Shell v power diesel

Post by Skutch »

Is any one using the shell v power diesel. I've been using it for a month now trying to work out the mpg factor. It cost 7p a litre more than the normal diesel in my area. Do you think that the older diesel engine will benefit from using v power or would it be better to fill up using standard diesel and adding a diesel injector cleaner to it?

why not just fill it with normal diesel without any additives? or have you got money to waste :shock: you could even run it on chip fat, like we do.
