Diesel Fuel Lubrication - Bob Hayward
Having bought a new VW Transporter in September 2000 (X Reg) with a 2.5 TDI 102bhp engine I am concerned to read about the possible lubrication problems caused by using the 'wrong' type of diesel. Is there a potential problem with my particular engine and if so what fuel or additive should I use? Please put me out of my misery!

Hi HJ

On your recommendation I have been using the Millers product in my diesel Carlton for over a year. I seems to have increased MPG, It certainly keeps the engine cleaner, less smoke and flew through the Mot.

Why don't the oil companies include this type of additive in the fuel when they blend it?

On modern stuff, using normal pump diesel will be fine, IMHO.

We see very few pump (mechanical) failures these days.

Perhaps a shot of an additive every 3 months or so to keep things clean....
