HDi fun

Oil treatments seem surprisingly popular with people in here!
There is a lot of anecdotal evidence that some of the additives work as claimed but few have had their claims tested by a truly independent body to confirm their advertised benefits.
I suspect that most additives are harmless. I also suspect that most additives are not beneficial either. Yet I do use fuel additives. Periodically. To solve a problem I don't have.
Do they work? I really don't know. My cars seem to work very well but that's also anecdotal.
I cannot prove a negative.
It's like being offered the opportunity to prove than one of twelve haystacks might not contain a needle.
I use additives to hopefully prevent a problem starting.
I would hazard a wild guess and say that you would have carefully researched the product used before it went into your tank
As far as fuel goes, the single best thing you can do for long-term performance is use Top Tier gas. (this is not advertising: Top Tier is an automotive industry standard, not a brand or manufacturer).

Race day fuels are a different matter.
that's a crying shame. I somehow got the idea it would be unilateral across the auto world. sorry folks, guess you'll have to resort to additives.only good if you live in canada usa or puerto rico from the info o that site
hi just notice your hdi fun, are you running a hdi at all, if so any mods etc...I wasn't suggesting that Fuchs is the best, or even the best for me. Just saying that I use it and it seems to work OK. I have previously used Shell, Castrol, Gulf, Mobil, MIllers, AMSOIL etc and they all seem to do the job required of them. I haven't yet had an engine failure.
