Dear Eugene, Roco and isa:

Thank you for your interest in my fuel additive.

I will PM you all with the additive details as this forum frowns upon shameless, naked marketing.

As to the use of 2T oil for diesel engines, let me say this.

2T oil is a Petron product intended for use in 2-stroke, reed-valve type motorcycle engines.

These engines use the bottom of the piston and crankcase assembly as an air pump/supercharger to push the air-fuel into the area above the piston/combustion chamber.

The crankcase is sealed and not vented to the atmosphere.

Air from the carburetor outlet is drawn through the crankcase through a very light tension, flat spring that opens as the piston rises and closes when it descends.

As the piston rises, it draws in the air-fuel mix, as it descends, it forces the mixture into a passage connecting to the combustion chamber.

The valve resembles the reeds of wind instruments (clarinet, oboe, saxophone, etc.) - hence the name reed valve.

Another name for this device is a flapper valve - similar to the ones used in plumbing - which are called 'check valves'.

Because the air/gasoline mixture passes directly through the crankcase it dissolves and washes away all the oil covering the crankshaft and connecting rod bearings as well as the oil lubricating the piston rings.

To provide adequate lubrication, these engine designs rely on pre-MIXING oil and gasoline together and then burning the resulting mixture in the combustion chamber - producing the familiar and noxious clouds of white, motorcycle oil smoke.

Addition of such an oil will probably aid or boost a diesel fuel's lubricity, but will likely adversely affect combustion.

Why?

Well 2T was formulated for GASOLINE engines.

Gasoline engines need to control pre-ignition and knock (detonation) and the fuel is formulated for to resist this from happening.

That quality is measured as the OCTANE rating or Octane Number.

It is safe to assume that 2T engine oil does NOT adversely affect or reduce the fuel's Octane Rating.

Diesel engines need to burn the fuel as quickly as possible, and need fuels that burn rapidly.

Those qualities are measured as the CETANE rating or Cetane Number.

CETANE and OCTANE are OPPOSITE behaviors.

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Dusky Lim
