I have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Porsche vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps carbs and tank clean and rustfree
@Pnoerre - Don't know where you heard that, but that'd cause way more damage. I wouldn't recommend it for a K-Jet either. Are you thinking this is a diesel?
@axia24 This is a common thing to do on cars this old, and it doesn't cause damage. However, personally, I wouldn't use as much as Phoerre suggests. I only used about 1/2 liter on a 100 liter tank on mine. It lubricates the fuel system a bit. Besides, old engines don't burn as much of the fuel as modern engines do. The petrol partially acts as a lubricant as well. Relatively dry, modern petrol doesn't have the same lubrication properties as the petrol these engines were designed for.

Most Mercedes vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps carbs and EFi injectors clean as new!

Put 1:100 two stroke oil in your fueltank because modern eco fuel is too aggressive to the old fuel injecion system, your pump might corrode.
