It works great in low doses in your diesel truck or even in your gasoline vehicle but isn't so good for OPE. ECHO oil is pretty good stuff as is the STIHL syn variety.
Nope, don't do that. TC-W3 has no business being in the fuel system of your gasoline or diesel truck. If you want to use additives, use the ones specified for diesel trucks or gasoline cars. TC-W3 is meant for 2 stroke Marine engines which have far less complexity and emissions equipment compared to road vehicles.
Gonna have to argue you're way wrong on this one! I and MANY others have proven time and time again that low doses of TC-W3 2T oils in both gas and diesel has increased MPG, lubes the top end, extends injector life and many other benefits. My 05 PowerStroke loves it, it noticeably quiets the rattle down and makes the truck run much smoother. I overdose with the Pennzoil outboard stuff usually a quart to a full tank of fuel (25 gallons)
Ask the Cummins guys how much this helps the old injection pumps live on the 12V motors!
BTW- I have NO emissions equipment on my truck anymore (the dreaded 6.0)... its been gone a LONG time, hence why it still runs perfect to this day!
Yeah in an ancient technology diesel like a Cummins it's no big deal, but I wouldn't do that in modern diesels. I also wouldn't advertise on a public forum that you have deleted the emissions equipment on your truck.
I have deletes and have been running TCW3 in my Cummins 6.7 since forever. Love it. Find another 6.7 owner with more than 1/4 million miles on one set of injectors.

Iknow of many modern diesels and gasoline vehicles using a small dose of TC-W3 in the fuel and ZERO issues. Better MPG's and longer engine life is the only result!
Modern diesels have tiny piezzo injectors...and in 99% 2stroke oils on the market have dye in them (red, blue, green, whatever...)
1+1=....?

The diesel fuel has a dye too. I don't think it's naturally dayglo green.
