VP racket

SO I have been experimenting with a few lubes for the ULSD lately and have decided that B5 added to my tank at about 5 gallons to every 25 results in a much quieter vp44.

I re-reviewed the lubricity studies I had bookmarked from the past and ran ashless 2-stroke at a quart a tankful, noticed the same result as B5. However, I have a convenient supplier for B5 and don't need to restock the 2-stroke. Apparently my PS Silver or White bottle ranks pretty low on the scale for added lubricity even though it claims to help...

Any thoughts?

I use this TDR-WDA : Amalgamated, Inc. learned about it years ago when the tdr mag had an article about it been using it ever since. No gells or freezes so far down to -29f. While I understand you are talking about lubricity I have found it quiets my vp as well. I see that you may spend time in Kalispell if in the winter I might be leary of 5% bio in cold temps but otherwise heck yeah it is supposedly one of the best lubes out there.
