Some additional lube for injection pumps is highly desireable. This helps break in, and also preserve the long term service life of the seals on the most commonly used positive displacement gerotro type pumps (same as those used as fuel pumps). The lube must be water soluble. Also. the lube should burn completly without any ash deposits, much like 2 cycle oil. Top cylinder lubes such as Marvel Mystery Oil simply don't cut the mustard. They are not water soluble and will separate out (stratify) in the tank. Klotz upper cylinder fuel lube sold as Uplon Fuel Lube Kl-107 (
www.klotzlube.com) will do the job, even with high percentage alcohol mixes. There may be other brands that will also work, but I am unaware of them.
