'06 TD5. 250 mls 2so added to full tank for first try. Most noticeable the reduced engine noise ,especially on cold start up.
( a generic horticultural mineral type ) |

I have to say at 1:300 I could tell no difference at all but at 1:200 there is definitely an improvement in noise and smoothness.
2013 USW so 2.2. Comma low ash mineral 2 stroke. 2003 Td5 110 Hardtop Now a 2013 110 USW too. |

I'm nearly at the end of my first tank on trial, cheap mineral 2stroke, 200ml added to a full tank, Ive noticed a difference in noise, it certainly runs smoother but Im sure there is an increase in exhaust smoke, maybe I'm just looking for it more but I'm sure it's there

Not sure if it's coincidental - but at the end of my first tankful my mpg had dropped quite a bit.
I'm trying the next tank without to see what that returns. |

I'll persevere with it for another tank or two and see if the smoke gets less

On 3rd tank of 2stroke mix, definitely quieter on cold start, and generally quieter( engine noise), not noted any increase in mileage,( to varied).no noticeable increase in smoke. Must add this is using Tesco diesel, not any premium diesel.

its worth noting that potentially different 2stroke oils will give different results
someone using a mineral based one for a chain saw is likely to see a difference to someone using a synthetic one made for high performance motorcycle engine,s this is what it says on the Castrol web about the stuff I use in the BM Castrol POWER1 2T with Clean Burn Formula provides long lasting performance.
