SASOL 10PPM Diesel

[MikeR]

:fencelook: filled up today with 10ppm feels smooth - lets see if I get 800+ or more to compare.

 

[ChefDJ]

I really hope it's not heavier :fencelook:

Filled up with 10ppm yesterday. So far it seems that the economy is heavier by about 0.3l/100km on the open road. Have not had an opportunity to test the performance yet.

Hey...

I filled up on Sunday with 10ppm, my consumption dropped and I didnt over do the power.

Well im driving to kzn today. Will fill up with 10ppm and see the consumption I get.

But the extra power under your foot is hard to control :rollsmile:

None of the Sasol garages in Durban stock 10PPM :thumbdo:

Only Mpumalanga and Gauteng have 10ppm. Will be rolled out to the rest of the country over the next 2 years

I've done about 400kms on 10ppm. Have to say my car loves it. Its smooth, responsive and the extra power is quite apparent and not just in my head.

Too early to comment on consumption so I'll fill another tank and see how it goes but yes very happy with it thus far..

 

[ChefDJ]

So do I use 10ppm for the holiday trip, or go 50ppm for better consumption? :thinking:

 

[rajesh]

10 ppm only available at 70 sites for now...
some interesting info though..some sites already have 10 ppm in their tanks,but marked at 50 ppm on the Physical tank.due to delays in the rollout plan...
another interesting fact is that most Caltex,engen & some SHell garages actually have SASOL fuel in their tanks...adding their own "additives" and branding accordingly.
Pretty soon we will see 1ppm from Sasol...

The Sasol in Centurion (Hans Strydom) says they only getting 10ppm next year. I filled in 50ppm Sasol( been using BP from the time i purchased the car) and i think consumption is worse on the average commute, havent tried long distance yet.

Hi all

Filled up with 10ppm Sasol, done about 200kms

Feels smoother, but i did not feel any noticeable increase in power.

I filled a tank and the consumption seems to be a little higher. I filled bp today and consumption dropped. But I will keep using Sasol to help clean the engine and make it last longer.

To be honest I don't think its going to make a huge difference. My 330d has done great with 50ppm. If I were to use 10ppm I would have a bottle of additives to help with lubricity.

First, I want to concentrate on the loss of the sulfur and why this is important to you. Sulfur is an Extreme Pressure (EP) lubricant. It is regularly added to lubricating oils and greases to increase the lubricity and to raise the amount of pressure that the lubricant can handle before the lubricating molecular barrier begins to break down. Sulfur has always been a vitally important factor in providing lubrication to diesel engine fuel pumps, fuel injectors, and to a lesser degree engine valves.

In 1993 the EPA forced the reduction of sulfur in on-highway diesel fuels from an unlimited amount (typically .5% to 1% (5,000 to 10,000 ppm), although occasionally as high as 2% (20,000 ppm)) to a maximum of 500 ppm (.05%). At that time, there was a 12 to 24 month period where significant problems with failures of some metallic fuel system components such as pumps and injectors due to the dramatic lowering of lubricity and with seals, gaskets, and other rubber or synthetic components due to the reduction of elasticity caused by removing the sulfur. It was nearly two years before changes were completed in the new engines that ameliorated those problems and repairs made to older engines that controlled these problems.

During this period many fleets and individual operators began additizing their fuels to restore this lubricity and elasticity.

The reduction now being made takes on-highway diesel from less than 500 ppm to less than 15 ppm, which for all practical purposes eliminates sulfur as a lubricant in the fuel.

I agree with you here, even with 50ppm I add 500ml of two stroke oil for added lubrication.

Any increase in smoke?

 

[ChefDJ]

No increase in smoke :fencelook:

No increase in smoke :fencelook:

Nah was asking Armstrong if he had more smoke adding the 2 stroke oil.

None. :thumbs:

 

[ChefDJ]

Ohhhhhh :sorry:

Sasol ads Lubricant to there fuels , and I'm pretty sure that if they can make 10 ppm, they will know to ad more lubricant, to the 10ppm then they ad in 50ppm.
