After reading lots of forum post about this it seems that some people do get better mpg, quieter engine and cleaner emissions.
Whereas others notice nothing.
I personally dont understand the chemicals in 2 stroke and diesel to understand what contains the lubricant etc.
What I do know is that a Diesel engine will run on most stuff (and could damage the engine doing so or componants attached)
I may try it or not... Im servicing the misses car this weekend so may pop some in. Its done 150k and has a noisy low pressure pump? as its ticks when under load but stops when it goes over 3000rpm when the 3rd piston kicks in? so would be interesting if this 2 stroke would lube it up lol

Would you drink from a 50l container of water that has 500ml of hot chilli sauce in it? Even mid-range sauces like Dave's Insanity Sauce would make a significant difference to the breathing and digestive systems of most people if you ingested it at that ratio... The noise would change too
I can take Daves Insanity sauce undiluted.
I have yet to be beaten by a chilli!!
Although the next day can have some discomfort

500ml of 2 stroke oil into 50 litres of fuel is the difference on my boats engine between running perfectly, and seizing solid, so it does make all the difference!!, you only need a tiny amount of oil in the diesel to make a big difference to the amount of lubrication in the fuel, if you put too much oil in you are simply using the oil as a fuel and its not cheap !

If my 406 was a two stroke I could see your point

Blair's Mega Death is also very nice, but at 10x hotter than insanity sauce, you don't want to use more than a couple of drops in a portion of food... or you'll be rather ill http://www.scorchio.co.uk/blairs-mega-d ... p-479.html
Oh, and Scorchio come with my recommendation. Quick delivery, good prices, very well packaged
<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang
Ultra Death sauce 800 times hotter than a jalapeno!

For once I don't mind a topic wandering off on it's own.
Maybe we need to start a chilli sauce thread instead, with reviews and comparisons.
Optimum fridge temperature for storing loo rolls etc...

Hi
"Im all for additives as the fuel across just our domestic suppliers varies so much let alone across europe, i just wish somebody could give a definitive answer on which was best on bot cost and value, ie quality of fuel."
This comment intrigues me, with respect but how to you arrive at this hypothesis, do you have the apparatus and talents of a chemist since I have been involved
in purchasing thousands of gallons of the stuff per week and would not be clever enough to form that opinion save for the long term collection of silt and water that collects in storage tanks which is unavoidable considering the number of times it is handled from the distillation source. That's why we have fuel filters and water traps on vehicles. You can be assured that there are regulations in place for a minimum standard of fuel and that includes even treating it for winter use and Cetane values in all European states. If you doubt this consult Customs and Excise who have some involvement. Also just consider the Billions of pounds spent on it by the transport industry on Bilions of pounds of equipment. Worry not there are plenty of people keeping an eagle eye on this every day.
SO the fuel companies worry about the quality of the fuel, not the price, and the government is more worried about wear in our engines than the environment?
