Title: 2-EHN
Post by: Bio-boy on July 31, 2015, 10:41:29 AM

Who uses it?
Is it any good?
Is it worth the additional expense?

Works for me, predominantly to get winter MPG up on short, cold trips.  Doesn't seem to help me much with summer or long trips in the winter.  Marvellous stuff.

Do you also winterise your fuel in the winter or does 2-EHN also support in this regard?

No I never winterise, just top skim the liquids and leave the rest for summer.

I use it and it does improve mpg by about 10% on both vehicles. I gave Scott (Snippy) some to try so will see how he gets on with it

I use the stuff as well in a Veg Mix

Don't see 10% better MPG ( maybe 5 - 7% ) but do see
smoother running and winter starting is easier.

Most Chem suppliers will stock it, or if all else fails ebay, at a price

I bought 5 litres earlier this year from Trinity, via Ebay. It was about 38 quid delivered.
