I just bought the mmo fluid because everyone seems to swear by it or at least most of you.

it seemed to help my T2, although it's hard to isolate when you do a few things at once.

when so many swear by it, it's gotta be good stuff.

it's also great on crackers.

Hard to believe. 4oz per 10 gallons. The gunk in your tank has more probablity for screwing your injectors.

i just use it in my fuel.....does the stuff burn clean, or is it just so good of a lube that we dont care how it burns?

seems if you put it in your fuel and gas it would just be overkill

Why would it be overkill? The oil passages and fuel passages are two different systems. Remember the eccentric shaft and bearings have to be lubricated also.

My suspicion is that there was some gunk in the injectors, but it was helping them seal. The MMO cleaned the stuff that was gunked up inside them fairly well, but there was still some left over that are causing a suspected poor spray pattern.

I can't say if it really does anything but I put it in my oil every change and in my gas around once every month or so.

I DO have leaky injectors or bad compression(prob inj's)
and haven't put it in lately. I'll try it and see if it improves or worsens my situation.

I use a quart in a full tank if my injectors need cleaning... Otherwise, I use a quart in the oil every other oil change.

It may not run quite as well when the MMO is in the tank, but your next tank of gas will be fine.

FYI, MMO in the gas makes your exhaust smell funny... One of my friends mentioned that after driving behind me.

I run a half a quart in my oil and I mix it with 2 cycle oil in my gas (pre-mix)
Works great!
