Diesel additive

I wonder what could be different? Higher price tag?

Some people wouldn't buy something like that unless it said it was for "common rail", "Nissan patrol" or "real men". And it has the potential to be similar to panadol / nurofen where it purported to offer "targeted relief" for say the thumb on your left hand.

Overall, I suspect (warning: unqualified opinions here!) the major thing it does is amalgamate the water evenly through the fuel. This means the bacteria won't grow in the fuel. And if that's the only thing it does for me I'm happy. 180L of diesel has the potential to last two days or almost a month before I use it all.

the chemtec stuff tests as one of the best additives for diesels. their petrol version is rubbish. repco brand is nulon which is better than Wynns garbage. if used constantly it does keep the fuel system clean. not really good for cleaning. some also boost the cetane rating.

They are actually the same price as the one prior without the "common rail" label. Hence another reason I didn't notice until later on, when I looked at the bottle.

hi guys,
I'm a new comer on the forum... so a bit late to the show
Is adding 2t oil to the diesel will help prolonging engine life?

The jury is still out on that one. Some believe in it (myself, three dogs and others), some say its a myth and doesn't do anything. I believe the engine is quieter and quite means less wear. There is no conclusive study that I know of.

Thanks 4bye4,
at least it doesn't hurt and I 'd rather go safe than sorry...

If all the Flashlube Diesel Conditioner additives have Common Rail on the label then I think it would be just labelling as ET suggests. Just a case of moving with the times.
