Diesel fuel additives for modern diesel.

[Transporter]

Every time I met Morey's rep, I asked if the Morey's Diesel Smoke Killer was approved for use in CRD diesel with the DPF and finely Morey's updated their document on the net. The bottles in the shops won't probably mention the DPF but it is now in their data sheet. Morey Oil lubricant product details - MOREYS DIESEL SMOKE KILLER

So, I can finally start using it in our CRD TDI's wit the DPF.

Have been using it my DPF equipped PD for a while now

I've recently been using Fuel Doctors in my non DPF diesel but have been wondering if to use it in my new Golf (PDF equipped).

I have nothing against using additives, and have used many over the years but really wonder when you read claims like " can increase power up to 10 HP " I just see this as an invitaion for ridicule.

Obviously dont need the smoke killing feature with the DPF, but the other claims sound usefull.

Anything that helps to burn diesel with less soot, will extend the life of DPF and can save you $$$ in long run.

I use Morey's in my Tdi following recommndations from different diesel forums about its qualities especially algae inhibitor. It does seem to make the engine run smoother with a bit more kick when freshly added to the fuel. Use it with every tankful nowadays

How much do you add to per full tank?

[Transporter]

I think that bottle treats 600L of diesel. There is a scale on the side of the bottle. I usually put a bit more in, it doesn't hurt.

[maxrob200]

50ml treats 50 litres. I fill up a 50ml squeeze bottle and put it in the boot in a container and squirt it in the tank before each fill so I get a measured dose every time

[Frankenstrat]

Thanks Transporter & Maxrob200.

Yeah that's great news, will have to try some while the DPF remains....

[ForceFed]

Must try this also.

With modern diesels is this still recommended and if so who stocks it

[benough]

Sweet. My wife's 07 Jetta is like an Elizabethan chimney atm. But I do like burying people in a cloud of soot

[Greg Roles]

Big fan of Moreys smoke killer, and Fuel Doctor or similar every ten thou or so.

Sounds like your Jetta injectors are dirty Ben.

Co-incidentally I had my baby in for it's 105,000 km service today. I asked the guys to check the DPF reading for me and it came back as ".06L, max being 0.46 ALL OK". I presume that translates to grams somewhere in there. Going back through my log book/chart I see that I first started with "Fuel Doctors" at about 18,000 km using a regular dosage and then at 28,000 km I did my first "shock treatment". At 37,000 km I changed to Moreys DSK but still do a regular "shock treatment" with FD, normally with the fill after a service ( just as a routine so I don't forget). The car still pulls like a train, and as long as don't plant my right foot ALL the time it gives good economy. I am no expert on these DPF's but I think my reading is pretty good, please advise me if I am wrong.
