    I've used many different diesel fuel additives and only one lived to its name,
    "Diesel Engine Smoke Killer" by Moreys.

    Here is another one I forgot to mention I've used it for long time in my MB Vito 108 CDI and 112 CDI. I never saw any smoke behind me in the mirror. May be that’s why I noticed it when I swapped for VW T5. It was embarrassing to accelerate a bit faster from traffic lights. I didn't use anything in the fuel at the beginning. Old friend of mine reminded me the product, which is Pro-Ma DT5plus. Link to their site:

    http://www.pro-masystems.com.au/prom...x%3fTabId%3d86

    If it happens that you would look at their other performance product I've a good experience with DT5 Plus, MBL8, MBL3, Puncture sealant, Waterless car wash Maxi clean and their grease, which I'm still using. I wouldn't use their PT5 plus (judging from my customers feed back which is 4 years old when I stopped using their products except the grease.
    I will try their DT5 Plus diesl additive again in VW diesels and post a comment.

    Apparently those in tank fuel thingos make a difference. They stop the engine blacking the oil too from what i've seen, so they obviously improve the charge burn....


    I've got some 100% CH3NO2 if anyone's game enough to try that as an additive..

    An energy drink for your diesel engine.
    These could be worthwhile to test, so I bought them at Supercheap Auto today on sale with 20% off strore wide.

    Could also be used for fast Vans.

    Curious to know how you go. I have been watching smoke out the back in headlights behind at night using BP Ultimate. (Now I have to go back to standard + Morey's smoke killer to see if there is a difference.)

    I understand LiquiMoly has an very good reputation. Looking at the ingredients in MSDS (MSDS is a good place to look for clues when the packaging is sometimes bare of ingredients lists.) I also recall a high price per tank when I was looking at them on the shelf months ago...

    Speed Tec Diesel ("more than a cetane booster") has:
    Naphtha (petroleum), hydrodesulfurized heavy 60 - 100%
    Solvent naphtha (petroleum), heavy arom. 10 - 30%
    Polyolefin polyamine succinimide 1 - 10%
    Fatty acid alkanolamine, polyol 1 - 5%
    Benzene, mono-C4-9-alkyl derivs. 1 - 5%

    Other diesel products http://www.liqui-moly.com.au/product3.htm below.

    Anti-Knock Plus (reduces clatter and increases cetane - how it does the first other than by the second is unclear; has nitrate cetane improver)
    Naphtha (petroleum), hydrodesulfurized heavy 60 - 100%
    2-Ethylhexyl Nitrate 10 - 30%
    Solvent naphtha (petroleum), heavy arom. 1 - 3%

    Diesel Purge plus:
    Naphtha (petroleum), hydrodesulfurized heavy 60 - 100%
    2-Ethylhexyl Nitrate 3 - 10%
    Benzene, mono-c4-9-alkyl derivs. 0.1 - 1%
    2015 Polo Comfortline 6M + Driving Comfort Package
    2011/11 Yeti 103 TDI 6M + Columbus media centre/satnav
    (2008 MY09 Polo 9N3 TDI retired hurt hail damage)

    Ohh come on, Russ.. We haven't set fire to anything so far!





    I'm tempted to try that additive. Hmmm. Would like to know a bit more about it first though.

    I use Moreys Diesel Smoke Killer every time I fill up. It works for me.
    I bought:
    Moly Speed Tec Diesel to see if it really improves acceleration and improves consumption.
    Anti-Knock Plus to see, if it does anything better than Moreys Diesel smoke killer. I will put the Anti-Knock Plus in the fuel next week and post the comment when I use the tank.
