Pampering your workhorse: A RUN DOWN ON DIESEL ADDITIVES AND WHAT THEY CAN DO FOR YOUR ENGINE

摘要

WITH A MACHINE as complex and important as a diesel engine, it's no wonder there are lots of different products on the market to "enhance" the work it does. In general, the purpose of diesel additives falls into one of three categories: extending thelife of the engine, maintaining fuel quality or improving efficiency, all of which translate to improved performance and, hopefully, a little savings. "If you're running a diesel, you should be running an additive," says Michael Bidyk of DSG Power Systems. The all around product Bidyk recommends is DSG's 4+ Premium additive.
