ZD30? Or one of the 4.2 diesels?I bought this. 3" Dobinson, full fuel service at Berrima Diesel 3 months ago. 3" dump.....the list goes on.

Those Cunt numpties have had it for ages.Careful Bermshot, ASIO has your numberplate now.
Nuke, look at reason.ZD30? Or one of the 4.2 diesels?
There's your problem... to many octanes not enuff cetanes...4wd is a 1986 Toyota 4runner. My usual choice of fuel for the old Toyota 2L diesel engine, non turbo, has been Caltex or Mobile as they are local and cheaper by 5-10 cents per litre compared to BP or Shell.
On Friday I filled up with BP diesel as it was on the way and not too mich more expensive than the others.
Well, the engine seems stronger, more power and better acceleration, so I assume more octane in the fuel...
Anyone else have the same experience in finding BP a higher octane fuel?
Is a fuel additive the main differentiator between the brands?
My neighbor said the same thing in his nissan patrol he use to fill up with caltex vortex every week one week he decide to try shell and said there was a definite improvement in power and that the engine seemed quieter. 6 months on and he still swears by the shell fuel.4wd is a 1986 Toyota 4runner.

Cetanes hey, didn't know that.There's your problem... to many octanes not enuff cetanes...
Fyi diesel fuel rating is cetane. Octane rating is for petrol.
i dont know much about the additives different brands use. It would be interesting if you when back to the old fuel if you notice the decrease in performance. It might be some of the additives in the bp fuel helped clean up the injection system and going back to the old fuel you dont see an immediate decrease in performance. ..
Could be my imagination!My neighbor said the same thing in his nissan patrol he use to fill up with caltex vortex every week one week he decide to try shell and said there was a definite improvement in power and that the engine seemed quieter. 6 months on and he still swears by the shell fuel.
Try cetane for diesel buddy... google cetane gives:Stirk, Rob. Can't be bothered writing an essay. Google "octane ratings"
In short what brand diesel has the best power? Is it in any way bad for the engine or anything? I'm only in a little mini turbo iesel VW Tiguan but keen to know.Try cetane for diesel buddy... google cetane gives:
Cetane number or CN is an indicator of the combustion speed of diesel fuel. It is an inverse of the similar octane rating for gasoline (petrol). The CN is an important factor in determining the quality of diesel fuel, but not the only one; other measurements of diesel's quality include (but are not limited to) energy content, density, lubricity, cold-flow properties and sulphur content.[1]

Yes, the turbo lag is almost dangerous at times, combine that with an overly enthusiastic traction control system and you have a recipe for disaster...had a 2012 triton in auto for a work car, hated it!Just a little bit of experience
The mn suffers a touch from turbo lag on take off. The long tub can increase chance of chassis failure IF OVERLOADED and used offroad.
