New low sulphur diesel warning!

I generally make a "slurry"  3L of canola oil mixed with 2L of your choice of aditive shaken well, then divied into smaller car-portable containers.  It's been keeping my 12mm pump ticking nicely (it regularily sees beyond 4000rpm ;) )
Waiting for a bigger better diesel to come along.

Seems to be fine in my car, even in the winter, I run straight pump diesl, noconversion stuff for "vegetable oil".  It is such a low percentage that you put in it is really only a lubricity additive.  I'm not putting in more than 250ml/tank as an additive.  (on occassion I do put a whole 3L jusg in on a whim when it goes on sale for less than the price of diesel here, but generally no more, and only that amount in the summer).  I have had no coking isues etc, you just can't go overboared and decide to throw in 25L and see what happens on cold starts ;)

the new diesel is supposedly getting lubricity and other additives, as i've read in diesel power magazine, but we can only hope....

I've been using AMSOIL's diesel modifier since I had Giles redo my pump. AMSOIL just overhauled their product and updated it's formula to work with Bio-diesel as well.  Works great and isn't that expensive.  Retails for $6.65 US.
