Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Engine flush?

Well - maybe never say "never" - my gas-fueled vehicles (14 of them) don't have injectors. And, if they did, I'd be scratching my head - and probably other things - trying to figure out how the stuff in the crankcase was getting into my injection pump.

I put some Berryman's B12 in the oil and let it idle for 5-10 minutes about once a year on my older cars. My Dad did it on his old car every oil change which killed the compression. He took the engine apart and said it was incredibly clean.

Gee whiz! What a useless thread!

pennsoil= sludge

Valvoline= nice clean motor.

So your one of the many guys here who likes to post sarcastic remarks instead of making useful comments. Check out the 3rd comment on this thread from sixspeeedman about adding automatic transmassion fluid to his crankcase. It MIGHT help you understand.

Ummm... no.

Speedsixman said nothing about ATF getting from crankcase to the fuel injectors. That was you.

If ATF in the crankcase is bad, go ahead & make that claim, & explain why. If adding it to the crankcase is somehow bad for the fuel injectors, please explain how.

FWIW, If iron bender was being sarcastic, I don't think he did very well at this particular attempt.

FC

ATF or any other crank case additive will not have anything to do with the injectors.
Ironbender and FC need to be a little more sarcastic to that claim.

Plenty of silly... interesting ideas.

How about this? Only put into the crankcase what your car's manufacturer specifically tells you to put in.

I agree.

I sure agree as well with regard to the only modern vehicle we own - a 2001. All of the others here are 43 to 48 years old and the owners' manuals disappeared a long time ago. So, I guess.

The new kid on the block is a relatively new purported product

CeramiLube.

Phenome, cutting edge.

The absolute new product

I posted super abudaaaa

That is brake lube isn't it?

If you patch your barrel with it you get a 50% instant increase in velocity. Great stuff it seems...

On a less sarcastic note, I don't ever add anything to my oil to "clean things" but I do to the fuel. My 16 year old diesel will burn ATF, used oil, Jet fuel and diesel just fine. Since the good diesel fuel went away, I generally add something at each fill-up. Right now I am used small engine 2-stroke oil because I got it for $1 quart at a convenience store! Ultra low sulfur diesel does not lubricate your injection system very good.

OK, "PAL",

I'll NEVER rescue an old rig or the engine powering it again,...whether from a flood, or 30 years parked in crazy climatic conditions somewhere.

In the "REAL" world,...we never have to wake up a questionable or potentially damaged engine,...

always "Follow"


What a large load of smelly, rank, and imbalanced fertilizer.

It's rumored that certain "Desert Rats" have been pumping their used motor oil into their bulk diesel tanks, filtering it properly, and (GASP!),...putting it back into their road truck's tank.

The 2-stroke oil is going to blow up your (our) engine(s),....some when, somehow, ... Maybe we need to try to get our engines HOTTER, for that to play out.

Too damned cold and engine friendly to torture test any of this here, eh ?

I opoligize for MY sarcastic comment. I posted it without thinking about what sixspeed actually said. Of course putting auto trans fluid into your crankcase won't damage fuel injectors. I had a friend who used to put a gallon of auto trans fluid in his gas tank at every fill up thinking it cleaned the carbon out of his engine.

2 stroke oil is made to be burned. It is actually recommended over almost all of the commercially available diesel additives. 1 Qt to 40 gallons.

Swift transportation, the largest trucking company in the world, ran their old engine oil right back through their 60 series Detroits until the EPA told them to knock it off.

Another buddy uses old oil to make dyed diesel no longer red. Lots of good uses for it!

Motor oil has more BTUs per gallon that diesel fuel. As long as it isn't too thick to inject, it works fine. I wouldn't run straight fryer oil, it will ruin your injectors.

Is that why we see so many Swift trucks broke down on the side of the road?

Well, that was my question. Glad it's all sorted now.
