Top Tip of the Week

[Olazz]

Well you all know that I put a full tank of petrol in my diesel and it ran for a couple of miles before cutting out, last week. Drained and filled with Supermarket diesel (nearest station) and added 500ml 2 stroke.

My truck normally returns 23mpg on top quality BP/Shell fuel: readings taken from the inbuilt computer constantly measuring MPG

Well I've done a full tank of diesel and the computer reads 26.3mpg with cheap Supermarket fuel.

To improve overall mpg, fill your diesels with Petrol first and run till engine dies; drain, flush, replace fuel filter and refill with correct fuel;

Voila !​

Anything over 25mpg in a 100 is pretty good going IMHO. I suppose the filter changes may have helped. Do you normally add 2 stroke?

maybe you just flushed out some minor blockages .

Nope don't add 2 stroke to every fill, but about every 5 fills.
