Im interested to know whether diesel additives make any sort of difference to performance or consumption.
Does anyone use it regularly?

Not I.

I chuck 250ml of 2 stroke in per tankful.
Definately makes it quieter / smoother and possibly a little more mpg too,

When I first got my mondeo TDDI it was running like a bag of spanners, on recommendation from talkford i used a bottle of additive in 5L of diesel (so about 5-10x recommended strength) and fed it directly from the can. It Kicked up a huuge cloud of foul smoke, then subsequently ran better (although still very agricultural by today's standards). So yes in that instance it made a difference. ;D
I've never used it as recommended on the bottle though :D

I used to put approx. 300ml of 2 stroke into every tankful on my old DTi

100% Spry crisp & dry goes in mine. I wonder if a litre of extra virgin olive oil per tankful would make it run smother ? ;D

Its currently running on a very sweet smelling Tandoori flavoured oil. Makes people in cars behind me hungry apparently. ;D

I wonder what that would do to a DPF? ;D

Pump would, give up, then injectors' block, O dpf would be knackered.

Yep. Modern diesels are fragile and shite. :)

According to OOF wisdom that's what happens every 1000 miles regardless of what you run a modern diesel on ;)

But it is correct for a modern diesel if running on vegetable oil as is considering the diesel magic trick on a common rail setup..

Now would that be, the fill, the filter and housing with said product and start.

Indeed it would, takes out the high pressure pump :y

I used to have a customer who owned a kebab shop who was quite happy to let me take the waste oil.
Used to stick it on the roof of the shed in the sun for a month until the oil and fat had separated then it went into the tank of the panzer (my old 2.5 td estate)
I was sat at some traffic lights one day when a couple of traffic coppers pulled up along side of me, tapped on the window and asked for fish and chips twice before driving off laughing ::)
Got to admit, I shit myself because it was sign written up at the time 8)
VAT avoidance and all that ;D

Nothing to worry about. Its perfectly legal, as long as you don't use more than 2500 L per year. ;)
