What does the 2Stroke oil do? Make it extremely loud and smokey? :D

Supposed to make the engine smoother and quieter and possibly give it a little extra oomph. I was putting in about 250ml mineral based 2-stroke per tank.

In theory it is supposed to compensate for lack of sulphur in the fuel, and lubricate the fuel system.

I was skeptical. But I used it for several months. I used Millers as well.

Wasn't sure there was much difference.

Anyhow, I use Diesel Rhino now which does a lot more than both of them. Car feels even better.

I thought that adding 2-stroke oil to diesel was not recommended anymore? Modern fuel has other lubricants that does that job?
But I might be mistaken, of course. :)
 
I use two stroke oil I'm mine and I feel it makes a difference definitely sounds less rattly
 
I've swapped from Millers/2stroke to Diesel Rhino and found a high improvement, now starts instantly and runs better more powerful.
 
Replaced the fuel pump as it wasn't sounding to healthy and I was suffering random stalling and occasional power loss.
I got a pattern part from Rimmers for around 1/2 the LR price. Looks identical too. Sounds much quieter and so far, all seems well. Time will tell though.
