Can I use IHO in my Massey 690

[TexelBen]

Got a couple of drums of red diesel/IHO mix from work, will this be ok to run in my Massey?
It's been filtered and polished

What is IHO mix ?

 

[Sharpy]

IHO is industrial heating oil, a replacement for gas oil (red diesel) since non agricultural users can no longer be supplied with it. I think it will be absolutely fine as long as you add a fuel additive.

What additive would you recommend?

Something that lubricates the injection pump.

Don't think so, @Cowabunga has mentioned atf before iirc.

Yes, ATF Dexron works a treat to lubricate and clean injectors and pumps. I used it annually in my 2140 where it eliminated white smoke for months and months at a time. I can’t recall the concentration exactly but believe it was 2% ATF/red diesel. It is quite safe in tractors that do not have DPF or a catalytic converte, the effects on which I have no clue. That concentration is the same as 50:1 if I’m not mistaken, which is the two stroke petrol mix standard, which is reassuring. 2 litres added to 100 of fuel.
No warranty given.

I remember doing this in my defender, no ill effects, seemed to run smoother and quieter

Any ATF or just atf dexron?

ATF Dexron II or III is fine. Don’t just pour it into the tank. Premix it.
