Passenger cars, Classic Cars and Motorcycles will all need further protection as the ethanol content in fuel rises. In this article, our technical advisor explains how E10 Fuel will affect our vehicles and what you can do to combat this. What is E10 fuel? https://cdn.opieoils.co.uk/images/variants/medium/millersoils/millers-oils-diesel-power-ecomax-fuel-treatment-multishot-500ml-2.jpg

A bit like all those wild mpg claims we see on caravanning forums . ....... "I get 45mpg around town from my auto 4x4" . ... yes of course you do The type of roads you drive on – Motorways mean you can keep a steadier speed, increasing MPG. Country roads will greatly reduce MPG due to different inclines and turns in the road.

Suitable for use in passenger cars and light commercial vehicles including Euro 4, Euro 5, and Euro 6 compliant engines. https://cdn.opieoils.co.uk/images/variants/large/millersoils/millers-oils-diesel-power-ecomax-fuel-treatment-multishot-500ml-2.jpgEthanol itself is very corrosive and ethanol with moisture (that it holds) is also very corrosive to steel fuel tanks, glass fibre and certain rubber hoses and fittings. Ethanol has a lower calorific energy content than petrol. This can impact the fuel economy of a vehicle with the consumption increasing. How can I combat its effects?

is a Cetane booster - a measure of the performance potential of diesel fuel - and in the early phase of the combustion process, 2EHN breaks down to form "free radicals" which enhances the burn (the Chemistry of flames is all about radicals). The engine runs quieter and produces more power - fantastic. Until the engine warms up and then 2EHN decomposes prematurely and stops working :-) https://cdn.opieoils.co.uk/images/variants/medium/millersoils/millers-oils-diesel-power-ecomax-fuel-treatment-multishot-500ml-1.jpg https://cdn.opieoils.co.uk/images/variants/medium/millersoils/millers-oils-diesel-power-ecomax-fuel-treatment-multishot-5-litres-1.jpg With the sump plug and oil filter replaced, it was time to fill up with some fresh oil and take the car out for a drive. On our test, our driver took the car for a run of about 26 miles to give the additives a chance of getting down to work on cleaning up the engine internals.Here are the views of a sadly late friend who was a fuel chemist - there are some comments about fuel and oil too, which I've left in as they are interesting -
