I dropped by a restorer house and asked him about my engine.
Spitting out oil out the exhaust pipes. Excessive oil usage. He suggested adding a bit of diesel fuel. Said it might help with removing carbon from heads,etc. Long story short: Car ran way way cooler at 75 MPH. Engine revved so smoothly up to any RPM. Whats the deal???. Topped up tank,now back to normal. I am a believer though,engine sounded like a new motor for a while. Anyway seems worth mentioning,was really surprised how my car could run. Cheers. |

We do here over in the French Alps -27 celcius no diesel additive works well enough to stop the diesel from waxing.( I live at 5500 ft) We add a litre petrol per full tank of diesel.

My Nissan Patrol 3 liter diesel has a 90 liter tank. Be careful when driving for a long time as the diesel gets warmer in the tank due to the return fuel. This is on top of using winter diesel safe up to -22 celcius. My fuel pick up filter in side the tank is to fine to handle the wax and the electric inline fuel heater doesn't get fuel due to the blockage, the same for my Webasto diesel heater for engine coolant.
