Bear in mind YF only pops in when she's not driving her Merc so it can be a little delay in reply Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis |

Besides the positive impact on pollution-control, I would choose the low sulphor diesel PLUS recommended dosis of proper 2-T oil. In the sum of its effects this combination is the "better" fuel, as sulphor has negative effects on the motor oil and cleanliness of the engine in general.

To all interested: besides driving my Mercedes GLK 320 cdi Automatic with adding 2-T oil from day one, I now also test-drive for three months a 2010 facelift-model Nissan Qashqai dCi 2,0 litre Tecna Automatic in Titanium metallic. Adding 2-T oil here from day one is a "MUST" (although not "approved" by Nissan), and I will report my findings from time to time. Funny enough, it seems that I prefer the Qashqai over the GLK, as the Qashqai is much more compact and easier in the City. Acceleration, riding comfort, engine noise, suspension etc. is more or less equal to the GLK, so I am very surprised of the qualities of the Qashqai (made in UK), besides the huge price differerence over the GLK.

Yes, I have. But I am not authorized to make them public. Read the technical publication from Prof. Dr. Mayering: Fuels and additives.

Why? Is this such a secret? Because people knows and are adding 2T to diesel for such a long time now... Even biodiesel is a kinda burning oil (mono-alkyl ester). And more and more the biodiesel is mixed with low sulfur diesel. Biodiesel has better lubricating properties and much higher cetane ratings than today's lower sulfur diesel fuels. Biodiesel addition reduces fuel system wear, and in low levels in high pressure systems increases the life of the fuel injection equipment that relies on the fuel for its lubrication. Depending on the engine, this might include high pressure injection pumps, pump injectors (also called unit injectors) and fuel injectors. Source: Wikipedia. For example, in my country the biodiesel is mixed with low sulfur diesel in 5% ratio (B5) at fuel stations. And it helps lubrication almost as 2T oil... So, in the end, why the secrecy, when alternatives are appearing at the horizon, because it isn't such a rocket science... |

Concerning the bio-diesel it is good to know that it is "healthy" for the fuel system. But another question mark is biodiesel's winter-characteristics. I am not sure that viscosity thresh-hold would be the same compared to the "normal" diesel. Especially, if we got a harsh one like the last winter |

If I understand YF's status correctly, as a "Rechtsanwältin" (female Lawyer) in Germany working directly or indirectly in the oil industry it is most probably incumbent upon her that she discharges her client duties under binding non-disclosure agreements.

I don't doubt her finding posted she is obviously very knowledgable in the field of 2T oil Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis |

What I can't understand is that someone (in this case YF) joins a forum, makes a claim about something and nobody questions it.

i know what your saying, but plenty of people seem to benefit from the additional time spent pouring other stuff than diesel into there tanks, i suppose like most things the very 1st every person to think of adding 2T was taking a risk

I am one of those benefiting from YF advice. And I am very thankful to her for the time and energy invested in this and similar threads on 2-t-oil. 12 000 km on the clock of my FL and every fuel tank with a good dose of 2-t-oil. Thus, it is up to you: take it or leave it |
