Yes they do need lubricity too, trust me I understand that, and that's why I run the super-tech every fill-up. You said you're not convinced you need the extra filtration, and I gave the reason why most go with lift pumps with the filters. Your truck brother do what you wish, you got the money and time to dump into injectors go right ahead. Just saying I've read to many premature failures due to poor filtration and yes bad lubricity too. I won't chance it....

I've put basic gas pumps through a variety of fuel mixtures in my ol' 6.2L Diesel. My only issue was the 2-3psi that it put out, but it got my poor diesel through a winter without issue. I've since upgraded to a Carter 4070, but it's more of a 5-7psi range pump and might not be quite enough for a DMAX.

Just make sure it's wired in good to get as consistent voltage as possible. This will give more consistent performance and a generally longer life from electrical pumps.

I rarely used my ol' 6.2 without TCW3, it was quieter and smoother in every regard compared to just straight fuel.

Luckily there are tons of high-performance sleds up here, so most every store was well stocked with many brands of TCW3 oil. Sometimes I'd spring for the synthetic when the weather dipped below -40...but I don't know if it was necessary .

From what I can find the 5-7 psi would work fine on a stock to mild built dmax. The fass and the airdogg are both regulated to about 7psi on the smaller pumps. And the other thing to consider is to put an oil pressure switch in the system like the name brand pumps do if you want to or put it on a keyswitched relay system.

I thought it was a no no to run 2 Stroke oil with our high pressure injection systems ? I was told not to use that or trans fluid in a common rail setup .

Would be cheaper though , it's what I use in my John deer 3 cyl.

In the summer time I use 2 cycle oil, and it works great for me. Quiets the injectors, and seems to be a little peppier too. But that could just be my imagination....

Since the 2 cycle oil won't help with fuel gelling or waxing, I run the blue bottle Stanadyne Performance Formula during the winter.

I use 2 stroke oil in summer too never had a problem

Well I will have to look into that ! Thanks for sharing , the Lucas additive I run gets pricey using it all the time .

Koots

What Lucas additive are you using?

If it's the top end cleaner, I hear that it can potentially reduce lubricity, based on this independent test I saw on another forum:

Lubricity Additive Study Results - Diesel Place : Chevrolet and GMC Diesel Truck Forums

I can remember seeing this in PDF format somewhere, but my old computer crashed and I can't find the original document anywhere...so that will have to do.

It's surprising how high TCW3 oil is on this list for fuel lubricity, which is why I used it heavily in my old 6.2 (in which the IP is lubricated by fuel only)

Koots, I use the Lucas fuel treatment , spose to be pretty good stuff.
