Do diesel aditives work

Over in Europe and the USA fuel aditives a big business. They are used to reduce pollution and for fuel economy. Most will improve engine performace and reduce service cycles. Sadly many of the aditives on the market are not worth the money but some are real gems.
I have been involved in studies overseas. the latest are returning 11% savings over several vehicles. In marine use savings up to 20% are not unusual.
In Australia we have been exposed to many bad ones or in some cases scams. However with a little homework the better ones can be found.
One of the arguments for not using them is the hasle of measuring them out. There now exist several automated dosing systems.
In most cases with the dosing systems and additive the RIO is measured in weeks or months. Most of the addives will exceed 6% in net savings alone.
Feel free to email me for further information
Kind Regards
Mark
