Forte diesel treatment
« on: 28 April 2008, 11:45 »
Hello peep's.
I'm thinking of getting some of this stuff ^^^^^ where's the best place to buy it? or is there another type product to use?
I'm getting pretty poor mpg av 45mpg on a 301 mile trip  :shocked: used half a tank of derv!! i was hoping for at least 50mpg  :wink: i know my car is heavier than a manual being an auto/tip, or am i expecting toooooooo much?  :drool:

Cheers.

Dubbz.  :cool:

2002 TDI se 100bhp-ish Auto/tip Black Magic. :cool:

i've heard good things about Forté not used it myself though.

best place is ebay as its meant to be trade only so you'll probably not find it elsewhere.

45 mpg is pretty low, might be worth checking your air filter and hoses for any leaks too

Get Forte from Ebay - i found some for about £5 per bottle so don't pay silly prices  :wink:

i put half a bottle through every 5K or so; not sure if it helps as i do fill up with Total Excellium which is supposed to do a similar thing - clean the fuel system.
