2 stroke oil in td5

I have just drained 15 ltrs of unleaded from my td5.it was more petrol than diesel still runs tho barely.prob done 10 miles before i discovered the mistake.
have bought a new fuel pump, fuel filter.will add 40 ltrs of diesel and pump round before starting.was thinking of adding some 2 stroke to lube where petrol washed.anyone an idea on the safe amount in 40 lts please.

I would say 1 litre is plenty, 40:1 very safe.

Most people who use it put in 200/250:1

I tend to use half a litre of two stroke oil per tankful quietens her down considerably

I add 2 stroke oil in my 300Tdi engine at 200 to1.
Definately worth it. Its quite possible you cpuld be ok with refilling with diesel and running the engine. The 2 stroke oil will be a big help.
remember to come back and tell us how you got on.
Always of interest to all on here what the outcome is.

cheers

Being a newbie here, I have not come across running a TD5 or any diesel, and I have others (RAV4 and Audi A6) with 2 stroke oil at a 200:1 mix. Can anyone explain why it has a noticeable effect, although clearly it will provide better upper cylinder lubrication? Does it have any long term damaging effects, does it make it smoke, or coak valves up?
Interested to hear

I wouldn't bother changing the fuel pump,just drain the tank and replace the filter,I don't reckon 10 miles on petrol will harm the pump
