this is new to me. are you guys or gals running two stroke in your fuel to make up for lube loss from the refinery? i've been using standyne fuel treatment to keep inj pump happy.. if that what the 2strk is for then what ratio per gal???

I put a quart or two of two stroke oil in a full tank when filling up most the time, in my truck it seems to help it idle smoother and less engine noise. My lift pump is 10x quieter with a little help of two stroke in the fuel also.

 

I run half a quart per tank (and PS white), and notice the quieter smoother run. Maybe its even quieter if i add a full quart?!

 

techinically you dont need it with the p7100 as its lubricated by the engines oil....


but i do notice when running on WVO (waste veggy oil) that my truck runs a little bit quieter.

 

yes? u called?

 

I once thought about running 2 stroke oil, but I thought, No.
Just buy the cheap non detergent, not synthetic, and throw a quart in the tank whenever you fuel up.
Quiets it down, and only costs less than a $1.00 at Dollar General.
If I had the money and it got really cold where I live, I would get the Power Service.
Wheelo

 

The P7100 plungers and barrels are lubricated by Diesel fuel - the cam and lower plungers are lubricated by engine oil.

The VP44 rotor, head, and plungers are lubricated solely by Diesel fuel.

2-stroke oil is insurance.

 

I mix it with PS, 1/3 oil to 2/3 PS in a qt bottle, and add 1/2 of that at fill, usually around 1/2 a tank. I don't like it to get lower than 1/2 in the winter.
Does run quieter, smoother, especially cold.

 

im with weelo90. i've been using super cheap oil where ever you can find it.

 

I like to buy the ashless TC-W3 2 stroke @ wally world . Yes it is 2 bux a quart instead of $1. At one quart a tank and about 600 miles a tank I would save 4 dollars every 2400 miles. 2 stroke oil is made to burn. I'll spend an extra 4 bucks. However, that being said, years ago while logging we would just mix our chevron oil (paper sides, metal top, quite a while ago) for our chain saws and worked fine. Either way, cheap oil or cheap 2 stroke, you can't go wrong for the lubrication, IMO.
