Diesel fuel additives

[Transporter]

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:

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..

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%

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.
