Adding oil to fuel, will this help my pump ?

Looking at many threads regarding injector problems and low sulfur fuel, I was wondering if adding few ounces of oil to each fuel tank could help lubricating pump better.

My previous CTD was a 2nd gen and I always added 2 stroke oil to each tankful to help lubricating the VP44.

Any thoughts about this ?

I prefer to stay with a diesel fuel lube: Stanadyne or Power service.

Run powerservice (silver bottle), it is designed to extend the life of your pump/injectors. I have run powerservice in nearly every tank for 80k.
