Actually i lie!, i did use it once, it made a HORRIBLE clanging sound when it fired up it was most disturbing, then i found the excess fuel button on the injector pump, after that starting has been a breeze.I do use it on small petrol engines when i get cranky at the fact they refuse to work after ripping my arm out of its socket. I give it a quick squirt in the air cleaner or in through the spark plug hole if its being a real swine. This is just to get it going then after that i can adjust the carby so it doesn't need it again.As for lubrication, i thought it got all its lubrication for the cylinder walls from the crank case oil not the fuel, i know that running a diesel on kerosene will quickly kill its injector pump and injectors as it is abrasive un-like diesel fuel.</blockquote>
