Big ol' post on keeping your diesel running cleanly...

IPA is OTC rubbing alcohol

I've been using 2 stroke oil in every tank diesel or veg. Vast improvement on diesel. Can't tell on veg. Not enough 100% wvo miles logged. Will know in August.

I have been playing with diesel kleen and ATF(cause its free) I run a 50/50 mix and put one cupish per tank. So far smooth starts, egts indicate an increase in BTU. Will continue with this thru the winter and see how she runs.

IPA=isopropyl alcohol

I thought the 2-stroke was only supposed to be used in the winter months, when the diesel changes to the winter "blend"?

Used more for lubrication of the injection system, added benefit is increased BTU

I just had my first oil change since I got the van. A bit late but got it done. The oil seemed thin and the filter came off only with a C clamp. I did not add anything to the crankcase and now I kinda wish I did. I'd like to clean the inside of the engine without any damage. Should I go for cold engine Seafom, IPA, (which I don't know where to find or how to ask about it) or Liqui Moly?

Also, I'm using Stanadyne on every tank. Just squirt a generous amount in the tank before fill ups. I just downloaded the .pdf from here http://www.delica.ca/forum/big-ol-post- ... 12355.html and am planning to research the lubrication aspect of it.

Does anybody add any additive to WVO or SVO?

Thanks.

Cheers,

I used Stanadyne for a while, but I didn't notice any benefit from that product. I have used 2 stroke in the past too. But I switched over Petrolabs a while ago and I have noticed a bit of an improvement wit start up and idling. Mind you, my van has always run really (knock on wood). But I do like the Petrolabs. A guy I worked with swore by Stanadyne for his big F two-fitty, fwiw.

Any recent comments on how well this is working?

I would like to do something like what is discussed in the thread.

I've been price checking IPA locally in Vancouver, and the price has gone up to $28+ for a jug. Going to try this experiment soon!

I used this for several fill ups and couldn't specifically notice much of a difference. I'm sure it works, and I will do this instead of seafoam, but my van still hesitates under throttle
