Anyone seen that new Millers Diesel Sport 4 additive for sale?

[craig-pd130]

Advertised in the latest ish of Diesel Car, claims to actually boost throttle response & power, and give 4+ raise in cetane number.

Price £10 for 500ml, no info on dosage given tho'.

@ Devonutopia -- I think you have to add a BIT of diesel to it

[grq]

I shall purchase some, and in the name of product review I shall thoroughly test the stuff and let you all know the results...

Oh and no those aren't rain clouds in the horizon, it's just me

Its not a 1:1 ratio?

My last bottle of power plus is running out, so I shall make sure my local source is also stocking this new stuff as well.

Good spot.

seen this in last months VW driver, but when i checked the Millers oil site it wasn't there.£12.99 a bottle, hope its good.

 

[Craig Senior]

That looks tempting.

I might have to take a trip down to Millers at some point and make use of the Company account there.

 

[devonutopia]

Should be able to get that stuff for around a tenner from my local motor factors. I get the usual Miller's power plus stuff for around £8

 

[k4ith]

from millers direct its £9.89 incl vat, if you have a supplier near you.they come in boxes of 20(500ml bottles) i tried for a disc on a box but was advised i would need to purchase 5-10 boxes 1st. darn!

 

[EdButler]

Nooo! Only TODAY did i buy a fresh bottle of Millers Diesel Power Plus and now this comes out!

It says on the bottle you can double dose it though for eaxtra cleaning so in it goes doubletime

I saved £1 a bottle by buying a box of 10 (bottles) instead of individually. I would probably try that route again, and then shift the other 8 bottles to people on Briskoda.

 

[muddyboots]

Formulated to increase Diesel Cetane rating by 4 numbers resulting in significantly increased power output

That's quite a claim, I wonder what they mean by "significantly"....

Anyone know what the dosage is - is it the same as for Power Plus ?

 

[jonjay]

anyone tried it then?

 

[Craig Senior]

Look what I've got on my desk...........

Just been down to Millers to get it.
Back of bottle says:
Full measure treats 20 litres of fuel. Dilution ratio 1000:1

Treat at double strength for an extra boost!

Just need to go and get some derv to put it in now

 

[k4ith]

I spoke to the Millers oil tech dept yesterday and they were raving about the stuff, some indepenent Uni tested and adv boosts perf by 17.5%, big claims how much does the fuel tank hold ltrs wise? need to read the manuals.

While it might be good, I'd take 17.5% with a pinch of salt, can't see it taking the Passat from 175bhp to erm, hang on.... 205bhp, can you ?

Maybe they were getting it confused with VAT

So that treats 500 litres then, or roughly 10 Passat tankfuls...

 

[Nathanio]

Would really need 2-3 capfuls per fill up depending on emptyness of the tank. Not bad! Would like to hear results of peeps. Is this one more of a performance booster than an economy - cleaner thing like the other millers additive

sorry that was not the BHP, the overall effectiveness of the engine unit.

 

[devonutopia]

Looking forward to getting my hands on some. I still have another 6 or 7 tankfuls of millers power plus to use up first though.

 

[craig-pd130]

Well, even at double strength that's still 5 tankfuls, which makes the extra cost £2 per fill up, or about 4p per litre (2p per litre at normal strength)

Which isn't bad if it delivers ANY kind of performance increase!
