6. Diesel Fuel Additive
The use of diesel fuel additive is strongly recommended on Shire engines. The quality of the
fuel available when cruising is often unknown. Also the fuel may have been in storage for
long periods of time. The use of additives will ensure that your engine fuel injection system
is in top condition which should result in many years of smooth reliable operation, without the
cost and inconvenience of expensive breakdowns due to poor quality fuel. It has also been
found that improvements in fuel consumption and start ability are an added benefit of using
this product. Diesel fuel additive is available from your Shire dealer in a handy 500ml
container, Part Number RDG80210219.
