New Petron Turbo Diesel Fuel [MERGED]

[tc327]

was wandering kasi pag refill ka ng new diesel TD eh kailangan ba drain muna tank para di mag mix yung regular diesel and this new turbo diesel

[youngrider]

How many percent is the added cost using Petron's TDF than the regular diesel? Could anyone say that the benefits will also add to this percentage.

As someone said, any sort of an additive that promises to give more than 5% of efficiency is 'snake oil'.

using d4d, better and smoother acceleration than shell v power

for revo 2.4, shell v power is better, bakit kaya

[winn1971]

just tried the petron td in my carnival over the weekend. seems acceleration is quicker/better compared sa ordinary diesel. i had 1/4 level on the gauge remaining when i topped up so i had a "mix". will try again for a second fill pag naubos ko na so i can somewhat make a conclusion whether to stick to the new td or back to the old diesel maxx. will also see the FC kung better or not after the second fill.

from shell v power diesel, i just shifted to this para masubukan. after 3 full tanks, no difference. mileage is the same. both has no "napalm" smell as yung ordinary diesel. my ride is a tucson ix crdi

mukhang mag stick na lang ako sa v power. mas mura. wala naman difference

So to summarize the current opinions are:

1) For older non-CRDi engines, little or NO benefit - definitely NOT worth the extra cost.

2) For the newer CRDi engines, quite noticeable improvement - definitely worth a try.

Sa mga bayaran na marketing promoter ng mga bagong 'performance' diesel na ito:

Please leave us alone in this forum so we can share our experiences with out your paid opinions.

Dusky, so this means hindi ito advisable sa rigs natin? Doesnt it also help in cleaning the IP or mas magandang panlinis yung additive mo? My R2 is newly overhauled and have been using Turbo Diesel as break-in fuel. Am I just wasting my money?

Kitakits na daw.

Dear bors:

I really can't say what the differences are for a turbo diesel as I don't have a turbo-diesel to test the new fuels on.

I can say that on my ride - Mazda B2500 WL-31 without a turbo, I find little or no difference vs the ordinary diesels, the same is true for our other pick-up a Toyota HiLux with a 2.4 liter 2L engine.

As I do not know the composition of the new diesels, I really can't say if they are better at cleaning the fuel system or not - unlike in the additive where I know what went in - it is a strong solvent and thus tends to dissolve gums and varnishes in the fuel line.

I would tend to believe that this 'superior' turbo-diesel fuel they sell must be better refined than ordinary diesel, so maybe you are not wasting your money, but only time will tell whether you can say the benefits are worth the extra price.

Best Regards,

Dusky Lim

What's with the "napalm" smell of the ordinary diesel, bro.?

Or, are you just describing how it smells?

sa garahe pag umaandar yung makina, amoy na amoy yung "napalm" smell nung ordinary diesel gamit ko, bale yung exhaust. ngayon wala na amoy with both v power and turbodiesel.

Sumisinghot ka ng krudo, 'no?

My observations with petron turbo diesel:

MB '87 w124 300d turbo - Less black smoke on accceleration, better smell of exhaust, quieter engine, faster acceleration

MB '94 w202 c220 diesel - Less black smoke on acceleration, better smell of exhaust, quieter engine, faster acceleration

Mits. '99 Pajero FM - Less black smoke on acceleration, better smell of exhaust, smoother idling and revving

As you can see minimal effect on the pajero although my wife swears it goes faster. More noticeable effect on the Benzes. Bumilis talaga and smoother running.

kaya sabi ko sa page 1:



it could be ordinary diesel being marketed as fancy diesel

i havent seen the color of Petron's new diesel

but i know what Japan diesel looks like

Japan diesel looks like kerosene (it's clear)

local diesel is yellowish


if Petron's new diesel is as clear as kerosene, then Petron's new diesel could be better than ordinary diesel

Sa pagkaalam ko ang kulay ay hindi basehan ng quality. Coloring add-on lang ito para madaling malaman alin ang diesel, ang gasolina, etc. Lahat ay clear like kerosene bago dinagdag ang color. Tama po ba mga guru ang pagkaintindi ko?

[uls]

that's old

doesnt matter what color local diesel is

we already know local diesel is dirty diesel despite all the marketing gimmicks

see this thread: http://tsikot.yehey.com/forums/showthread.php?t=75146

that was my point all along (local diesel is dirty diesel)

[vhronx]

When is it available in Davao?

[Fotonista]

Tried this on a New 4JB1 engine... Twice ko na nagamin (full tank - 46L and 42L). Ang na notice ko lang is yung faster acceleration and quieter engine. Smoke sa exhaust? Wala pa difference actually kasi bago pa naman yung sasakyan.

My take on this? I'll go back to the regular diesel engine... For every full tank that I make with the Turbo Diesel, I spent 200 pesos more... That's already more than 4 liters of ordinary diesel IMO... Additional 50-60KM trip... Two days of back and forth to work from home... I'd be more practical na lang, one of the reasons why I opted for a China made vehicle and diesel powered engine is because I'm a cheap b*$tard... ;D (joke)...

Siguro for Turbo powered engines, mas mag bebenefit sila with this, but for old-new engine like mine, the regular will do. (just my 2 cent).

[Retz]

magkano na ang latest price per liter ng turbo diesel ngayon?

[crazy_boy]

i think its 2.50/L more expensive than regular diesel.

Thanks sir. Sa mga gasolinahan palaging apat na prices lang ang nakalagay sa pylon signage. The price of regular diesel, unleaded gasoline, premium gasoline and high octane gasoline. Ung premium diesel hindi naka indicate.

imho, premium diesel is not worth it. it'd rather have cheap clean euro3/4 diesel + 2T than 10% more expensive premium euro diesel with additives.

[Retz]

Rollback ang prices ng fuel.

Petron DieselMaxx - Php43.50/Li
Petron Turbo Diesel - Php46.50/Li
