The only fuel system cleaner I use is Forte, you can get Forte Diesel treatment - it is a one use cleaner and not an addative despite how its name might suggest.

I usually put it in with lowish fuel and give the car a good thrashing, often improves things. WHich reminds me, prbably should put one in mine!

I use it on all HDis, its full of lubrication (unlike many fuel system cleaners) and works a treat. In fact, when I do a fuel filter change I fill the fuel filter housing with this Forte. It stopps the need for the car to prime the fuel as it can run on this neat and also works its best.

It can be found on ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from= ... Categories" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

+1 for Forte products. I use it for engine flushes and also injector cleaning on both petrol & diesel cars.
