I usually put these types of products in the bull manure catagory.
A well run and maintained engine should be fine.
I have a 2.8 jtd and one of my manufacturers gave me a half a dozen bottles of various named products to try.
I did the trials for him in my 2.0 Fiat scudo .
The results were, no apreciable increase in mpg.
No lessening of the black smoke when accelerating hard.
He was pleased with the results as he manufactures and packs for several leading brand names.
Occasionally a dose of injector cleaner will do no harm.
This is my personal experiance.
I have driven diesel vans over one million miles in the last 25 years.
For increased performance hit the floor with the accelerater.
For economy apply a lighter touch.

We put Forte's diesel additive every three to four full tank fillups. We used this or the petrol version along with an engine flush when servicing customers vehicles. You could try Wynns fuel additve from your local motor factor

I did listen to a programme on Radio4 a while ago where an "expert" said that the premium fuels sold by Shell and BP were worth a punt once or twice a year.
Her argument was that the fuel does contain detergents which will clean your injectors etc and that will improve your performance/economy. Although they do also contain cetane enhancers, which do improve your performance, the improvement does not justify the extra cost.
I choose to clean my injectors by buying a tank full once or twice a year.
I've started to put 250ml of 2stroke oil in each tank full for my car and van as I was able to buy it at £2 per ltr. This was on the advice of someone on these forums. It's not causing any smoke so I'll see how it goes.

You might be a bit heavy on the 2 stroke oil Bill.
The recommendation that I got was 100 ml of oil to 70 litres of fuel. That is about a tankful on the majority of m/homes.

Like BillCreer I add 100ml. 2 stroke oil to a fill of my old pre electronic Fiat 2.8i DTD. I also add 100ml. every third or fourth fill to an old 1.9 ZX.
I'm not saying that I have noticed any appreciable difference in performance only a smoothness in the engines. They seem to sing along much smoother at 50 to 60 mph.
Unless it's my hearing aid.
