Ah. I had heard they could take your car away and crush it. Maybe he bribed them with free chickens for life?

Hi wizking

had a look at that site. Looks interesting and promising. I would recommend to use this once and then use 0.5% 2sO with every tank full. This will prevent the buildup of new carbon.  With kind regards

I have been using the 2 stroke oil since I got the car last year, and was one of the lucky ones who noticed results almost immediately.

Poddible word of warning, my mate used to add a 2 stroke mix to his diesel tank but the oil was red! He had his tank dipped one day by a roadside check and he wasd suspected of using red diesel! Took a long time to sort that one out! Apparently some heatinf fuels use a green dye just similar to some 2 strkoe oils ! Be carefull !

Hi all

Discogeorge is coming back for one last 2sO posting. We have had heated debates on this forum, all sorts of views were expressed.

But facts speak louder than a thousand words.

You will all remember that YF stated the cleaning effect of Jaso-FC compliant 2sO. Now here is the ultimate and totally unrefutable proof.

I embarked yesterday to relieve my wife's 2005 Disco3 TDV6's of its EGR system. Mainly because it has a choking effect on the breathing of the engine. This vehicle has been running on 2sO since last year, after the previous owner had a whopping repair of new CRD pump and new injectors due to lack of lubricity of the diesel. That vehicle got stuck in Botswana and came back to Johannesburg on a lowbed rig.

Here is a link to the installation instructions of the kit from Bell Autoservices.

Have a look at the condition of the EGR pipes protruding into the intake air tract.

And here below are the ones coming out of our Disco.

not only what CG says, but the BAS ones could have been in since 2005, yours since last year if they was replaced or cleaned at the time of the rebuild to engine after the failed CRD Pump

but thanks for posting more pic's I'm sure they help some readers  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Hi npinks

that gunk you see on the bell info takes only about a week to accumulate. You should have seen the sh?t that came out of my Disco1's intake manifold and that car was only used for trips in excess of 200mls at a time (holiday car).

The manifold on my Disco1 needed chemical cleaning. But since I drive that car (65000km, it looks like the EGR pipes from my wife's Disco3.  With kind regards

Hi folks,

I thought the post (a reliable source) from a 4x4 forum in Oz, in another "2 stroke in your diesel" thread. may be of interest:

[QUOTE=jeffs5;604738]
89 GQ Nissan Patrol , had since new. TD42 Non Turbo.
Tested compression at 50,000 km intervals, Now on 310,000 km's, The 250,000 km test showed a low No. 4. cylinder Later I started using 2 stroke, Castrol Active 2T for motorcycles, 200:1 Ratio.

At around 290,000 K's. After 2nd tank noticed, quieter engine, less smoke on start up and at night putting the foot down a bit with lights behind.
Done mileage tests over the next few tanks, same BP Pump too! Economy went from 13-14L 100 km's to 11-12L 100 km's around town. Highway even better.
One trip down south filled to the spout and ended up right on 100 km's at a BP , filled back to the spout and used 8.8 liters!! Each trip is different though, road conditions, speed etc. Also engine has a bit more Zing!

This compression test, all cylinders up around 2825-2850 KPa! Where the 250,000 km test had No. 4 down at around 2550 KPa. Stayed at that after adding a little oil into the chamber, meaning valves sticky, burnt, not seating properly or head gasket blown. Ruled out head gasket and lived with it.

So my only reasoning for the No. 4 to be back up is the 2 Stroke must burn or clean the fuel system and to go as far as remove deposits from the valves etc. I'm sticking with it for the rest off The old girls life, which should easily be another 300,000 km's. Or the doors will fall off before the mighty TD42 stops.[/QUOTE]

Improved compression!! Thanks again Yamaha Fan.

Hi Ozie

thanks for sharing this info with us. For once a posting with some useful information.

To answer your question regarding the improved compression of number 4 cylinder. That is actually very easy to explain. The incomplete combustion of pure diesel fuel will build up over time carbon deposits around the ring grooves. This effectively prevents the rings from moving in the grooves and this is what then lowers the compression. By adding 2sO with its detergent's cleaning properties, this will remove (over time) the carbon deposits and the rings can then move again and seal much better.  With kind regards

Thanks George, will pass the info on.

I thought it was great news, going beyond what I expect from 2sO, being lub. to the fuel pump.

Hi Ozie

yeah there are a few of us posting useful info here, compared to some of the BS waffling that is going on here

Good luck! With kind regards
