Has anyone used BP Ultimate diesel?

[Guest]

As above,

Obviously won't be in your STI/legacy etc but in your second car perhaps?

Only available in upper/mid of north island

Performance, economy etc?

is yours a modern diesel? turbo?

TBH sounds like a marketing plot. Diesels are alot more user friendly with what fuel u can use, than with a petrol motor

[zarnah]

haha yea id say its a bit of a have, what special claims do they make on it?

I guess modern diesels, especially direct injections ones- bmw, audi etc would benefit more than say a hilux etc

Is it low sulfa diesel? They used to sell that stuff in chch only.

Or is it bio diesel?

id be interested to see what makes it ultimate. Common rail is only sensitive to poor quality dirty fuel and need a reduced amount of sulfur

[DRFVDR]

Diesel is diesel is diesel,common rail is no real different in delivery than a normal injector pump only differs in that they can be controlled better electronically

We use Caltex Diesel and it has cleaning additives in it which really makes no difference,

Main difference we get here in nz is winter/summer diesel

[D-Style]

As long as the filter system are good, and serviced, you can use any diesel.

High sulfur diesel is cheaper to make than sulfur, but doesnt really have any effect on performance (funny word to use in a diesel thread)

the pump clearances are tighter in a CR system, mitsis new asx diesel runs over 200 mpa over 30,000psi, the plunger to body clearance is less than half a human hair, so if u get shit in it your asking for trouble

Worse thing u can do is fill one with petrol,then u looking at between $10,000 and $15,000 for repairs havent had that done to any of ours yet I spent $20 on "diesel Only" stickers

[EJ20T]

also CR has pilot injection, u will notice when the grade changes they will get noisey untill the ecu can go a sql

[subiesti]

yep crapy diesel destroyed my entire fuel system so they replaced with aftermarket system engine gets really ratley when cold. now goes way better. i hear alot off people having issues with different car companys and some wont cover under warrenty but they did 4 me and it is way out of warenty so $5500 bill only cost 350 4 a senser that failed. 8)

Im in welli so I've never seen it, but I use an additive "diesel conditioner" from BNT,it helps lubriacte everything after they lowered sulfer levels a few years back.

$20 for 1 litre and it lasts me about 6 weeks (10,000kms).

I've used it since my Hiace hit 100,000kms, its now 450,000kms and it still doesn't blow smoke/soot. Still got my original injectors in there that have never been cleaned.

All NZ diesel has been low-sulfur since January 2009 when levels were reduced from 50ppm to 10ppm.

Does Ultimate diesel cost more ?
