Has anybody else tried it ?
I put some in last thursday and the difference is really noticable, Smoother and more power, dont know about MPG as that bit more power makes you want to use it Laughing

basically the same as octane improver for petrol, so on low cetane fuel like bio, should be quite effective Question

I didnt notice the difference at first, it must be a gradual thing as it cleans the injectors etc aswell, but when I got in the next day it was very noticable Very Happy

Not cheap though Crying or Very sad

£12 worth does 500 litres of fuel unless you double the amount Laughing

Thats it, i'm using it all the time, I thought it may be a placebo effect but I took one of the kids out earlier (who didnt know)
And he asked why the car was quieter Very Happy

Doing some research and found that Diesel is roughly 51 cetane, bio 53 cetane and this stuf raises that by 4, the 3.1 needs 49 or above to run properly.

What are you using Mark? I've been using the Millers stuff, and convinced it's improved performance, noise and smoothness.

I have been using Millers and am totally convinced that there is more power and it runs smoother.
Will continue to use it
Cheers

So what could this do for me running 40% veggie oil?
The vegie oil quietens the engine and gives it more power, but surley i have lowered the cetane by adding veggie oil? Could this stuff improve on that? If so, where do you get it from?

Cheers

Most motor factors, even Halfords. Not sure, but is some of this alternative fuel higher in cetane anyway?

Your not wrong. Propper bio is higher in cetene than regular deisel.
