V Power Diesel
snezza69:
How would using V Power Diesel (SHELL), or a competitors equivalent effect my emissions?
I ask as during its last MOT, it failed slightly!
mark.yellow.series.3:
put half a gallon of petrol in a full tank of diesel, that cleans the emmisions up.
never had to do it my self, but the gypsies do it apparently.
(dont blame me if you engine blows up :lol: )

It probably wont help you, as these new "cleaner" fuels work gradually and are more preventative than cure.
You have one of 2 options, the first is an additive like redex, 20l of fuel and about 4x the reccomended amount of redex followed by a hundred miles of thrashing will clean it out nicely, the other thing to use is acetone, 100% pure and itll clean it out a treat, you only need about 120ml per tank and it will (in theory) increase the fuel economy by upto 15%, more than that ammount acts as a really good cleaner and it helps the emissions as it makes the diesel burn cleaner :)

Oh BUM, I put 1 tub of REDEX in a full tank and thrashed it a bit on the German Autobahn, I wish I had put some more in now!

How safe is this? the engine has 170,000 on the clock and where do I get it?
