    Default Cleaning the injecters

    Hi, I have just got a 2003 6.6 last week and was told to clean the injecters to add 1L of 2 stroke oil to the gas, any true to this?

    it dosn't clean your injectors but it helps lubricate your injection pump.
    if you run on low sulfur diesel with less than 15ppm sulfur you should use some kind of lubrication additive, 2-stroke oil is the cheapest, but there are special additives you can buy at the gas station.

    your injectors can fail due to dirt in the fuel, so change your fuel filter often (more often than recommended) and you will have less problems.
    if your injectors are bad and you plan to change all of them you should think about adding an auxiliary fuelfilter in your syatem that keeps the smallest particles away.

    How often should you add the 2 stroke oil?

    i have a tank with 3000L (780 gallon) diesel, and every time i fill it up (approx. once/year) i add 20L (5.2 gallon) of the cheapest 2-stroke oil i can find.
    and i also add some "biocide" to prevent bacteria build-up.
