2 stroke oil
On the Aus Exploroz website there have been several threads discussing the use of adding a small amount of 2 stroke oil to diesel tanks to help lubricate the injector pump since the advent of low sulphur fuel. I do not do this but several owners of Landcruiser and Nissan 4wds have reported long use with no adverse effects and claim quieter pump operation.
I add an equivalent preservative to the Chemtech to my tanks if the fuel has been in for a while. On the truck I now have a prefilter of 50 micron prior to the oem unit and this also has a water trap. I have used the 2 tank, separate fill where possible approach for most of my 40+ years of 4wd travelling. I avoid jerry cans as I will not store them inside a vehicle, consider them a handling hazard on a roof rack, and prefer to have a properly fitted dual tank setup for all the reasons said. Jerries and bladders are fine for the occasional one off long trips, but are an additional expense and have to be stored between use. Now I am older with a back problem lifting a jerry is not an option I want to use. Yes I do have an air fitting for a jerry can which I used for refuelling a boat for some years, but it was out of necessity not preference.
Each to their own, but my preference and experience is that dual tanks of a size to suit the owner's travel needs is the way to go.
