I've been wondering for years if powerservice lucas or fttp (fuel power or something little white containers claims polar bonding)
i've used powerservice for about 5 yrs the white and recently the grey in my 3 VW idi diesels i noticed it still had carbonization on the injector seats and internaly a little still.. but then after reading chevron's detailed info sheet on fuel additives it denotes IDI diesel's cetane booster and basicly any additive is useless.. i've not seen any difference in fuel economy or anything or noice from any i've ever used except REDLINE's 85+ once i used it at there cleaning dose in the wintertime and it helped when i lived in nashville and the temp dipped realy cold once had hard time cranking added it let it sit for about 20 minutes while shaking the car (my neighbors were like huh?) got in fired up about minute later after it had pumped up to the injector pump.. my only experiance with some product seeming to make difference. The funny thing is there test equipment is a 1.6L vw IDI diesel for emmissions testing in ca.
The funny thing is no additive company will send u hard proof of there testing or claims.. I'd say 90% of it is smoke i do think therez some crappy diesel out there not around where i live but some these truck stops rinky dink.. but i figured it up the other day it's 300 gallon @ 40mpg is 12,000 miles or 1 gallon an hr for the tractor that's 300 hrs.. that's about a year and 3 years respectively for me.. so it's 10 bucks a year or 3 bucks a year.. for something that may or may not help.. but can't hurt if u buy major 3 brands..
