when i was out yesterday i came across a product by the compnay car plan.
the bottle said
empty all the contents of this bottle into the fuel tank of a diesle vehicle
it said this would happen
increase BHP by 10%
lower fuel consupmtion
lower fuel emisions

does anyone know if this is anygood or just a lame scam ?

thanks

The bottle is a cetane boost also I bet.
If you have never run any injector cleaner it may help
up to what point who knows.
The 10 bhp is worst case.
I have a VW TDI with a Ups chip large injectors and use a cetane booster ever time I full up.
The diesel here in the U.S. leaves a bit to desire.
Hope that helps. Mike

yeh thanks
its definstly cetane
what do you mean "10bhp is the worst bit"
and by the way does it make the car more responsive or faster ?

By worst bit, if the injectors are 1/2 pluged you have carbon build up just a
mess someone that has not taken care of anything only 1% is this bad.
Some of the additives make my car smoke less , some make it feel
faster. I can tell when I get higher cetane diesel it makes everthing
much smoother and faster.
Also most additives have a injector pump lube.
You may have to change your fuel filter after you try it
some time there is a varnish build it will clean out of the tank.
Only bad diesel will have a little build up, I think you have good
diesel. We have cheap diesel, cost and quality .
