Diesel Additive

[clemsonfor]

I have posted that link several times myself in the past. Who says the amount of lube from the refinery is not enough? Injection pumps fail from dirt or water, not lube failure . Additives won't stop gasket and elastomer failures which normal pump failure and not related to lubrication of the elements . Some is good and more is better does not always apply.
Some people just can't help themselves. They have thier superstitions about ladders, lotteries and additives . They look upon it as a small cost as a way to win big.

I was a diesel mechanic starting in the 60's, I owned and worked on many MB diesels. We had trouble with more than normal noise in the mid-70's, MB came out with what they called a whispers nozzle, I started putting those in and always set the injectors to the maxium recomended pressure. They a made big difference, the thing was the north American fuel was different than the euro-fuel. Having put them in my personal 75 240d I noticed that after 40,000 miles they were getting noisy again and power was reduced. I bought the additive from Texas Refinery called Dieselene, after a few hundred miles it was running like the nozzles were new again. I still drive the MB diesels today.

I have a 35 year old Japanese tractor with old technology. There is no way the fuel that those tractors were designed to run on in japan back then and what the farmers got in the small villages in any way compares to what I can buy at the pump in todays over regulated society here in America.

I add the two stroke oil in as a lubricity improver and I have gallons of it on hand for boats and at the rate I use I don't even miss it out of my stash. And I use the Cetane boost of powerservice as it quits the diesel knock some. I think I have read that diesel fuel back then or either over there had a higher cetane than ours today?
