Adding 2-Stroke oil to Diesel

Any roadworthy issue can be a problem when it comes to claiming insurance.

Any roadworthy issue can be a problem when it comes to claiming insurance.

Not true.

To rely on an exclusion clause, or your failure to comply with a condition, the insurer has to show:

1. That the relevant clause applies (for example, the insurer may have incorrectly recorded the date of birth of the driver and so believes, wrongly, that the driver was under 25 years old).

2. That the condition or exclusion is relevant to the loss or, to put this another way, that there is a connection between the conduct or circumstances specified in the conditions and exclusions and the loss or damage suffered. This requirement is contained in Section 54 of the Insurance Contracts Act.

Section 54 states that the insurer cannot refuse to pay a claim because of some act by you unless the insurer’s interests have been prejudiced by that act.

Some examples of where you may be able to rely on Section 54 are:

1. Car tyres became unroadworthy. The car was involved in an accident where you were run into from behind. The insurer cannot rely on the unroadworthy nature of your tyres to avoid paying because the car tyres did not contribute to the accident.

2. A car had been vandalised in a car park. The insurer refused the claim because the car had been modified and the insured had not notified the insurer of the modifications. The insurer still has to pay the claim (but may not have to pay for the replacement of the modified parts if they cost more than the standard parts and accessories for the vehicle).

Obviously you don't understand the word "CAN". It's like MAYBE and similar to COULD, and they are all able to be used in different contexts as well as being ignored apaprently.

 

[Jason]

Oh I fully understand the word. I CAN read and research things before I make unsubstantiated claims.

 

[KraftyPg]

Nothing is unsubstantiated even your quote uses the words "may be" which indicates that it's not true in every case, just like "can" indicates that such things are possible.

 

[Jason]

No it doesn't have to be proven to have done squat.

Any insurance company is within their rights to refuse a payout if the car is unroadworthy as knowingly driving an unroadworthy car or modifying it such that it is unroadworthy is a breach of your insurance terms. It's got nothing to do with blame, that's for the coppers to sort out.

This is unsubstantiated.

 

[KraftyPg]

No it's not.

Sorry cldnt be arsed reading whole thread. Any opinions on which brands of 2-stroke, mix ratios? I got half a tank in me zd30 d22 and think i'll head down to supercheap and try this out. Let yas know how it goes.

 

[johnbritto]

i just get any old 2 stroke same as what i put in wipper snipper castrole brand i think, on the cat issue take it off punch out the guts and put it back on no one would check the inside insurance issue solved, life is short play hard

 

[Krankin]

Errr? What?

So the people running HID globes risk not getting paid out for a daytime accident as well (I could understand an accident at night)? EGR block???

I'm not for cat removal, but as if insurance companies would give a toss.

NO,


but when the EPA sits here reading this and other forums and then starts a campiagn with roadside testing of 4WD's for missing pollution gear and rotten exhaust emissions, that may make some wonder

 

[rabbit-chop]

Yeah tru about cats i was reading on previous pages posts of ppl worrying about removing cats and i was thinking just punch the guts out and who's gonna kno? I dont even have to worry about that on mine- no cat, no dpf, sweet!
Im gonna try it out.
The other thing; apparently lucas upper cyl lube is the best thing to use to clean and lube your fuel system periodically, but there wont be noticably improvements to perfomance running on it (in fact i found it wont run quite as nice on it) because its not thinned out with ingredients to improve the cetane rating like other addidives are.

No proof but the way an insurance company would see it is- The car is not roadworthy therefore should not of been on the road in the first place and as such the crash would not of hapend.
Insurance companies, wonderfull people to deal with untill you want to make a claim.

 

[johnbritto]

NO,

ever since the invention of cats and polution controle bs the emissions from cars has stunk worse diestal fumes have never hurt anyone, i gen see this opening up a green debate now as for the epa reading this i think they have better things to do unless krankin works for them if thats so why would you have an enviroment destroying 4x4 instead of a push bike

 

[KraftyPg]

i gen see this opening up a green debate

Unlikely history dictates that most of today's posts will go the way of the big deletion fairy before the day is out because they are either off topic or in some way make the thread look worse than it already is.

 

[johnbritto]

yeah im over it, im happy to put 2 stroke in the tank and im happy to remove cat and its my car so i dont realy care if i come undone in 5 years or whatever, ill sell the car and start over and some one else can decide if they want to continue with out cat or not all i can say now is i cant see any negative effects so ill stick with it

 

[Krankin]

ive taken plenty cars for a pink slip and never had the cat checked tyres lights horn breaks thats about it and i cant see the epa pulling over a car thats in good shape just to ckeck if it has a cat or not. you wont blow any more smoke with or without so ill run the risk of a fine i already have my excuse ready, it was like it when i got it and it passed rego inspection.

The EPA dont check for good looks or unroadworthy mechanicals...they check soley for bad emissions,

and "it was like that allready" wont stop you getting a fine.

 

[Krankin]

diestal fumes have never hurt anyone, QUOTE]




I would say your very very wrong there and need to get your facts right,

and NO i dont work for the EPA and it seems you got no idea on what and who reads this forum and how the EPA works...I just know about reality and dont live in fairy world.

Lawn-mower grade oil is really, really bad to use. It has a high ash content, which will leave deposits all over the place, inside the cylinders, exhaust ports and all the way down the exhaust.

I've only used two brands. Valvoline seemed to do very little and I wasn't impressed by it at all, although truth be told the effects are very subtle and a slight variation in fuel quality could change the perception.

The other - and the one I have noticed a difference with, and continue to use - is Castrol Activ 2T. It's JASO-FC rated - very low ash - so it shouldn't leave deposits in your engine/exhaust.

if you must use it.....just remember...

Oh, right. I ended up getting Penrite HI-PER semi synthetic cos they didnt have the other. It says its low ash, meets API TC and JASO FB levels whatever that means, and meets or exceeds ISO EG-2, apyic and JASOFC, its all greek to me. Says its good for mowers, chainsaws, seedoos, go carts and as lead replacement.
Yep, it s quieten down the cold engine clackity-clack, yet to see how performance and economy goes...
