This is BS, don't waste your time. Gas doesn't need to "lube" your fuel pump. Trust me, older engines have PLENTY of upper cylinder lubrication from valve seal wear!

As mentioned you can clean your fuel system with some good products.

This 2 stroke oil BS won't save you any more money or fuel than HHO will.

So...if I add 1 gallon of 2 stroke oil for ever gallon of gas, I will get around 260 mpg? Sounds good to me!

its not really supposed to add mpg as much as keep your engine running good... idk after reading all those people that have had good luck with it who knows...

some people are claiming 65mpg extra per tank which i know is bs.. idk i just figured with a higher mileage engine there might be some benefit, most of those people are doing this every time they fill up, but maybe this should be done maybe like 1 time a month or something??

If you put very much in, the catalyst could be damages along with O2 sensors. I'd be careful adding much.

Very good points. The 02 sensors and catalytic converters do not like unburned hydrocarbons. Gasoline engines can not burn hot enough to completely burn the oil. Damage may result.

Gas already has all of the additives it needs.

I call :bs: on any benefit.

Another good point. Gasoline already has additives for lubricity and for cleaners.



Adding 2 stroke oil to the fuel tank is a trick for old diesel engines, and it works good in them, but on a gasoline engine, your just asking for trouble.

Riggs, everyone is just adding what they think. If you want to try it, by all means go for it. Keep the ratio under 200:1 and you'll be ok, but you wont see any benefit, and 2 stroke oil is expensive.

If you had an old diesel truck, that was used to high sulfer diesel, the the 2 stroke works well. But gasoline engines are completely different. They dont like thick, oily fuel. Just trying to help.....
