Diesel Fuel Additive

Im chemical injector cleaning is frowned upon in diesels..particularly in modern common rail diesels.

There are some known good additives but cleaning injectors is not the aim.

The single best thing you can do for your diesel engine is a couple of good long highway runs that contain a couple of good range pulls.......think in terms of 4 hours pluss.

If you are lopking for a diesel adittive for other purposes.....fuel doctor is one of the best for fuel condition and knocking down diesel bug.

For improving lubricity, two stroke oil at 200:1 is very hard to beat.

If you have a common rail diesel, be carefull what two stroke you use and read up on it first.

there are a couple of good threads..one on 4wd action and another on ausfish........there is plenty of information on diesel in two stroke out there......Google two stroke in diesel and there is about a weeks quality reading.

cheers

Not making any recommendations but Toyota sell a diesel additive that says it is suitable for CR diesels

owned a automotive spare parts shop for 21years tried them all will say fpc from procus lubricants was head and shoulders over the rest. it is the only one i would use..now i buy from minchinbury spares 0296252800 talk to ray.....tom

Hi Scot, You have to wonder why vehicle manufactures dont add "power up' systems. They would consider all the problem you are experiencing. They probably are not really legal with emmisions more than likely way outside the Euro standard for the vehicle the unit is fitted to. Engine longevity would also be a concern when pouring excessive fuel into the engine to obtain more power than the engine is designed for. I'm not out to give you a hard time, just a thought when I read you post. regards Michael

Thanks for the input guys!! I might check out what toyota has to offer... Might be alittle on the expensive side being a genuine product but i presume they wouldnt offer crap...

Tow something really heavy, for say 2-3 hrs, work the thing really hard, without a heavy right foot, (ease the right foot, and use the gears) and you may well blow all that crap out of the motor.

Apparently the thing to remember with those V8 motors, and the gearbox set up, is they never really work hard enuf to "blow out" all the gunk. So you have to do that bit for them, by getting into them., a little bit more.

They do go hard though

ps... if you ever want to swap motors with my GU 11 4.2 TD Poootrol, just let me know

When ever my cruiser gets a bit rattly in the mornings I feed a bottle of toyota diesel injector cleaner in the tank. Seems to do the trick.

Also I have been putting two stroke oil in the tank now for 4 years with no problems. 200:1 - I am at 135 000 kms .
