anybody using this for carburetor and upper cylinder lube? It seems many are using it and there is much written on it by experts in the field. http://www.ls1.com/forums/f48/been-testing-oil-91206/ |

Common to use in early Cummins engines to make up for the "dry" Diesel that is supplied now.

yes I use it in my powerstroke. many report a consistent 1-2 mpg gain also and there was a diesel additive test which showed the same. the link is about using it in gasoline engines also but a reduced dose compared to diesels. I've been looking for a gasoline high temperature lubricate for carburetors and upper cylinder and it seems I've found it.  some are posting that it also stabilizes the ethanol fuel also. |

Years ago, I asked a guy who owned a motorcycle repair shop about using "stabil". He answered "don't know about Stabil, but I do a lot of carburetor work on ATV's, but seldom work on carbs on dirt bikes". He suggested using 2 stroke oil as a stabilizer in the winter. I used two stroke oil in the winter in the full gas tank for probably five years, never had a problem. Bikes would start fine and run fine in the spring, no smoke etc. Last few years I have been using Seafoam, but I think the two stroke oil does work. Never had a problem with the weed eater or blower leaving the two stroke gas in them over the winter.

I’ve been adding 2oz. of TC-W3 oil per 5 gallons of gas in my older bikes for a while now. The goal is to enhance top end lubrication and to diminish some of the harmful effects of ethanol. How well it works only time will tell. I do believe it will enhance the resistance to rust susceptibility of the exhaust as some of the unburned oil will precipitate out in the pipes and baffles and coat the walls. I see no difference in performance, positive or negative.

My issue with gas additives has always been the containers leaking in my bags  I'm going to give this a try with these. https://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=42039They seem to have good positive caps that hopefully won't fall off.  Plus I can measure out an once at a time. Researching the price and availability of TC-W3 oil, Super-Tech and Pennzoil seem easiest to get and the least expensive. Can't believe the difference in prices, from $13.00 to $80.00+ per gal. |

When adding oil to the fuel tank ,as it passes thru the main jets and displaces the amount of fuel the jets can pass. I ran into this with my H2 drag bike when I switched it to premix from oil injection. Oil injected into the cylinder dose not pass thru the main jets as it will when added to the fuel . Just FYI.

I have been getting a consistent increase of two MPG using this additive.

How did you measure to get that number? |
