Which Diesel Fuel: Petrol Diesel Max or Shell Diesoline?

**Boy Torotot** · September 26th, 2006 07:06 PM

Specific to diesel fuels, which is better in terms of, in this order, 1) cleanliness 2) mileage 3) power? I've taken out Caltex and the smaller players as they seem to be left behind in previous surveys. Here are a few articles i lifted from each one's website. If you'll base on the website articles, Shell Diesoline is the clear winner, giving much more info and details. But, i'd like to know the real world experiences of tsikoteers.

Shell Diesoline Ultra

Using Shell's global leadership and expertise in fuel technology, Shell has developed a revoluntionary process that super refines the diesel, ridding it of all impurities. The result - a pure, more stable and cleaner burning diesel.

Keep Clean Performance
Shell Diesoline Ultra and two other local diesels were put to a Keep Clean performance test that measured the injector fouling. The injector fouling index measures the amount of clogging caused by deposits in the injector, resulting in less efficient fuel spray and combustion. Results showed that Shell Diesoline Ultra considerably decreased injector clogging, unlike the two other diesels tested. This means that Shell Diesoline Ultra will keep your engine clean longer than any other diesel.

Clean Up Performance

The three diesels were tested on their ability to remove existing dirt and deposits. Tests showed that other diesels gave minimal clean-up resulting in a power loss of up to 8% (due to accumulated engine deposit build up). Only Shell Diesoline Ultra was able to deliver true clean-up performance (removes 10 times the amount of carbon deposits than ordinary diesels) and even recovered about 4% of the lost power. With further driving, and continued use of Shell Diesoline Ultra, expect that clean up and power recovery will continue.

Superior Protection
Compared to the two diesels tested, Shell Diesoline Ultra demonstrated superior engine protection. Diesoline Ultra guards the entire fuel system against rust and corrosion.

Anti-Foam Performance
All diesel fuels make foam as they are loaded into a fuel tank. Shell Diesoline Ultra significantly reduces the amount of foam and dissipation time, ensuring a more accurate and faster fill than other diesels. Shell Diesoline Ultra. Super Refined to be the cleanest and purest diesel available.It is the first diesel in the Philippines to deliver true engine cleaning capability.It gives exceptional corrosion protection and optimum anti-foam ability.Shell Diesoline Ultra. Super-refined to be ultra clean and ultra pure. For clean power and pure performance. Discover it for yourself!

Prior to using biodiesel, I've loaded up with Petron Diesel Max ever since I got my ride, with two instances of using Shell Diesoline.

Sa experience ko, lamang ang Petron in terms of fuel mileage.

**odell** · September 26th, 2006 08:33 PM

:lamang talaga asa mileage ang petron thru experience din

**userfriendly** · September 26th, 2006 08:54 PM

Don't know if this is still true today, but back in 1999 Total and Shell sometimes got diesel and other fuels from each other.

**larshell** · September 26th, 2006 09:48 PM

mga bro ano ba ang mas masarap singhotin diesel fuel or premium fuel. kasi ang unleaded kulay green edi green tea flavor, ang premium naman kulay red edi cherry flavor, ang diesel naman kulay ihi, baka urine flavor. sa kerosene na lang ako kasi mas mura kaysa sa mga leading fuel, nagmahal na kasi gasulina ngayon kelangan maging practical
