Will not help with that. It will ruin the octane of your gasoline though and lead to detonation under load etc.
Won't be kind to your O2 sensor or catalyst.
better off with TCW3 at a ration of 1oz per 5gal of gas. (640:1)
Already done for you. Pipeline cuts protect products less tolerant of being of spec. Regular gas is the widest spec.
Thanks for the replies, yeah ive heard of adding 2 stroke, does it have to be the TCW3 variety?
But wouldnt a bit of diesel/biodiesel have any benefits?
(The reason i ask is i run lpg most of the time and im looking for something readily available i can add to my gasoline to help with the valve/seat wear that can occur)

An upper cylinder lube can’t reverse wear so if you are worried about it when running propane adding something to gasoline isn’t going to do anything.
Unless your LPG system burns a tiny bit of gas all the time, you're not going to accomplish anything. Not going to help to only have it going in there on startup. If it is injecting gas all the time in addition to the LPG, then you'll want more than a 640:1 ratio since your % of fuel used is only a smidgen of the total.
I doubt that... diesels use catalysts and o2 sensors aswell and it's still just hydrocarbons
Thanks for the good replies, its a bit of a compromise im not convinced about having a flashlube infuser fitted and its a bit of a pain on my intake manifold, i was looking for something i could add to my petrol thatd protect/cushion the valves a bit (like lead used to) whilst also when running on lpg!!
And then have it readily available!! Bit of a big ask really!!
Anyone think of what 'mite' help as well as 2 stroke and the TCW3 is that just the everyday 2 stroke or something a bit more specific?
Cheers

I’m always a bit confused as to what it is in the UC that isn’t getting L and needs the additive. How did I ever make it to all the miles in my vehicles without it?
what is this anyway? why would you need it ?
lube system & piston rings *should* do their job properly & handle it..
if they don´t, then something really bad happened on the drawing board....
Hardened valve seats come in every engine since the unleaded gas was required.
btw... subaru can recess seats even on gasoline....
Yeah good answer, from what I've been advised I think they're are levels of hardness tho I believe even later jap engines are more prone on propane, am just looking for any easy ideas that may protect my valves/seats that's all (maybe make eh last a bit longer if from what I've told s right)
Why not check if there's oil from the PCV system in your intake? If there is, there's nothing to be gained by adding more oil, and if there isn't, you need a lube system fitted one way or another
Yea good answer ive had a look at my pcv hose theres a bit of blowby not loads, engines done 150k+, jus want it to last a bit longer i only do about 7k p.a., engine has shims for valve adjustment so quite involved trying to change the gap, looking at possible alternatives to the flashlube oiler to enhance valve /seat life
A solution to Direct Injection carbon issues?
I am not affiliated with this company in any way, shape, or form. But seems like it could help with many carbon and LSPI issues of the Direct Injection engines. I may be overlooking something though, so feel free to post your opinions and facts on whether this is a good/bad idea and why. From...
