There are millions of diesel cars worldwide using far inferior fuels to ours and doing colossal mileages without using these additives.

I'm not sure, I have always had an open mind and its well known that 'diesel clatter' is the noise of combustion, so if you can raise the cetane number then maybe the burning is more efficient.

It's cleaning properties are certainly impressive, there is no doubt about that, OG's pictures were proof of that.

But the bits like the EGR valve sticking or the variable vanes on the turbo sticking (that has been documented) and probably more, it may have a beneficial part to play in keeping these bits working longer and efficiently long before they wear out.

I have an old '68 2.8 petrol engine that is a pig unless it gets a long fast run,wish it would work in that. |

I ran my SD4 for the first year on BP Ultimate. MPG slowly improved as the engine bedded in but it was expensive. So, for the second year I have used supermarket fuel with TSO. Absolutely no difference in MPG but a lot quieter, and that is the opinion of friends and family as well as me. I do loads of short journeys but I have had no DPF issues, which I can't attribute to using TSO, but nevertheless that is the case. The interesting thing for me is that at the same time as staring to use TSO in the SD4, my wife bought a Mercedes E320 CDI from a friend. It had done 59K and I knew the service history. Although there was nothing wrong with it, it took about 2 or 3 secs of cranking to start, blew white smoke out the back when it fired up and black smoke when pulling away from lights or accelerating hard. Also, it was returning about 40 MPG on a long run and 35 running around. Within two months of using TSO it was starting almost immediately with no white smoke, no black smoke on acceleration and is now returning 43 MPG on a long run and 37 locally, and, as usual it is much quieter. Also the exhaust pipes, which were a sooty black, are now a dark grey.

Good to hear you feel it is worthwhile EY. I have put it in mine since I got it, so never really noticed any difference with this one. My old one was 3 years old when I got it and started using it after reading the right up here some months later. I noticed the difference in exhaust smoke very soon, the smoother acceleration and the quieter engine. The smoke emission test at mot also got better. |

The remark of taztastic, that 2-t oil will not lubricate, if added to diesel fuel in the recommended dosis, cannot be left without protest!

Taztastic, most countries with very poor diesel compared to ours still have a sulpher content of 50-500ppm we now have 5ppm, it is this that lubricates the valves etc and give diesel that oily quality that is missing from our clean diesel,

Last two times i have taken fuel on, i haven't added 2t oil. The only reason, is that i forgot to fill my bottle which lives in the door pocket. There will be no residual 2T in the tank now, and the cold diesel clatter is considerably worse than when it has some. I won't be forgetting to put oil in the bottle, for the next fill. |
