Best off the shelf engine cleaner fuel additive? by taylor6632 on Wed Mar 20, 2013 7:04 pm
Which engine cleaners are the best for adding to the fuel?

I've been told molyslip all the way for oil in different parts of the truck but wondering about the fuel stuff.

In the fuel I use 250ml of mineral 2 stroke oil per 80l tank.

It helps.
The 2.8 and older designed diesel engines where designed to run on fuel with sulphur in as lubrication for the pump but new emission rules phased out most of the sulphur in fuels years ago and replaced them with other additives. Adding the 2 stroke quietens the pump down and does clean the system out a bit and can occasionally return better mph ever so slightly.

As long as its mineral and not synthetic it should be fine, I use Asdas oil :lol:

Could i do the same in the 2.2DTI? Or will the less agricultural engine not like it?
