Been reading up on this today as it happens. Someone mentioned it on here a while ago, and sung it's praises. Writeups seem to back up that it's the mutts. Not cheap but apparently far superior to the stp stuff and the like.

Thought you had some mates on camp?  They could get you 5ltr to bung in, it cleans out injectors very well, no smokey smokey come MOT time.

Avtur...would you add it as a fuel additive or could you run a diesel engine on Avtur?

How and why does it clean out the injectors?

Are these fuel additives ok to use on PD engines though?
