[QUOTE="Steve NW WI, post: 1897432, member: 32687"] Good thinking with the 2 stroke oil. During Desert Shield/Storm, we ran JP-8 (jet fuel) in all our trucks. Late 70's era Big Cam 400 cummins engines. We replaced all but one or two injector pumps out of a fleet of 50, due to lack of lubrication to seals. After replacement, the new pumps never gave a problem, I'd guess due to better seal materials in the new ones. Jet fuel is probably no "drier" than the Ultra Low sulfur on highway fuel sold today, which when it was mandated, was going to kill every diesel in existence. Years back I had a neighbor that used a charcoal grill as the heater for his old Minneapolis Moline. It worked, but any oil or fuel leaks, and I'd be scared. [/QUOTE]
