Re: diesel additive,
Mpg as gone up by using it, which ithought wouidnt happen,
so thats 1 good thing,
is it supposed to make a car run hotter tho thats what was sort of bothering me
its not much hotter but guage goes up to like half way as before it was way below half way

I believe it raises the combustion temperature in order to help burn off the old gunk inside the engine, this would obviously cause the running temp to be higher than normal.

Re: diesel additive,
Never heard of it! I use wynns fuel aditive from my local factors for £5. Works well and is highly thought of by our engineers at work. Although Forte does seem to be the best.
