sorry Bill, should have simpled it down for you. Two stroke motor oil
is not the same as a "can of topoil". Fuel injectors aren't made to
have oil pushed through them, leaving deposits, eventually gumming
them up beyond working condition. Contact a representative of a
reputable company that manufactures fuel injectors, say, Bosch, and
see what they say. There are other negative factors involved also. The
added exhaust particulates, when read by the O2 sensor, makes the
computer think there is a rich condition, then tries to lean it out.


This sounds like a reasonable caution to me and the first time I've
actually
had it explained to me. As I earlier posted, I've used old 50:1, at a
rate
of a few gallons to a tank full a couple of times in my cars, some carb.
some FI. It makes sense not to do it in the FI rigs (so far, no prob,
but
...) , but what do you think about carbureted vehicles, at a dilution
of,
say 5 gal 50:1 to 15 - 20 gal regular fuel?

Oh please.

Dump it right in straight, fuel injected or carbed. Seriously... you
and the car will not even notice. Every FI car since my '85 Crown Vic
and every carbed car from 1973 up has injested whatever 50:1 I had left
in the spring with no adverse results at all except they get rusty with
12 years and 200,000 miles on them.

And there are very few multi-port injection cars out their. And my new
diesel, due to be delivered Friday (Damn! senile, old handyman can afford
better vehicles, boats, houses than a Georgia PE) burns light oil. The #2
diesel is probably heavier / thicker than 50:1 boat gas.

Anybody can afford a new vehicle. I simply prefer to keep my old ones
running in great shape, and keep my money. I don't need to drive a
phallic symbol.
