What is diesel purge?

Removes deposits on injection nozzles and in the combustion chamber. Increases the cetane number. Eliminates engine operation problems such as knocking in idle and provides round and quiet engine running. Protects the entire fuel system from corrosion.

Is Diesel Purge any good?

It is highly effective against deposits in the injectors and in the fuel system. The risk of deposits increases when the quality of the diesel fuel is below optimum standards. Regular application of Diesel Purge helps to increase operational reliability and economy.

Can I put Diesel Purge in tank?

They are typically added to the old oil, then you idle the engine for 5-10 minutes without driving it. This gives the chemical solution time to solvate the sludge and draw as much of it as possible back into the oil. Then you change the oil and the engine sludge is removed along with the old oil.

What are the benefits of Diesel Purge?

Eliminates engine operation problems such as knocking in idle and provides round and quiet engine running. Protects the entire fuel system from corrosion. Optimizes the emission test values. Can also be used as a preventative measure.

Can I add diesel additive to a full tank?

The best time to add Power Service diesel additives is while you are filling up with fuel to ensure the quickest mixture of the additive to the fuel. However, the recirculation of fuel back to the engine means proper mixture will occur regardless of the time the product is added.

Do you have to bleed a diesel engine if you run out of fuel?

Running Out of Diesel

This is because diesel fuel is used to lubricate the moving parts these components have. As well as this, when you run out of fuel in a diesel engine you might need to bleed the system to get rid of the air before you can top it up again with diesel, which is a job for a specialist.

Why shouldn't you run out of diesel?

When you run low on diesel, your fuel pump might send air through your fuel system instead of gas. If that happens, your vehicle will shut down and not restart until the air is removed. This is called “bleeding” the fuel system, and depending on your machine, it can take several hours to complete.

If the EGR valve is heavily contaminated, it can no longer work properly, which leads to an error in the fault memory and the engine control light lighting up.

What's the fastest way to ruin a diesel engine?

One of the fastest was to kill a diesel engine is to run it on gasoline. Depending on the fuel dilution rate (amount of gasoline added) and load factor, we'd see melted glow plugs to burnt pistons. How did we know gasoline was present? Drain the fuel out filters, pump and injectors.
