Wow, does this ever sound like a shameless plug.

What is 2-butoxyethanol and 2-butoxyethanol acetate?
2-Butoxyethanol is a clear colorless liquid that smells like ether. It has many names including ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, ethylene glycol butyl ether, ethylene glycol n-butyl ether, Butyl Cellusolve, butyl glycol, and butyl Oxitol. It is used as a solvent in spray lacquers, enamels, varnishes, and latex paints and as an ingredient in paint thinners and strippers, varnish removers, and herbicides. It is also used in liquid soaps, cosmetics, industrial and household cleaners, and dry-cleaning compounds.
What do you guys think of Lucas Products fuel system additive?
I've seen notable gains in mileage when i put 3-5 oz in a tank, and
i'm told it has good lubricity to it... but then again i also run wvo and the occasional ATF mixture, so i may not have much to worry about.
Dern ulsd.
But at least thery're tryin' to be more environmentally friendly...I guess...
I've heard good things about the Lucas oil additives in transmissions, like lower oil temps, but have no experience with the fuel additives.

Yeah, i love their tranny treatment, good stuff. I had a friend who had a nissan maxima with an auto that was so far gone that he had no forward gears... added some lucas... got back his forward gears for a couple weeks. :shock: :lol: I use it every chance i get, prolly keep that company in business. :roll:
I reset the internal pump pressure (it was low) and it made a positve diference to how the car runs.
Search the vwdieselparts.com fourm for how to.

Synthetic Oil is Bad to run through you tank. As stated earlier it won't actually burn and lord know what you'll have left behind.
Use a diesel fuel additive, I like Power Service Diesel Kleen only because the price is good, is available everywhere, and it actually seems to do what it claims in my TDI. I notice less smoke, % better mileage and so on.
I also used to run an occasional quart of Non synthetic Type F Automatic transmission fluid. It lubes and cleans as well. At least thats what I have read.

Are you sure that it won't burn? Because i've run as much as 30% used synthetic engine oil with my WVO mix with no reduction in mileage or power whatsoever. I've also had the heads off of several WVO and synthetic burning engines, and noticed no unusual deposits. In theory, wouldn't the synthetics slightly improve upper cylinder lubricity properties as well? And why would they offer synthetic 2-cycle oil if it won't combust? Wouldn't that defeat the purpose? :?
And i've filled a new fuel filter with Mercon V full synthetic ATF on filter changes and it runs exactly the same... Maybe i'm just lucky. :lol:

I do agree with you on this point, as i've had good luck with reputable fuel additives, and since they're formulated for this specific purpose, they're
probably the best option. :wink:

Amen!
2 stroke works the best for the price. The reason for using 2 stroke over motor oil is that 2 stroke will not coke up the combustion chamber because it designed to completely burn off.
