Hmm, I've got half a quart of the Amsoil stuff. I didn't particularly like it,
an oz a tank shouldn't hurt anything, might even help...

I'd be tempted to add some 100:1 synthetic 2 stroke oil, maybe at 500:1 (one oz
per 4 US gallons), but I can't guarantee it wouldn't damage the SCR in a modern
DEF-mobile or the catalyst in some 1980s-1990s MBZ.

Any need to be adding something to the fuel in my 76 115 300D? BioD does
not appear to be readily available anywhere around here. A quick search
indicates that diesel in Canada is low sulpher but I don't know that it
is ultra low sulpher.

Most commonly available additive is bioD. It boosts cetane and ads the
missing lubricity. B5 is supposed to be enough. B10 would be better,
but it is not available premixed. B100 or b99/b98 all work too.

You might decide adding some lube to the fuel is a low cost insurance.

I could see where some sort of additive might be needed for the common rail
engines or rotary type pumps like those on the 6.2/6.5 diesels. I have never
been of the opinion they are needed on our 61x and 60x cars since they are
lubed by engine oil.

I have been adding 1 gt of Marvel Mystry Oil per full tank in all my diesel
vehicles since low sulfur fuel became the only thing you can buy There
are other lubricity additives on the market... as well... suggest use of
same would cure the issue, as insurance.

I *think* my '83 240D did also. I seem to remember it getting stuck closed
once at which point I had almost no go. IIRC I pried it open and held it there
somehow.

Yes, but. diesel smells, so it must be really bad for you... while you

Then, we have the hood stack coal rolling bunch and we all know how
evil those guys are...
Yet another example of unregulated regulation writing.. IMHO
On Mon,
Even back in the old days diesels polluted less than gassers.

We have a situation, driven by EPA regulation, which forces unreasonable
