Knowing 2 cycle is for lubrication and does not boost the cetane rating should you also add a cetane booster such as Diesel Power or something similar with the 2 cycle?

Thanks, David

 

I have done it before. I plan to do it again as soon as soon I get some more 2 cycle oil.

 

DK already increases lubricity, and adds cetane. No reason for adding both IMHO.

 

Yeah, I usually either do one or the other, not both.

 

I give my truck a cocktail of DK and 2 cycle oil.2/3 oil 1/3 DK

 

i have been adding dk and 2cyl to every tank for 1.5 years so far

 

What are the benefits of adding 2 cycle oil to your fuel?
Thanks,
Ron W.

 

Ron, it adds lubrication to the low sulphur diesel they sell now.

 

Thanks for the info, but what is the advantage over a fuel additive such as DK or something like that? I could see maybe being cheaper, but not sure. Also, how much do you add per tank?
Thanks,
Ron

 

Ron, here is a ton of info that will better explain it than I can. Hope you find it useful.

I like the motorcraft diesel additive

 

I use a product called Soy shield. Does both

Now you've peaked my interest! Tell me more, how do you like it, what did you notice about it that made a difference if anything, how long have you been using it? Thanks Walt

 

I don't really notice much of a difference, but i never really paid much attention. Been using it off and on for a few years. Cost around 25 for a gallon, the gallon is good for 500 gallons so I use about 8 ounces per tank (36 gallon tank) So it works out to around 2 dollars per tank. It could be freeking snake oil too! At 2 bucks a tank it can't hurt anything
