Had the car at service bay today (MOT) and among the dozens of items in the parts dept display cabvinets were Fortran products (various cleansing/flushing additives).

One that caught my eye, was the diesel system treatment (or something of similar wording)

Has anyone used any of these products on a D5 engine?
Results?
Remarks?
etc?

TIA

Would it run on an old IBM?

I use Millers in every tank. Too soon to see if it makes much difference but the guys on several diesel forums swear by it!

Was it possibly Forte rather than Fortran?

I've used their Diesel additive and it got rid of a fair bit of the smoke which was coming out of my car on hard acceleration.

Available on ebay for about £10 delivered and it will treat two tanks worth of fuel.

Could have been forte .... swear it said fortran though, in space 1999 styley writing .... red writing, black bottles.

They were £10-£11 per bottle

Might give it a go ..... apparently the "fuel system 'flush' treatment" as the service guy said, is an option during a service, using the same stuff.

Used Forte diesel treatment many times - this stuff works wonders for cars that fail the emissions test :) Its a bit kinder than an 'italian tune up' but is expensive - £10 a bottle is cheap - it was £20 a bottle about 5 years ago! I'd run a bottle through before an MoT test if your car is the slightest bit smokey when you rev it hard in neutral.
