The diesel lubricates the fuel pump and after trying a few additives I wouldnt waste my money on them again, did absolutely nothing for the way the car ran, drove and made to difference to fuel consupmtion.

Well if your sure about trying one the FORTE desiel treatment gets good reviews on another forum I go on but I think most of them dont do a thing to help. What's the car, age, engine and mileage ?

I have a 2004 TDCI and nothing has made any difference and the real bitch is that I have a mate who works on TDCI's every day and he told me it would be a waste of time ! I wish I'd listened to him and saved the money and now I just give it a good old italian tune up once or twice every tank of fuel and she's as sweet as a nut
