Don't see the need for it when Xantias are clocking up huge mileage as is.
Yes it is a great lube but you have the Bio in the fuel now so why spend more money and add another thing to your shopping list...it's expensive too.

As I understand it, the loss of natural lubricity in ultra-low sulphur diesel (ULSD) as a result of sulphur removal, has been replaced by an additive that gives the same level of lubricity. This was necessary as some pumps did show abnormal wear when ULSD was first introduced. Modern diesel is a lot less oily than the old stuff, that is for sure but pumps seem to be OK on it.stevenlizuk wrote: The object is to add something that counters the lack of lubrication from the removal of the sulphur and the addition of the bio.
Thoughts?
Pumps seem to me to wear more when running veg. oil so perhaps a dash of two-stroke in with each fill of veg might be no bad idea at all.
