Question Diesel fuel additives

Does anyone here use any kind of fuel additives like:

Fuel conditioners?
Injector cleaners?
DPF Regenerators?

What's your experience with these?
Are any a worthwhile addition to ongoing maintenance??

I never use any additives but I always only use Shell V Power diesel. I have never had a problem with the DPF even when doing short journeys.

I have used Miller’s Diesel Power Ecomax on a number of diesel engines over the years, particularly for the first few fill ups after buying a second hand car.

These days, like Robbie, I use Shell V Power diesel. I have had no DPF issues.
