91.5 beater

Well i got to feel the pain of paying $4.42 for diesel and after about $120 bucks was spent i was feeling bad but then cheered up when i hand calculated that i got 19.6 miles to the gallon on 430 miles on that tank (i did not run it to empty) so even though i spent so much i an gettin great milage I think. about 75% of that driving was city and about 20% was pullin bout 4000lbs, so she aint doin too bad, it also was burnin about 10 gallons of used motor oil on that tank.

wow i think your doin great man, i had a 92 and the mileage was better with that truck then now with my 2gen 12 valve, but your burning 10 gallons in one tank? i burn oil too but the most i did is 3 gallons a tank so i think i can go a lil higher too

Question I am still kind of new too a lot of this.....but what does the oil in the fuel do for the truck. Better mpg or more lubrication for the engine??I have never heard of that and am always trying to learn more. Thanks.

ronnyenns

Well the oil does not really lubricate the engine but it does the pump, its very recommended when you use high sulfur diesel, and it gives you a little bit more power and better mpg too!!

Yes i put that oil in and then drove and filled up with diesel and reset my odometer so it acctually is gettin the 19.6 miles/gal

what kind of oil are you using? my friend told me that he runs transmission fluid every now an then in the diesel.

91.5 beater

Just plain ol everyday used motor oil

redneck2thamax

really? an that won't screw up ur engine r anything at all? see my friend is a diesel mechanic but no one else had told me bout doing it so i didn't trust him to much.

Thanks i never new that, always learning something new. I guess i could see how it helps though with ultra low sulfur diesel having less lubricating agents in it at least thats what i have been told about ultra low it lacks a lot of stuff the older fuel had.

from what I've heard you still have to strain it through a coffee filter too get any metal out of it..
