Millers Oils offers diesel owners a safe route to reduced fuel costs

Despite the recent fall in fuel prices, consumer budgets remain under pressure. Millers Oils’ Diesel Power Ecomax is helping motorists reap the performance and fuel economy benefits of premium fuel blends, while lowering the cost of their fuel bills.

“Diesel Power Ecomax suits all modern engines, even those with particulate filters (DPFs) that meet the latest emissions standards,” said Millers Oils technical director, Martyn Mann. “Over the past couple of years, we have seen a rise in the purchases of high performance fuels, as customers recognise the fuel economy and performance benefits they have. Our additive provides a safe, cost-effective alternative to premium fuels, supplying the improved performance and engine cleanliness motorists are looking for.”

Added to the fuel at the rate of one part per thousand (1ml per litre), Diesel Power Ecomax boosts the Cetane number of the fuel by up to 4 points, and cleans away the carbon deposits that can build up imperceptibly over time, improving combustion and engine cleanliness. The result is smoother, quieter running with less combustion noise and reduced hydrocarbon (HC) and CO2 emissions.

“The additive is a balanced formulation, including detergency and lubricity improvers, that works in harmony with standard fuels, even those containing Bio-diesel, to progressively clean and protect the fuel system,” explained Mann. “Fuel injectors remain cleaner for longer, fuel pump wear is reduced and the whole system is better protected against corrosion.”

The improvement in combustion efficiency from using Diesel Power Ecomax is responsible for the quieter, cleaner operation, but the benefits noticed by most drivers are the improved fuel economy and livelier throttle response, particularly at low engine speeds, according to Mann. “People tell us they’ve felt the difference by the time they’ve used half a tank treated with the additive, and when they next fill up, the numbers confirm the fuel savings,” he said.
