Hi All,
When I was researching diesel fuel system cleaning a thought occured to me. What makes a good diesel system cleaner? Everyone seems to be of the understanding that in a petrol cleaner, PEA is king. The more the better from what I can see online.
However in diesel system cleaners I can't find a similar agreement on an ingredient that is just known to actually work.
One thing I notice in a lot of them is 2-EHN (Cetane booster) and I am begining to wonder whether these cleaners don't actually do much other than "boost" the cetane for the period that they're in the tank. Whether that then has any lasting effect (From a tank of cleaner burning fuel) or whether it's a placebo who knows?
What are people's thoughts on this? Does anyone have any links to genuine tests where a diesel vehicle has seen a marked improvement from one of these cleaners (Not just while it's in the tank and actively burning it, but afterwards as well).
Cheers!
