I'm not 100% sure that it did mine, or that my fiter's were even clogged. I won't know until I drive the truck after changing the filter's. But it seem's like I started having a rough idle, loss on power, and a dramatic drop in mpg about 1000 mile's after starting the 2 stroke deal.

Just wondering if anyone had problem's. Or, any other idea's what could be wrong. Thank's.

 

I've been running 2 stroke oil for over 65000 miles with a 2 micron fuel filter and I haven't had any issues. Maybe you got a bad load of fuel from a station.

 

I've been running 2 stroke for 30k miles, with no problems, how much are you putting in?

 

Running TCW3 for several years now and recently started using the Baldwin 5 micron fuel filters. No problems to report.

no problems here either.

 

I always dump the oil in just before I insert the nozzle for fueling. That way it gets mixed up good while fueling up. Never had any problems so far.

Not trying to chage the subject, but I have searched for the Baldwin 5 micron fuel filter ( I assume that it works in the OEM filter housing) and have not found where to purchase it. Any suggestions?

 

I was using 1oz. per gal. And, putting the oil in first, then the fuel. Like I said,,I wasn't 100% sure it was the oil causing the problem. I just drove 300 mile's and got alot better mpg. I think it was the filter, but who's to say if the oil was the blam. I'll try the oil again. If it happens again, guess I'll know.

 

It's not the 2-stroke! 2-stroke is designed to mix with fuel, even if you put in 1st there is enough fuel in the tank to delute it were it wouldn't flow full strength through the pick-up into the filter. I've been running 2-stroke for 3+ years with nothing but positive results. You have a better chance of getting bad fuel to plug the filter then the 2-stroke.

 

Here's where I bought mine.

So could ya all explain for a Noob what two stroke (synthetic? or what kind) does for you?

Think it would screw up a 6.7?

Thanks

 

They are talking about conventional TCW-3 two stroke oil added to the fuel to lubricate the injector pump.

And NO I dont think you would want to use it in a 6.7.

 

I've been adding 16oz at each fill up for at least 4 months and have had zero issue with doing so.

I'm NOT prepared to say it does or doesn't help mileage. I can't see any trend in my 'book' of fuel data.

I AM prepared to say that I don't worry about getting a 'dry' load of ULSD!!! And that my pump gets lubricated better by using it!!!

 

I've got over 30K miles using in my 2nd Gen Truck now... Still getting good MPG and HP/TQ numbers...

I'm also mixing at 128:1 ratio (1 oz of oil to 1 gallon of fuel).

 

I too have been mixing at 16 to 20 oz. of TC-W3 per tank(roughly 30 gals) and have not seen any lack in performance. Truck is fairly new to me though.
