Thread: Diesel additive - Puma 2.2

Assuming you mean the carbon cleaner, fuel additive. It definitely works, used to use it in a Mack E7 454, it saved an expensive rebuild.
Just guessing, but it should be fine in any engine. It can be used in common rail engines.

But there is some discussion as to whether this (or similar products) are suitable for a 2.2 Puma. Does anyone have any real world experience with additives in a Puma 2.2 and have you had any measurable benefits or negative observations?

Go for it!
I use Fuel Doctor and/or Flashlube in my D4 3.0 diesel.
Helps neutralise algae, breakdown moisture presence etc.
Cleans wax buildup on injector nozzles.

Do you use it in customers cars as a matter of course?

Thanks Dazza

Have you experienced any problems with the Puma engines with this stuff?

The image didn’t open but I found this?

+1 for cost effective maintenance products, I dont use the fuel conditioner but have used the engine flush on a few vehicles and am happy to recommend their products

i use...

FTC Decarbonizer - good for injector rattle (defender tdci, lc 200), sticky turbo actuators (d3 / d4), vehicles with dpf issues.

AW10 - engine oil additive (mostly as a preventative measure), use on customers vehicles (d3, d4, defenders), lt230 transfer cases (defenders).

like all additives, its not the bee all and end all to issues but it can help.
