Wd-40 For Fuel Additive?

[ChrisKringle]

Now there's an idea, I bet it would work? Lubricant, penetrant . . .

 

[24V-DSL]

Go for it... ...

 

[Grizzly]

I don't know. I would have to read some recommendations from Cummins first.

WD-40 gets sticky when it gets hot. Not for my diesel.

What reason do you have to use an additive? Is there a symptom?

 

[Hoefler]

WD-40 is a solvent, penetrant, and a water displacer. I would find it to be a bit of stretch as a lubricant.

Use transmission fluid or marvel mystery oil... transmission fluid is loaded with detergents.

Just curious- with all the stuff provided by accredited vendors, why do you want to toss in some "wonder what this will do" fluid? No offense, but that also includes transmission fluid and used motor oil.

HEY wait a minute... this isn't another Ford owns CumminGs, is it?

How 'bout some baking soda? That should clean and polish your injectors pretty good, no? Then some clorox to kill the bacteria in your fuel tank.

Follow with armor-all to lubricate and protect, then turtle wax...



Seriously, WD40 is mostly kerosene, some oil, and maybe some waxes and perfume. It was designed to keep missile parts from corroding while in storage.

This is correct.

 

[MoparDave]

I use extra virgin olive oil mixed with buttermilk

 

[JFaulkner]

I'd try diesel fuel. Seems to work well, is recommended by all diesel engine mfg's and oddly enough it's readily available.

WD-40 is mediocre when used as intended. Why would you want to use it as a fuel additive? I wouldn't put WD-40 on my bicycle chain and it only costs $35.

I like to use WD-40 on my windshield! It helps to cut through the dead bugs and acid rain. An added benefit of WD-40 on your windshield, your wipers slap back and forth twice as fast! Maybe I should run an infomercial,, and change the name to "WIPER EXTREME" synthetic formula! Price per bottle, 9. 95$ If you call now, we will include a second bottle of "WIPER EXTREME" for 1/2 price!!!!!



THATS TWO QUALITY BOTTLES OF "WIPER EXTREME" FOR $14. 95



California residents add $29. 95 for shipping.

To be honest, I think fuel additives in general are a joke. How much good do they really do? Don't you think it's maybe the psychological aspect that makes you think your engine is running smoother? Like all those weight loss infommercials... the appetite control programs. The only reason your not as hungry is because you tell yourself that you can't be as hungry as a justification to the absurd price you just payed for the bottle of 30 capsules. Same goes for the pills that magically create better sex.

 

[DZLROKET]

Actually Sex has gotten alot better since I strated using 10 gal. of Biodiesel with my dino diesel! It's just AMAZING! (truck idles quieter as well) LOL

 

[Elite1]

Speaking of sex...

I put 1 Viagra pill in my tank, It turned my 5. 9 into a 6. 7!

 

[CStraface]

Well Viagra may be the exception... the results of that little pill are hard to pass up... if ya catch my drift :-laf



Ok ok... seriously though, I didn't mean to hijack this thread. Lets just say that I won't be adding the same lubricant to my engine that I use on my garage door.

Now that's funny right there.
