Everytime I put my foot down, the car behind gets smoked by black clouds!

Am I supposed to be putting some sort of fuel/engine/tank cleaner in? Ive never had a diesel before so have no idea. Any suggestions fellow die hard diesellers?

Ahh nice one mate! How very kind you are! :D

Whats it do then? Does it stop the black smoke?

...kinda thought it looked cool, James Bond style, then I saw a car in front of me doing it, and thought it was falling to bits! :oops:

it just cleans out your fuel system. improves the cetane rating (derv equivalent to octane) in the fuel (when the cleaner is added). your tuning box will be the main culprit of the smoking as they usually over-fuel. this causes alot of soot/black smoke. i noticed it helped a little in mine. your lucky i looked at this thread as the meggy is going tonite and was going to let him have the fuel cleaner :lol: :wink:
