Who uses ‘V-Power Diesel’....

[Gazwould]

Which is why lubricity additives are included at the refinery. Simply no need for 2-stroke oil in diesel and not recommended for modern diesels.

More about improving the Cetane number for me , in my Internet infancy well before I ever took a screen shot I came across a multiple Cetane booster comparison and the correct type of
2-stroke did out perform some of the so called Cetane boosters .

So how do you explain my halving of smoke opacity using 2T in my 1.9 PD in 2015 ?

6 years use in the 1.9 PD
and
3 years in the 2.1 CR OM651
and counting .

I wonder how these results would compare to 6 years and 3 years (respectively) of using premium fuels instead.

But of course, the 2T alternative is cheaper... I'll give you that.

You’ve mentioned multiple times that you add 2-EHN to your diesel and indeed it will boost the cetane resulting in quieter combustion due to reduced ignition delay.

If you or anyone else want to use 2-stroke oil in your diesel, knock yourself out.

Discussing differences in smoke tests carried out during annual MoT tests and pretending that has any scientific validity, is futile. You can believe that something meaningful is going on there if you want, but I’m not prepared to do so or discuss it further.

Nice to see the thread I started 2 months ago still going strong!

 

[Gazwould]

Nothing surprises me here anymore , like how threads can progress beyond 1K replies in no time at all .

Only in America...

No , UK Mercedes owners

When I looked deep and I mean down the rabbit hole , one thing I came to learn is the oil / fuel industry can be very secretive .

Are you implying that you looked deep down the rabbit hole of the oil and fuel industry but managed to learn nothing...?

 

[Gazwould]

There we have it , and why he have 1K threads....

 

[suty455]

Just another loudmouth with opinions untainted by the ability to think or reason and clearly goes through life with little to no thought about their impact on others.

From what I can see they have added nothing of value to the Forum and just get their kicks from trying to disrupt.

All in all, not worth engaging with

Well, given that they invest millions in R&D in order to develop products, processes and so on, it’s not surprising they protect their IP. Take a look at any company that develops IP and see how far you get.

At the same time, there are numerous examples of published works from the industry and numerous working groups that are often collaborative in order to develop best practice. Of course the conspiracy theorists come up with all sorts of suggestions of clandestine skulduggery, (which in my experience is total bollox).

So to some extent, I’d say a lot depends on what you’re looking for and what your expectations are.

What else can you expect from someone that behaves like this?

Arrogant, ignorant, passive aggressive posturing seems the norm for this type.

As said, all bluff and bluster online and wouldn't dare raise their voice in a face to face situation most likely.

Just ignore them and they can go back to their own safe little world. The Forum have seen the like before and they never last long.

Boom!

Don't know what that's for. The guy knows his stuff, I don't have a problem with that. That's why I asked if he was an expert or not. He said 2 stroke was not recommended & I would like to know the reason why.
Is it going to be a problem in the future or not. He did not elaborate, just said he has 25 years experience.

 

[geoffus]

yes went a bit off didnt it, actually to get back on track I do use it or BP but not texaco or supermarket fuels, our DPF issues with both Diesels we have started after filling up with cheaper fuels(Texaco) both cars do a lot of miles each week mines at least 500 most weeks and my Wifes is about 300ish hers flat broke down and refused to even attempt a clean or to rev past 1500rpm mine went into limp mode after trying to do a clean for an hour or so, I actually got quite worried at the temps coming from under the car to be honest, but yes Shells good stuff.

Really unlucky, I use cheap (less cost, not less quality) supermarket diesel for both my Mercs for 5 years now, BMW before that. To date no DPF issues. Last regen on my E250 showed 5% fill level. Guess I got lucky.

Interesting. Do you regularly do motorway or A-road driving? Does the DPF regenerate frequently? High annual mileage is good for DPFs, it's the short trips that kills them.

In which case petrols are a much better choice (for short journeys I mean)

Abolutly spot on however if am reading it right its only 70 odd thousand KM in total? DPFs are fine till in your case 160k then they start to fail and as I can do 2000k a Month it would soon mount up and in fact has, DPFs are really only a plaster over the wound, the design is in my view aimed towards driving Diesels off the roads and ensuring cars get swapped early.

Sigh am not the one reduced to personal insults honestly last comment and then your blocked because clearly you have some personal issues, an old comment that someone used on my forum about a similar user, "lick your fingers and taste the crap you type" and now your ignored because lifes too short to worry about imbeciles and idiots

 

[GeeJayW]

... DPFs are really only a plaster over the wound,

Kind of, though ICEs make particulates. You can’t see the really tiny ones because they are too small to reflect light in the visible spectrum, but they are still very harmful to health. Particulate filters are now required for direct injection gasoline engined cars too and are a useful tool for managing tailpipe particulate emissions in order to improve urban air quality. With DPF/GPF, particulate emissions from ICE cars are at similar levels to EVs, ie. down to whatever comes off tyres and brakes.

the design is in my view aimed towards driving Diesels off the roads and ensuring cars get swapped early.

Utter, nonsense.
