Millers Diesel Power Ecomax

[JTaylor2005]

Alright guys,

Any of you guys ever used this stuff? Seems brilliant since I put it in. Very quiet and the idle is perfect now
5 tank fulls in one bottle

Got a link? I've been debating trying one of these type additives.

[Pompey306mark]

does it work out cheaper than just using a fuel that already has additive in?

[JTaylor2005]

Yeah quite a bit cheaper I think.

Hmm, £10.50 on trade, might have to grab one to try.

Cheers!

sounds like a mix of ethanol and 2stroke oil.

[JTaylor2005]

Whatever it is it made a much more noticeable difference than 2 stroke did

[luke306rallye]

I've used this in my mk4 golf and it made the mpg improve straight away.

[toseland]

tbh i just pop a tny bit of non ashing 2stroke in it, does, or seems to do exactly the same thing

[JTaylor2005]

I thought that would work but I noticed very little difference with low ash 2-stroke. Don't get me wrong it quietened the rattle of the injectors a tiny bit but did nothing for smooth idle, smoke, or poke. This stuff seems to have made a more noticable change. Maybe something to do with the cetane boost which is about 30% of the mix. (Found the MSDS data sheet haha of the old stuff. Presume it will probably be the same for this one or very similar)

Have used this in the past in the xud - happy to report I didn't notice a difference at all

[JTaylor2005]

Doesn't suprise me tbh. Different engine styles could have different effects though tbf.

Sounds like bongo-bongo magic super bullshit juice to me!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the "injector rattle" is nothing to do with the noise of the injectors, it is purely combustion noise from excessive pilot injection. Stop trying to add magic potions to quieten it down, if you want to stop it, get the pilot injection quantity turned down in your map.

I've used it for nearly 3 years now.... not religously but I normally have two or three bottles a year and it does seem to be perkier when used. Put it in the Alhambra too and its quietened that right down, sounded really lumpy when I first got it a few tanks later ticks over nice and smooth now. Could it be the placebo effect? Probably but I'd rather put a dash of it in every now and then especially when using supermarket fuels but over other additives Millers do seem to base their claims on actual sciences so I'm happy paying for it every now and then... especially over Redex.

[madmadmax]

first time i used it it stoped my injector rattel can't say much more than that

^ This. Only thing that stopped my injector rattle was changing from 062 to 073 injectors (supposedly newer?). 


Fuel system cleaner can only clean what is dirty, if your fuel system was clean to start off with, it won't do anything.
