I really can't see what you'd gain by adding oil to the fuel. I'm running an old driptroit this winter that's taking somewhere in the neighbourhood of 1/2 qt per hour past her blower seals and burning it. I can't tell that it's added to it's fuel economy because it burns more fuel that a 3204T Cat of similar ratd power (that's making a good deal more power)... it makes a constant plume of smoke that only marginally clears off during a very hard pull... and I'd say it's probably 25-30% short of it's rated power. The owner tells me it's done that for a long long time... so I guess we could sit here and say we've done that for years and it hasn't hurt a thing.... On the other hand... I've got various tractors and other machines here that have 20-30K hours combined use between them; all older engines. Not one has had a pump touched. Only one has had one injector changed and that was when it was 2 years old. Very seldom do I use fuel conditioner. Probably 90% of those hours it was just straight fuel.... So I think a very strong argument could be made that the fuel we get here is more than sufficient of it's own accord. Your call what you do but personally I wouldn't make a point of using anything. Logically... the fuel suppliers are not going to knowing put fuel out there that will damage an engine. The class action that would result from that would cost far more than a good additive package at the refinery will ever cost.

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
