Re: Fuel treatment(might be the right word?).
I did that with the SV and it hurt quite a lot.
Also with the XJ there's the spigot thing on the filler cap which leads this to be ineffective

Re: Fuel treatment(might be the right word?).
The stuff in the link looks more like a detergent (dispersant) than a co-solvent (like IPA) from the amounts and the way they say you can use it in diesel or gasoline (in between the pseudo-science, or BS as it's also known). Waste of time as already said. There isn't really much you can do to the fuel to make it "better".

Nah, I've got a load from work but hardly ever use it.
Gave fallout some when he was trying to dry out an old car. |

Re: Fuel treatment(might be the right word?).
I read that pump (ultra low sulfur) diesel is a p*ss poor lubricator compared to ye olde diesel due to environmental concerns leading to less and less heavy oil fractions and sulfur in there.
I wouldn't be surprised to find some truth in it.

Re: Fuel treatment(might be the right word?).
Dont know about ultra low sulphur but that was certainly true about the switch from leaded to unleaded petrol.
