It has been mentioned on here and via a link to a Freelander site where it has been discussed at length. It sounds like it should work and I cannot see that it would harm the engine in any way, however what effect would it have on the FBH in a Disco3?? Any ideas, has anyone tried it?? 8)

And the smell will be somewhere between chainsaw and a "twist-n-go" Rob Smith

I read a bit about this on American sites and would say the jury is still out.
I'd like to try it but it's the matter of not finding out about some consequential harm until 30k too late.

Its better if I remain silent and be thought a fool than to open my mouth and confirm it.

I'm not brave enough either. I'll stick to adding Millers to my cheap supermarket diesel.

This has been discussed on here before - Crews Control was going to try it out and report back I think
[quote="IKke"]On freel2.com they are adding 2-stroke oil to diesel. The oil reacts with the diesel to improve it. The gaines here are better lubrication, cleaner combustion and a MPG improvement of 3-5%.

2-stroke oil and diesel
To all interested:
due to the pollution control measures of the EC diesel-oil is nearly sulphur free and contains up to 5% of bio-diesel. Sulphur has the property to grease the high pressure injection pump and the injectors. Without sulphur, the reduced greasing property of the new diesel has already shown negativ impacts on the long-term stability of the injectors and the high pressure pump. The pump manufacturers have tried to react by lining the moving parts of the pumps with teflon or other suitable material. However, the long term stability is still not achieved as with the old (sulphor contained) diesel.
The engine-research centre of a well known German car manufacurer has conducted some long term tests of diesel additives to find out whether any one of them will have an impact on the long term reliability of the diesel engine components. This introduction to explain were my information comes from.
The results of this research: any diesel additive of any manufacturer presently on the market is not worth the money!
BUT: 2-stroke oil, which we use in our motor saws, lawn mower or in 2-stroke motor engines has shown to have an extreme positive impact on diesel engines, if such 2-stroke oil is added to the diesel in a homoeophatic dosis of 1:200. In practical terms: 0,300 litre of 2-stroke oil into the 70l diesel tank. The 2-stroke oil will be absorbed by the diesel (emulsion) and grease every moving part of the high pressure pump and the injectors.
Besides this, the 2-stroke oil will keep the diesel engine clean, as it burnes cleaner as the diesel itself.
In other words, the 2-stroke oil has a much lower ash-content as diesel, when burned. This proven fact delays the DPF (diesel particulate (soot) filter) to clogg, and the "burn free" process of the DPF will be much less.
One more information: in Germany we have to present our cars every 2 years to the TUV -Technical Supervision Organisation - who will check, amongs others, the pollution of petrol and diesel engines.
The measured cloud-factor of a diesel engine without use of 2-stroke oil has been 0,95.
The same factor with the use of 2-stroke oil has been 0,47 - reduction of nearly half of the soot particles.
Besides this, the use of 2-stroke oil in the diesel will increase the milage by 3-5%.

I have put castrol R in a petrol in my younger days to get the rally car smell.

Yamaha-Fan on freel2.com comes across as somebody with very good knowledge when it come to this subject and other oil related things
if in doubt ask, as Yamaha-Fan will answer do his best to answer them

Just to say, I still haven't tried it yet. I was definitely going too... and then read another report about potential damage to injectors on more modern cars? Bottled it for the moment until I can get better advice.

Google Translate came up with:
Sale bot program that will help you outwit and win the auction, originally created for the Scandinavian boat auction xxxxxxxxxxxxxx but now the program can work with similar auctions: gagen ru, vezetmne ru and more with a dozen.
Program-bot makes bid for you, ie You do not need to constantly sit at the monitor. Bota, you can specify the time when you want to bet, so you maximize minimiliziruete cost rates, and maximize their chances of winning.
Me thinks our russian comrade is on the wrong site, or using some complex KGB code Cheers Ian

I used 2 stroke in my car, and I did notice a difference. Gave me an extra 3mpg, was slightly quieter and smoother at idle, and cleared up all the smoke coming out the back. Back of the car even stayed cleaner for longer
