Not bother as it will likely sit on the top of the tank once it flows down the filler neck. Best to add before as forcing the fuel in at a good rate washes it off the filler neck and adds it into the mix as good as mixing it in tubs before pouring in Smile

If I forget to put it in before, I drop it in afterwards. Once it's made its way down the neck all the sloshing around is going to get it mixed in IMO. Thumbs Up

400ml


£120 = 85lt approx, 85lt @ 1:200 ratio of 2T = 420ml. Seems about right to me Thumbs Up

I added some 2SO as recommended - I keep thinking I can smell a fumey smell now in the car. Silly question but does adding 2SO make the exhaust fumes more smelly !!?

(No noticeable effect on performance or fuel economy so far)

Red stuff

I wouldn't use red 2 stroke in case you get checked for red diesel! sorry if someone pointed this out already, I've skipped a few posts!

The red two stroke oil will make absolutely no difference what so ever if you get stopped for a fuel check! Red diesel actually has a dye in it that will dye the tank and even the filler neck. They will know as soon as they extract some that it isn't red diesel. Adding two stroke oil is not illegal either.

Even if you do get tested you'll have nothing to worry about...as long as you aren't using red diesel.
