PSA wanted to use a LOWER quality oil in the DW12 Engine....Ford inisted in the better quality, as it increased MPG (Amongst other things) Some of the information you have there is not "Correct" '57 FL2 GS Sumatra Blk, Tints, Winterpack, Dodgylooking TowBar, roof rails, Front & Rear LED Indicators, Clear Side repeaters(Led), LED Rear Position/Brake lights, Additional Power-point in the boot & Brighter luggage Illumination fitted |

Goldstone69: I am not allowed to detail the legal reasons but think of warranty issues between part manufacturer and car manufacturer.

Thanks for the reply i will probably wait until reports are published and research a bit more myself before adding any 2-stroke to the diesel. I`m sure you will keep us updated on any new developments. GS69 |

One quick addition: if we speak of 2-stroke oil to be added to the diesel fuel it MUST be a 2-stroke oil of low ash content, such as Liqui Moly No. 1052 (1 liter bottle) or Meguin semi synthetic. NEVER use fully synthetic 2-stroke oil, besides the cost). 2-stroke oil has very similar chemical properties as diesel oil, and this is the reason why diesel and 2-stroke oil do not mix but compound (if I have used the right word). Once diesel and 2-stroke oil have chemically compounded, you cannot seperate them again.

I think in the UK if you got stopped in a Highways Agency roadside check you might also have a problem with the Revenue Man if you added 2 stroke oil to diesel They used to get very worked up if you added winter additive to prevent waxing of diesel How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?

Tim, if I understand correctly from what YF says, 2-stroke oil cannot be traced in diesel as it desolves (or something like that). I guess if 2-stroke oil has so much to offer to your car (reliability, cleaner burning, better consumption) with no harm done, then why not use it? I wander what additives diesel plus/extra/etc (which is more expensive) has? It could be a 1/200 portion of 2-stroke oil... |

Yes it has and yes the vehicle inspectorate are ruthless in trying to track misuse, because people who use tax free fuel (Red Diesel) have been trying to fleece the tax payers here by using fuel meant for tractors and fishing boats in their cars or worse, selling it! There is hardly a week goes by (especially on market days!) when the inspectors are not stopping any vehicle that might be a farm vehicle and taking fuel samples. If the government reduced the taxation on fuel then people wouldn't need to defraud the revenue! How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?

But if you are stopped - then your fuel will not be red anyway.

Well, what Tim says is correct. The same in Germany, as diesel fuel used by the farming-industry or in any household as fuel for their central heating is reduced in tax. So what they do to identify this "reduced tax fuel" is to color it red. Even the slightest hint of this read color in your diesel car tank will bring you in trouble with regard to tax evasion.
