Interesting he’s a fan of diesel additives.
I’ve always used one and add it every second or third tank out of habit, but so many people say it’s a waste of money as they add it to fuel these days.

Up here in QLD the local Ampol (Caltex) and Costco have additive cleaners. No need to add extra and let's be honest not likely needed in Australia.

Always good content!

One very valid point, do not leave your modern diesel idling. The EGR valve is likely to be wide open below 1000rpm, that's never good.

Seeking to objectively test a diesel fuel additive. Draw your own conclusions.
