I was looking on Amazon. They have some on there, I was looking as some 1 qt 12 packs, but they are like $50. Does that seem right? I'm new to the 2 stroke world, but the logic is sound to me.

Price. 2 stroke lubricates Diesel Kleen cleans and boosts cetane also.

It does. That's why I said "also" but I can see your confusion from my wording.

I would go light on the HYD oil as it has additives to stand higher preasures that won't burn. I had a problem with a lot of carbon build up around the holes on the injectors on a roller to the point that it would not pull the load. I am sure we had more HYD oil transfer than you are useing. I use walmart 2 cycle.

I am sure you can run much more than that if you wanted... I know of people that are running 50/50 used oil and diesel year round. In the summer they only run about 20% diesel, the other is either used oil or trans fluid....
I don't do it, maybe if I had to buy my own fuel it would be worth a try for me. I have used diesel klean before, frankly I didn't see or feel a difference, I do put it in my back storage tank to help keep it stabilized and good from time to time. I do it less often now as I fill both of my trucks out of the back tank and fill it up when the price is good to keep it rotated and good. I have let it sit up to a year with DK in it before, back when i only drove my cummins for 2k last year... i drive it more often now, like on weekends.
I guess you are using the 2 stroke more as a lubricity additive then as a fuel, I know the state of Az is cracking down on "illegal fuels" at the last training I was at they had signs up all over about it.... and how to turn people in. I just laughed and kept walking. To me it sounded like it was all about them not getting their cut of the fuel tax.
