I add the suggested amount of Diesel Kleen (White in winter, Grey in Summer) AND 1 oz/Gallon "ashless" 2 cycle oil every time I fill up.

She loves it!

I have triple-dosed it and short of slightly better mileage, no side effects I noticed.

I have poured Diesel Kleen into the fuel bowl undiluted before to try and clean up a bad set of injectors. It doesn't run the best, but it didn't seem to make anything any worse. I have heard from several guys that they top off the fuel bowl with the stuff undiluted after they change the fuel filter.

I'm running the Redline additive on one of my tanks and had recently wondered if ashless two-stroke oil would mix happily with the diesel/additive, et.

any ideas?

Just two-cycle oil every fill up. I add straight alcohol in the winter if it's really cold. Much cheaper
