FAQs
How often should I use Diesel Power EcoMAX?
It is recommended to use the additive every time you refuel for optimal and consistent results. For specific needs like pre-MOT preparation, a double dose can be used for one tank.
Can I use this additive in a petrol engine?
No, this product is specifically formulated for diesel engines only. Using it in a petrol engine can cause damage.
What is the cetane rating increase?
The additive increases the cetane rating of diesel fuel by over 4 numbers, which improves combustion efficiency and performance.
Is this additive safe for my DPF?
Yes, Millers Oils Diesel Power EcoMAX is safe for all types of Diesel Particle Filters (DPFs) and other modern exhaust after-treatment systems.
How much fuel does one bottle treat?
One 500ml bottle treats up to 500 litres of diesel fuel at the standard dosage (100ml per 50 litres).
Will this additive clean my fuel injectors?
While the primary function is combustion enhancement, the cleaner-burning properties can contribute to keeping the fuel system and injectors cleaner over time by reducing deposit buildup.
Can I mix different fuel additives?
It is generally not recommended to mix different fuel additives from different manufacturers, as their chemical compositions may interact in unpredictable ways. Use one product at a time.
Troubleshooting
No noticeable difference in performance
Ensure the correct dosage was used and the additive has had sufficient time (at least one full tank) to work. Effects can be more subtle in very modern, well-maintained engines. Consider using at double strength for a short period for a more pronounced effect, especially for pre-MOT testing.
Fuel refuelling is foaming excessively
While the formulation is designed to reduce foam, excessive foaming can sometimes occur due to pump variations or very cold fuel. Ensure the additive was added before filling the tank to allow for mixing. If the issue persists and is severe, contact Millers Oils customer support.
Engine check light illuminated after use
This additive enhances combustion and should not cause an engine warning light. If the light appears, it likely indicates a pre-existing or unrelated engine issue. Consult your vehicle's manual or a qualified mechanic.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Measure Fuel: Determine the exact amount of diesel fuel in your tank. The 500ml bottle treats up to 500 litres of diesel. For standard use, add 100ml per 50 litres of fuel.
