Product details

Brand: Cost Effective Maintenance

The Dirty Diesel Kit protects your engine from poor-quality diesel: a 250mL CRD Fuel Enhancer and 1L FTC Decarbonizer, both added straight to the fuel tank. CRD Fuel Enhancer cleans injectors and restores their spray pattern, while FTC Decarbonizer burns off the carbon and soot that dirty fuel leaves behind. Add them at refuelling — no tools, no downtime. Bad fuel is something you often can't avoid — one tank of contaminated or high-sulphur diesel can leave you with dirty injectors, poor combustion and carbon buildup. The dirty diesel kit treats the fuel as it goes in, so the damage never takes hold. Use the dirty diesel kit when you fill up somewhere you don't trust, run older or stored fuel, or notice rough running, smoke or lost power after a bad tank. For ongoing protection, simply treat every tank — the doses are small and one kit lasts most 4WDs months. What's in the kit 1 x 250 ml CRD Fuel Enhancer — cleans injectors, restores spray patterns, minimises injector rattle and reduces diesel smoke. 1 x 1 ltr FTC Decarbonizer — burns away carbon from the combustion area, cleans turbos and DPF filters, restores power and cuts smoke. Frequently asked questions What does "dirty diesel" do to an engine? Poor-quality fuel fouls injectors and leaves carbon and soot through the combustion spaces, turbo and exhaust — showing up as smoke, rough running, lost power and higher fuel use. When do I add the products? Both go straight into the fuel tank when you fill up. The dosing rates are in the Instructions tab. Will it work in any diesel? Yes — CRD Fuel Enhancer suits all diesels including common rail, and FTC Decarbonizer suits all diesel engines, including those with turbos and DPFs. Is there a petrol version? Yes — the Dirty Petrol Kit pairs Cleanpower with FTC Decarbonizer for unleaded engines.

I have been using FTC and CEM products for years in my 1986 - 2003 fleet. Clean engines, no rebuilds, better than expected wear rates. CEM products make higher servicing costs but I see the products as a long .term investment in vehicles, plant and equipment - that should not be overlooked by scrimping and saving on services.

Two decades ago l owned an 80 Series LandCruiser and this was the ONLY thing that would get the diesel algae out of my fuel system. Now l own a 200 series and after getting a bad tank of fuel l using it again to clean out my fuel and injector system. Don't buy any of the crap l tried at Supercheap Auto and other stores. Cost Effective products actually work!

Long time user of CEM products. As usual, no complaints whatsoever with most recent purchase, the Dirty Diesel Kit. Will continue to use their products as long as I'm around.

We have been using the CRD fuel enhancer and FTC decarboniser for awhile now and along with the AW10 oil additive our 2015 Holden Colorado is running a lot smoother and quieter, even when towing. Overall this is a brand that continues to earn my trust and respect.

Continuing to use to give error free running of my captiva. I had serious problems with this vehicle and using this product along with the support from cem has fixed it. It was a split intercooler hose causing incorrect fuel gas mix clogging dpf egr inlet and turbo. Hoses have been replaced with quality silicone ones. These products assist in less carbon build up and clean injectors. No black soot now double dose treatment completed six times. My dpf light hasnt come on for 2400 klms and vehicle is now operating normally. Thankyou Cost Effective Maintenance.
