Lubrication additives for Diesel Fuel in older tractor

   / Lubrication additives for Diesel Fuel in older tractor #71  
What can I add to older (1980’s) Diesel tractor to add lubricity to the fuel.
Have been told that Automobile Transmission Fluid or Two Cycle Oil (used in two cycle engines) can be used but I do not know at what ratio. (How much per gallon of diesel fuel?) Other substitutes?
I use Stanadyne products in my diesel fuel for my Generator, Tractor and Truck. I figure they should know what is needed as they make injection pumps and injectors.

I have used atf for years. It will help clean the system as well as a great lubricant. In my old (50 + years) systems I use a quart for 100 gallons. In my pickup it gets two to three ounces per fill. I literally have never rebuilt a fuel system for fuel issues.

Wow, per those test results, Marvel Mystery Oil makes lubricity WORSE. 😂
OptiLube looks like they have a winning formula

Diesels are bad for soot and carbon. The marvel mystery helps clean out the soot and carbon on the valves.

Each product has an intended use. One product to lubricate, one product to clean make for a :D engine.
