Additive technology has been used to enhance the quality of automotive diesel fuel in a number of important areas of performance. This paper focusses on the role of new additive technology in two important areas: 1. Maintenance of designed performance of injector systems: 2. Prevention of problems associated with fuels designed to respond to tighter emission regulations. Field and laboratory data have been generated in industry and in-house procedures. The implications of these results are discussed.
