Hydra DPB-100 Diesel Power Blast - Diesel Fuel System Cleaner | Diesel Injector Cleaner with Diesel Fuel Additive | 500ml treats 500L

Being using this in my Vivaro van for quite a while now, certainly seems to have made an improvement, fuel efficiency is up and have not had any DPF warnings since started using it.

This stuff is like a little bottle of magic. I had issues with the car lacking power with no throttle response when accelerating. I did the DPF regeneration procedure and seemed to help but was looking for an additive to help. I tried the usual Redex DPF cleaner product which was useless and a total waste of money and time. I read reviews about this stuff and seemed quite positive so thought I’d give it a go as cheaper than paying for DPF cleaning. I filled the tank and put in the recommended 1ml per litre of this magic formula and took the car for a drive. Obviously didn’t notice any immediate change as just wanted to run it through the engine first. Over the next couple of days I noticed the throttle response was there and boost was starting to kick in earlier. The car now seems to be back to full performance after using this. MPG has also improved as was at 37.8mpg and now at 41.3mpg. Probably get a little more but I am a bit heavy footed 😁. I would highly recommend this over the well known brands like Redex and Wynns etc…A friend has now put this in his BMW X3 and Mitsubishi L200 and seen improvements since using it.

Seemed to have had some positive effect on my diesel engine van..

Much cheaper than Redex and similar, plus containing an octane booster (unlike the others). One small bottle like this (250ml?), should be enough for around 5 full tanks of my medium sized family saloon, with a 65L tank; based upon the recommended repeat dose. So far it has certainly purged through the fuel system, as after running in for a long haul trip of 350 miles, the next time I drove the car I could instantly tell the difference.Acceleration is improved, as well as improved MPG, from 46.7 to 51.2 over 400 miles. It read 46.7 so I reset the computer and drove with Hydra added to the tank for a week and now it says 51.2, so much better and closer to the rated MPG of the car when new. To be honest the biggest reason I bought it was to help with "water in the tank - emulsification" effect that can unfortunately occur with cheap supermarket fuels and poorly maintained forecourt tanks that hold it (Buyer beware Asda have a very bad rep for this, but Tesco have had it too!). Plus after purchasing the car 2nd hand, you never know what sort of life it's had so better to be safe than sorry - right?! In the past I have had to replace fuel filters/pumps due to wear and tear caused by sludge in the bottom of the tank..apparently this solution contains elements that clean out all the sections of the fuel line, right up to the injectors, so if it prevents long-term costs and mechanical issues, then it's all good.Others have stated that it helps clean up emissions (prior to M.O.T) but I can't comment on that aspect myself, ditto with the "Engine warning lights" or DPF issues as I don't think it is SPECIFICALLY designed for that purpose, but if it does fix that for you then great! Bear in mind there are specialist formulas made specifically with that purpose in mind, it may be best to use the right tool for the job. Hope this helps someone :)

We've used many different types of Diesel Treatments over a 30yr period in the trade with various results. We mainly specialise in VAG group cars, running various power gaining modifications where duty cycle of PD injectors is paramount and keeping smoke under control. Whether cars are re-mapped or mostly standard we have found that after running with this additive for a relatively short while there are improvements with throttle response, quicker turbo spool and reduced smoke under load. Small gains on mpg but in all honesty our clients main aim is power most the time. Don't be under the illusion that popping this stuff in the tank wile solve all current running issues or lessening the need for maintenance and service and as soon as you add it to the fuel your gonna get a 10sec quater mile time and massive bhp boost, you would be delusional if you thought that! However it does improve things under the bonnet and works better than other additives available to retail and the trade.

Used it in a 2007 Honda Civic 2.2 diesel which used to average 54 to 56 MPG. After a few runs after adding it, it was averaging 68 MPG! Thought it was a fluke, so I refilled a couple of times without adding the product and the MPG slowly decreased back towards 56 MPG. So added some more Hydra and the MPG shot up again. Also the cars throttle response seems a lot better with it added.I then added some to a 25 year old Volvo engined coach and the results were amazing. The engine power available increased quite a lot and it used to rumble but now it is very smooth.Tried it in a 2L Ford S-Max and the results were negligible, average MPG only went up by 1 or 2 MPG. Didn't seem to have same effect as the other vehicles I've tried it on.Bad note is the bottle. It leaks. Don't store it indoors! It stinks and the smell lingers. It is also very awkward to use. Wear gloves too.

Great product, my MPG has gotten a lot better. However it STINKS and the packaging is awful. Because of that, a little bit spilled into the boot of my car. I've been driving with the windows down for a few weeks and my car STILL smells, so be warned.

This was recommended by a mechanic who deals with egf and injection cleaning.Stronger than redex and better performance.
