I haven't seen a diesel yet that didn't lube/cool the pump via fuel.

I agree with rjohnson, I mix a little (2-3 oz) tcw-3 ashless dispersant 2 cycle oil in my fuel. As mentioned, it is designed to burn, and lubricate. I have run it in my old 85 Toyota diesel and never a burb in 340K. I also ran straight, and a slight mix of JET-A for about 10 years, Those were the cheapest fuel years of my life
I know others as well that run the same, again up to the owner,
I ran Marvel in my aircraft oil(and a little in the gas) for years, and alot of General Aviation old timers sweared by the stuff, again not a burb with the airplane either...
FWIW...
Cheers

I personally don't understand why if you're going to use an additive you don't just use one that's designed for diesel fuel rather than try to invent a new mouse trap.
Plenty to choose from out there.
