I nearly always use a branded fuel and millers diesel power ecomax. The diesel "rattle " is definitely quieter with it in.

The main reason I use it though is for lubrication of the pump and workings. I know diesel is an oil of sorts but, it was explained to me that these low sulphur fuels are "drier " than the fuels of just a few years ago.
A few years ago our 12 month old VW up, wouldn't start.
I phoned my local garage where I have been going for years, he said that he was pretty sure he knew what it was. He turned up and tapped the fuel pump a few times and hey presto it started. He told me about the low sulphur fuels causing problems with fuel pumps sticking, far more common than you would think apparently. Since then the 75 gets the millers, and the petrol car gets the petrol equivalent once a month.
