Fuel Aditives - are they really worth it?

Hi,
Just to provoke some controversy, I know a number of you religiously
use fuel additives, however is it really worth it?
How much do you end up spending on your Millers or whatever per
tank/per year?
What do you perceive to be the benefits?
Do you expect to actually benefit from the claimed improved pump life
during your ownership of the vehicle?
Personally I don't bother. I have tried a number of additives for a
tank or two and haven't really noticed any real difference. I do find
the car runs better on the BP Ultra fuel, but not significantly enough
to make it worth using it all the time.
I suppose it is slightly less of an issue for me now that I mainly run
biodiesel, but it would be interesting to hear your views.

Hi Julian
I don't bother with the stuff. I'll take the risk.
But I'm also going to run the risk with BeB's & a few other things - although with the former I'll reduce with an oil analysis
I call it "self-insurance"
Cheers

HDJ81 - That lives on the edge...
 
Hey Niall
Where do you get your oil or will you get your oil analyised.

Hey Niall
How much for the Amsoil and what grade are you thinking about.
I know of a few places that do the oil analysis in the UK but not here yet,
just thought you did.

Amsoil 5W30 HDD series 3000 heavy duty diesel oil - UK=A347.69/5ltrs (excl delivery to Ireland)

Wiping out the VAT just about covers the carriage

Hey Niall
Are you in a position to wipe out the vat.
Because at some stage I have to go to the Uk to get an exhaust and while im
there, well maybe I could pick up and save both of us the Vat and the
shipping.

Re VAT
Unfortunately not - get a buddy to sort it for me as a favour....
BTW the prices i gave you are only valid for 2 weeks - after which they go up by 18%
