The Fuel Additives Thread

Try and find Elf DALF, use it sparingly at 40ml for every 40L, this is one of the few products that remove crud as well as carbon deposits from head. Use it sparingly on need to use basis and no more than 4000km gaps. If you can't find that, STP diesel injector cleaner is another product that truly cleans the cowebs off dirtly system.

i use 10 ml / 500 bucks worth diesel ~14.1L now . its a bit less than their recommended dosage.

I have purchased a new Santro in December 2008 so can i use the System G in my car as i read through this forum that in new car we should not use the System G.
Please suggest me as i have already purchased the same but still not use it.

greenhorn · 16th February 2009, 11:01

I'd suggest you wait until 1000~5000Kms to start using them

Raccoon · 16th February 2009, 20:20

What is the rationale behind not using System G for 1 - 5 K Km??

I suggest you start using it immediately, to keep your engine clean right from the begining!

greenhorn · 16th February 2009, 20:23

i thought a new engine would be clean in the first place

Raccoon · 16th February 2009, 23:25

Ya, so better to keep it clean to begin with...

Where in Bangalore can i buy System D??
I checked with BP stations, they dont sell system G, he said BPCL has stopped it.

Incase you do not get System G at fuel stations..check with the Ford dealers in Bangalore..they should have it.

Raccoon · 7th March 2009, 17:53

I'v seen it stocked at oil dealers and auto-spare parts shops also.

greenhorn · 7th March 2009, 18:08

and car acessories shops too. the pumps would rather sell Premium fuel than these additives

Guys
I have bought a used 4 month old swiftVDI(6400 kms).Can I fill xtrapremium or Hi-Speeed diesel or you guys recommend normal diesel? The experience filling premium diesel in my lancer is that the car is more smoother to drive.Here in cochin no pumps stock STP or other additives.Only sonax diesel treatment available in emperor.Should I use it in my swift?Please I need your suggestions..
Cheers

I dont think folks have seen much difference using system D on the MJD engine. It doesnt hurt to try though

I usually get System-G in the petrol pump (HP, I think) that's a stone's throw from Leela Palace on airport road. If they are stocking system-G, then they must be keeping the D variant also.
