totally agree with this.
These are TOAF injector readings the morning after I serviced the car. Filled a new fuel filter with Forte Diesel Treatment (
eBay LINK), after being recommended to try it on this site. Fill the fuel filter with it, start car, and run for 20-30 seconds. Switch off and leave to soak overnight. The next day, I took it for a bit of a run, and a little italian tune up (as much as an auto will let you lol). After, the car felt a little smoother, and a little more eager. I dont know how much of what I felt was a placebo, but the figures do show a little benefit to doing it.
I now change my fuel filter and use the Forte every service. The difference I feel now is not noticeable, but then that has to be expected if the Forte works. I did try the same method with Redex Fuel treatment neat in the filter - just to see if it would do the same job for less, but there was no difference in the numbers, unfortunately.
