Hey all,

There is a BP Ultimate Diesel Online forum taking place on 23 October and is open to all Australian residents. I am an expert on the night as I am BP’s Technical Manager. The forum will give people the chance to chat live with three experts: Allan Whiting, 4x4 Australia Magazine’s Technical Editor; John Carey, Associate Editor of Wheels Magazine; and myself. We’ll be sharing our knowledge with participants and will be on hand to answer any questions you may have about all things diesel.

Thought it may be of interest to some of you. Check it out at www.bpfuelexperts.com.au

Cheers,
Garry

Thanks, I have had a conversation with one of BP's technical consultants, it's got a nice detergent package and a higher cetane (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cetane_number) number (~similar to petrol octane rating), leading to more controlled combustion and quieter & less smoky operation.

Interestingly they took an excellent product off the market recently BP Diesel GO (http://www.bp.com/liveassets/bp_internet/australia/corporate_australia/STAGING/local_assets/downloads_pdfs/f/Fuel_news_bp_diesel_go.pdf) that was a lubricant, detergent package and water scavenger, this turned ordinary diesel into something much better, shame :( The great thing about Diesel Go was the economical mix-rates, 1 ml / litre of diesel. @ $14 / litre it was 1.4 c/ litre cost.
