Alpine Diesel Additive

There is a couple I believe.
Our Tech Officer at the Toyota Landcruiser club spoke of it last meeting.
Buggered if I can remember makes models or brands????????

Must be Altzheimers (spelling) catching up with me.

I will have to ask next meeting if nobody else can tell us.

Why not buy Alpine Diesel?

Agree with Truckster - but if you have a load of diesel onboard and are worried about it - just add a couple of cups of kerosene - has a similar effect.

Rooooboy
The following reasons are worth consididering as a positive thing about adding the additive to your fuel before you go.

1. Able to ensure potentially better quality fuel by purchaing from a large retailer with bigger volume turnover as opposed to small country servo who may hold fuel in tanks for longer period. (Potential Higher risk of contamination)

2. Metro fuel generally cheaper per litre than country. Additive is cheaper per litre than premixed alpine fuel.

3. By adding the additive in Melbourne and allowing it to move through the fuel system it will coat all the inside workings of the fuel system allowing proper protection of the system before it gets to colder climate.

4. By carrying the additive you can ensure that you are in a position to add to any further fuel that you may purchase during trip. Negates having to locate retailer who stocks Alpine Mix.

5. Advice that we have received from Toyota Landcruiser Club was to purchase product additive from Toyota Dealer as it was the better quaility stuff.

6. Buggered if we can remember the name of the stuff. Ask Toyota dealer.

P.S. She's the one who could remember all the stuff I couldn't.

Hi Guys & MG
I think it was the "Toyota Diesel Fuel Conditioner" don't know how good it is as a substitute for the Alpine fuel.
At Mansfield ( Vic) I think its always Alpine summer & winter but I stand to be ccorrected.

Cheers

My son works at a deisel injection place and he tells me that they have been advised that the winter deisel (West Vic) will only be 2degrees C this winter, not the lower temp they have had before.
Why, dunno, may cost but his boss is expecting to increase his turnover from this as we get minus temps in winter so keep the wagon under cover if possible or cover it up.
