Having recently read of the use of 2-stroke oil in diesel to lubricate the injectors and pump, I thought I would give it a try in my old beasty. This will be a running diary of how it all goes, for those interested.
First, some background on the old girl.
TD42 with aftermarket turbo fitted from new. Mack style alloy bar, standard suspension and 31's. No other major mods. She has not been particularly well looked after, even since I have owned her the last nearly two years,(thanks to me being made redundant a month after I bought her and spending the next year and a half out of work. Still trying to get my head back above water) She still goes like a freight train though, and I use her to run up and down the freeway to work evry day, as well as general running around. She is a bit hard to start when warm (have not beeen able to figure that one out yet?) I have noticed a small amount of smoke under power, only at night with another car's lights behind me. I am currently using about 11.55 litres/ 100 kms. That is with an eggshell under the throttle pedal and angel-ing down hills.(don't know if this is good or bad, but I try everything I can to keep the costs down) I cruise the freeway at 100k's as this saves me about $20 a week on fuel on it's own, as opposed to keeping up to the limit.
