Quick point Pankaj - Are you using System D on a regular basis - Because as you have mentioned it cleans up any carbon deposits, do we need to use it continuously or intermittent usage of System D / G is good to go (say once in a month) !!!

Secondly, you seemed to have found the right concoction for your car !!!

Cheers,

K Prasad

I'm since using System D regularly (recommended) & find it beneficial, as discussed before - besides the carbon factor.

 

Yes, I have found the right concoction (mixture/blend) of 'Normal Fuel + System D' after having used different concoctions.

 

But thanks to you for all that - remember, I used to use Premium fuel until you explained about the difference & all that on page #7

Both G and D are marketed by Indian oil-so there is no point of excessive advertisement for the same when they themselves sell additive mixed petrol.

2-t is for 2 stroke engines.

 

NO..i mean ...y not Advertise ?...its not d same..Additive mixed petrol n using System G ?....2 different things rite.......?..

try explaining me again..i dint get this point..

Basically, yes.  In any case, blend of Normal Fuel & System D/G is more effective - my experience (diesel) indicates so.  Besides, the 'blend' works out cheaper than the prem. fuel.

Technically I'm not aware but I understand these brands are a little different from each other.

Petrol is under strict industry production norms-so there wont be any significant difference between the different petrol brands-the amount of adulteration is what really makes the difference-the mixes and the octane no's are all same across the manufactures
