Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the questions we get asked most often about CRD Fuel Enhancer.
Where is CRD Fuel Enhancer made?
CRD Fuel Enhancer is an Australian-made diesel fuel additive, manufactured in our Brisbane warehouse — proudly displaying the Australian Made logo.
What happens if you use too much CRD Fuel Enhancer?
Basically, you’re just wasting it — however, there will be no long-term harm to the engine.
Can I double-dose CRD Fuel Enhancer?
Yes. If your injectors are showing bad signs of wear or injector rattle, we would recommend a double dose.
Is CRD Fuel Enhancer OK for bulk diesel usage and storage?
Yes. Adding a concentrated detergent and lubricant is common practice at many large-scale sites to improve diesel quality and reduce maintenance downtime.
Can you run CRD Fuel Enhancer every tank?
Yes, it’s fine to run every tank. It is a very concentrated liquid, which makes it easy to add to the fuel when refuelling.
Can it make water magically disappear?
CRD will help protect your fuel system from water-caused corrosion and will help disperse minor water contamination. Serious water contamination will require draining the fuel system. Be cautious — no additive can make heavy water contamination magically disappear.
Can you use CRD Fuel Enhancer in an older, non-common rail diesel engine?
Yes, CRD is suitable for all diesel engines.
Is CRD Fuel Enhancer DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) compatible?
Yes — 100% DPF safe and compatible. Do not use a fuel additive in your new diesel unless it is 100% DPF compatible; otherwise, you could be creating a very expensive problem.
Will it void a new vehicle or truck warranty?
CRD Fuel Enhancer will not void your warranty and adheres to all Australian fuel standards.
Most Injectors Do Not Need to Be Replaced
If you suspect your diesel injectors are not functioning correctly, we recommend contacting us or your local mechanic and having the injectors tested. If your injector readings are not within the acceptable range, do not replace your injectors before using CRD Fuel Enhancer.
CRD Fuel Enhancer will help restore your injector spray patterns and save you thousands in repair costs. For a real-world example, see how it kept a common rail diesel throttle body clean at 120,000km.
