TDIfurby, what nos/water/meth issues have you discovered?
I have yet to have any negative issues. The only thing I have noticed which is a consequence of me placing the nozzle too far from the inlet, is when I get off boost, there is a lag of nil boost but there is still some water/meth in the IC system. This causes a momentary shuddering as it goes into the engine, when it is not under load or boost. I guess the engine under load can consume much better, and without it being under load, the engine is essentially partially hydrolocking, which cannot be good!
Trev - the "no more than 50/50" thing came from stories on TDIclub, and also one from here where that chap ran 100% methanol and got in your bad books. I suppose when I think of both parts of an equation doing an equal job, I want them in equal proportion, hence 50:50. It could well be that with my high flow nozzles, maybe a 30 meth / 70 water mix would be better. I do know however, that before I got methanol I ran my system on 100% water and although good, was still a bit flat. Once I got a 50% mix in there the difference was clear as day.
I can only put that down to the methanol helping as well.
Re: the fuel additive, I copied this off the Millers website. I doubt they will give away any ingredients.
DESCRIPTION:
High specification diesel fuel treatment for enhanced combustion efficiency and engine cleanliness.
APPLICATION:
For use in all diesel vehicles including modern Euro IV compliant engines.
By addition to fuel in the ratio 1 part to 1000 parts [1 ml/L]. May also be used at double strength for additional performance.
USER BENEFITS:
• Diesel Power Sport 4 is a modern state of the art fuel treatment that is suitable for all diesel engines, especially Euro IV emission-compliant vehicles, which also provides a tangible improvement to vehicle performance.
• Gives “better-than-new” performance.
• Features a unique combustion efficiency improver and Cetane booster providing extra power and torque.
• Improved throttle and engine response at lower revs.
• Protection of fuel system components against wear, with specially added lubricity enhancers.
• High specification detergency additive for prolonged injector cleanliness.
• Engine smoothness, noise reduction and fuel savings confirmed by users.
• Inproved combustion and engine cleanliness drastically reduces emissions.
• Provides fuel system corrosion control.
• Prevents fuel from ageing.
