[AT] Gas problem now diesel

[Rob Wilson]

I use a pint of Pennzoil 2 cycle oil (NOT synthetic) from, as much as I hate
it White tras errrr I mean walmart when I can't get bio diesel. On the
Diesel truck forums there has been testing done showing the lubricity added
from one pint to a fill-up about 25 gallons is more than enough. With most
trucks no longer using mechanical pumps it's even more important with the
low sulfer crap they sell now.

You beat me to it Ron, what are you guys with older diesels doing with the
ULSD that you have to buy now days? I have a circa 1974 Massey with a
perkins that I'm sure wasn't designed for the new diesel. I've heard of guys
adding 2 stroke oil to it but have not heard a ratio or anything. Mike M
