    Just so long as the HPFP gets sufficient lubrication.

      I would still say, regardless of standard, the most important thing is to be picky about the particular servo. Poor tank maintenance can mean water and particles.
      The multiple plaques at my local metro they keep at the counter giving them praise for fuel cleanliness is a winner in my book (althouhg i dont use their diesel in my new allroad with dpf - i do use it in my older one though)

        I have not tried BP Ultimate yet not many BP servos on my side of town, hopefully the BP takeover of the Woolies servos will change that). There is a Caltex near home and another near work, so we use Vortex Diesel in both of our TDIs.

        Woolies may be supplied by Caltex, but that does not necessarily mean that Woolies Diesel get all the extra additives that are in the Caltex Vortex Diesel. With the way Woolies deals with their suppliers it would not surprise me if Caltex get the cheapest supertanker of diesel coming out of Singapore that they can get away with (ie just meets standard) to supply Woolies to try to maximise their profit while leaving the better quality diesel for their own Caltex branded servos.

            If sulphur is a lubricant I'm worried if HPFP lubication is compromised by ultra low sulphur.

                  From my knowledge, sulphur is engine damaging, not beneficial. Less sulphur in fuel, less soot in dpf. Maybe this helps:

                  Long-term benefits projected from Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel fuel technology and diesel engine advances - Clean Diesel Fuel Alliance

                  As long as you don't run the fuel tank dry or accidently fill petrol in and run it, HPFP is safe.

                  Older diesel engines would benefit from additives to protect the fuel pump.

                    You can run the Peugeot dry as It covers how to prime using the priming button.
                    I would not try it though as I'd be worried about the HPFP running dry.

                      This is the one I use.
                      Fuel System Cleaner - CRD Fuel Enhancer | Cost Effective Maintenance
                      Mixing ratio is 10ml for 80 litres. I use it in my Tiguan & Golf. It last for ages, still on my first bottle.
                      One word of warning from the supplier is not to overdose.

                      For my T4 TDI & Mk1 Golf diesel I use 2 stroke oil in a ratio of 1/200.

                        My Ford has a PSA engine and only has a DPF with no AdBlue, Euro 5 compliant. I've only filled up BP diesel.
                        Installed a DPF level gauge in mine so that I know when I need to liberal with the throttle to get the temp up and make a regen happen (have a temp gauge for that as well so that I know it's doing it).

                        jets, have you ever had injector clicking? Did it reduce the noise of the clicking?

                          I have been using CRD Fuel Enhancer for years now so can't really say now what improvement in noise level there was. I have just come home with the Tiguan & popped the bonnet & sounds normal to me. As was mentioned on the My Turbo Diesel Forum, the CR runs more calmer than the PD engine in our Golf.
                          I use 2 stroke oil as an additive in the T4,MK1 Golf & Massey Ferguson tractor & they all run quieter.
