First thing fitter does when he come to service the 526 is put jug of engine oil in the fuel tank, seems to be his cure of all cures

Automatic transmission fluid works best. 2 litres of ATF for every 100litres of diesel in the tank. Liquid engineering. Only needs doing once per year at most.

taken this off a farming forum, is it bollo or would it be recommended Question

I can't see 2% oil in the fuel doing any HARM, but any idea what GOOD it's supposed to do?

The oil would help lubricate your injector pump and make it last longer, think you would be wasteing good oil in the 3.0l as has no injector pump or high pressure fuel pump.

IMO unless you are doing high miles the 2.8/3.1 body will go before the engine Wink
