Diesel fuel additives for modern diesel.

What's the difference with 'truck' diesel I see some Caltex outlets list?

It could possibly be referring to fuel bowsers designed for commercial and heavy vehicles, typically featuring larger diameter fuel nozzles and higher flow rates.

Hmmm, truck was at least 2c cheaper.

My best guess is that the fuel with the lower price is Caltex's regular diesel product, i.e. without the additional additives present in Vortex Diesel.

The Hi Flow diesel pumps at my local does not fit into the Passat.

Go to Ford dealer and get the small plastic funnel that fits over the pump nozzle. It comes /it was coming with the Focus TD cars.
It cost less than $10.

Funny that...it is the only way to put any additives at all into my Mondeo TDCi (with the plastic funnel)!
As Ford has the EasyFuel Capless Refuelling.

This is a great thread with some great info.
As I am no longer able to purchase CleenDiesel Additives I have moved onto the Morey's Diesel Smoke Killer.
I have also done some more research on easily accessible additives and it seems Flashlube is also available cheaply from Repco etc.
There seems to be some good info on their site. Has anyone had much to do with Flashlube Diesel Conditioner?

I don't have a time to record all data every time I connect the scanner to the vehicle, but in incoming months I will get some life data from those that use the additive all the time and to those who don't, incl. the DPF Cleaner in some TDIs. Of course it will be far from 100% accurate indicator whether it has any impact on the DPF, since many conditions will be different and I wouldn't know how the car was driven.
But, I can tell right now that my observation is, those who use it? Very rarely have any fuel related problems and sometimes are unaware that there are any DPF problems.

Looking forward to your results.

Thanks for the heads up
