Diesel additives - FP
This forum has dealt with the use of Miller\'s to add to diesel fuel, but I hadn\'t come across the following - perhaps not available in the UK: www.ethosfr-media.com

I presume it\'s the usual snake-oil!

"cleaning and lubricating esters suspended in a mineral oil base"...."There are organic and synthetic esters. For example most natural oils, fats and waxes are esters. More common esters are beer, soap and polyester used in clothing."

Sounds like brake fluid to be honest.

My view for diesels...I will bore you as you have heard it all before...

1. Do not use additives. But instead use a good quality fuel such as Shell.

2. Do not thrash the nuts off the engine when cold. Or hot for that matter-except twice a month to blow out the cobwebs.

3. Do not labour the engine.

4. Engine oil change every 5,000 miles; oil filter every 10,000 miles, transmission oil @ first 10,000, then every 50,000 miles

Result:

-I always reach or even exceed the manufacturers own MPG figures.
-Car has done 122,000 miles @ 700 miles per week. Still has original (and still legal) front tyres and clutch.
-Uses no oil. No smokey exhaust. Zilch
