Anyone who uses anything other than diesel from a pump in a modern CR diesel is an absolute .. idiot...
And deserves everything they get.
Aircraft tolerances.. and then use chipfat!..
Crazy..
If it was a £500 banger.. that's a different story...
Oh look! I've saved £100 in fuel bills over the past 6 months and.. spent £3000 on new injectors and pump....

i agree with madf a diesel is a diesel
every oil has a purpose and engine oil is not designed to be burnt (except in a burning barrel)
the op should do the car a favour and keep the fuel clean of additives (destructives)

Can't see that 2 stroke would make much difference to diesel,in a 4 stroke petrol engine it may work like UCL,as long as there is no cat.to damage.

All i'm trying to achive is add to the lubricity of the fuel to reduce wear & certainly not suggesting adding chip fat as someone has deduced.
Regarding Millers, it's surposed to help clean the injectors, so that suggests to me some sort of solvent. I don't know what the advantage of BP Ultimate is supposed to be, I would assume more power, so may not mean more lubricity. Biodiesel is a green thing, i'm all for green, thats one reason I run a diesel. But wheather bio is a better lubricant I don't know.
My Hdi does have a particle filter & I guess the added oil would add to the particles slightly.
It might mean cleaning it at 40k instead of 50k, but just a 2 hour job so I can live with that.

I tend to think of the thousands of hours of research that has gone into common rail fuel injection systems, fuel development and the British Standards that ensure the fuel is suitable.
injection system and derv compatability ensured by all this research, development and testing.
In my cars handbook theres a BS spec for the derv to use. That spec is written on the fuel pumps at service stations. Thats all my fuel system is going to get.
Re * Bio Diesel* theres a thread somewhere about some using this. Some were OK but one Gent had his car chug to a halt after 4 miles and a new fuel injection system was needed. I suspect this may have not been to a BS standard ? But again why use it if its not the spec in the cars handbook?
Regarding being *Green* Seeing China`s massive output of Co2 and the UK`s running at 2 per cent of the worlds total I have no thoughts of putting even biodiesel into the tank and risking a £3.000 injection system.
IMHO the crude oil from which Derv is refined is going to get burnt one way or another anyway. If its not used by being refined into diesel, it will just be burnt in many other ways, such as in Electricity generation, here or in developing nations.
We just got back from a trip to the Philippines and there are enormous diesel engine barges generating electricity. Any Derv saved by the west using a little biodiesel will simple get burnt of into the atmosphere there and in other similar locations.

Followed an elderly VW punping out clouds of smoke;then I noticed the "Save the Whale"& "Atomkraft-nein danke* " stickers.(*Nuclear energy-no thank you).

Regarding Millers, it also states on the bottle that apart from cleaning the injectors, it also lubricates the pump, i've used it in every tankful for 40,000 miles and its been fine.
