going back to your post to halfords it does look as if that is engine oil for 2 stroke engines and not 2 stroke oil for mixing 07my Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Baltic Blue,Privacy Glass,Ebony black leather,Land rover detachable towbar,S/S Side bars,Climair wind deflectors,Bramble Rash,

origan 2 stroke meets all the low ash content and jasco as the 2 stroke does not have a sump it must be for pre mix did you put it in first then add diesel or after you added your diesel if you put it in first it might have been at the bottom of the tank and not mixed at first and gone up to the injectors quite thick is it running at all ? 07my Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Baltic Blue,Privacy Glass,Ebony black leather,Land rover detachable towbar,S/S Side bars,Climair wind deflectors,Bramble Rash,

No not at all.

Added 330 ml to half a tank then went to fill it at my local morrisons about 1 mile away. took it for a five mile run,and knew it was not running right, quite lumpy.

Stopped it startedit then started it straight away.

left it half hour then no start.

Got the battery on charge currently just in case it takes a real good turning over to start it after its been drained and refilled.

Plan to get some redex injector cleaner in there tonight and take for another run after the tanks been drained.

maybe being so cold and oil being heavier it went to the bottom and got taken up the fuel line and in to the cylinders which would explain the rough running I hope you get it sorted 07my Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Baltic Blue,Privacy Glass,Ebony black leather,Land rover detachable towbar,S/S Side bars,Climair wind deflectors,Bramble Rash,

Exactly my thoughts...the thicker oil has settled at the bottom of the tank and it's been pumped through. Maybe for future you should pre mix half a gallon (2 .2 litres Embarassed ) in a gallon (4.55 litres Embarassed ) can.

It might take a while to crank the new fuel through to the injectors but I dont think it would do any long term damage after all it is only oil once cleared through might smoke for a little while but that should clear 07my Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Baltic Blue,Privacy Glass,Ebony black leather,Land rover detachable towbar,S/S Side bars,Climair wind deflectors,Bramble Rash,

Well guys, She's running like a champ again. Very Happy
It Would not run with any of the fuel in the tank so lost the full 70 litres.

I would like to say I had cracking service from a company called Dr Fuel.
would definately recomend them to anyone to use in miss fuelling situations, or situations like mine.
Cracking service Thumbs Up

Thanks again for your help tonight.

And please anyone reading this think carefully before adding anything to your fuel. Evil or Very Mad

I think to finish this thread off with a previous post of mine as this saga shows how it can go Wrong and could have been even more expensive

I have read the last posts with great interest! But one thing is irritating: even if you add a full litre of motor oil to your tank full of diesel the engine will normally start and not show the symptoms as reported by Boxer.
So something else must be the reason of the start-failure, such as clogged diesel filter or water deposits in the diesel tank. So please do not jump to the wrong conclusions. Mistaking 2T-oil with motor oil may happen, but does not have the negative effect as described if used in the small quantities as recommended for 2-T oil.
By the way: the European Fuel Board in Brussels have officially recommended the use of suitable 2-T oil as addition to the diesel as independent tests of DIN diesel fuel all over Europe have show that such diesel fuel did not have the properties as it should have under the DIN-standards, particularely not the lubrication properties.
A great blamage to the fuel industry and a great triumph to the 2-T oil user!
