« on: Jan 31, 2016, 07:50:11 PM »
Does anyone use this fuel additive "responsive"?

Diesel has come along way in the last 10 years , vortex have additives to prevent foaming which 1 makes it easier to fill you tanks and 2 not foul your injectors

Vortex diesel isn't the same as petrol as it doesn't change to centan value ( like Ron 98/91) so it's not going to give you more power just the additive to clean / stop foaming

Unless you live in a high humidity area. Most will be just another con (like Hiclones etc)  to grab your money.

New/newish car. CRD modern diesels with additives.
Caltex.BP.Shell etc.  Just run car as normal and (myself) I drop a container of injector cleaner in there around every 5 tanks or so.
Most will have some algicides etc built into them as an additive to an additive.

Stanadyne or Red Line top of list but have to import I think?.
I use Nulon.?  Who knows.

BP advertise at the pumps that their fuel will clean your  fuel system out in a coupla tanks.

Looks like we wasting lots of money hey.
I'll still stick with my 5000km  injection cleaner thank you.

Hi All
I've tried a search without success on fuel additives.
Does anyone add anything to their fuel or a regular or occasional basis and for what reasons?
I have a 2015 MU-X LST that has done only 17000km and saw a product in the latest SCA catalogue called Chemtech Diesel Power and it made me wonder if additives are necessary.
Any thoughts happy to hear
