At first i noticed a silence in the engine and as i revved it it got quieter. I didnt notice any black smoke out the pipe maybe because it was running on wvo/rug mix. But it did silence it.

I went by diesel giants instructions and the end result was troubling at first. After i did the purge i changed the fuel filters and filled them with PS diesel kleen gray bottle. primped and pumped as much as i can the car wouldnt start so i had to keep going over and over pumping. Eventually it started but not perfectly. i had to pushing the "gas" pedal back and fourth and if i let it idle it would shut off. So i had to keep going back and fourth to keep it from shutting off. and see if it would eventually rev high and loud. and it did but had hick-ups as i was trying to get it out of the driveway.

and it felt like it was gonna die once i was down the hill

So i put it in nuetral and revved the hell out of it untill it smoothened out but it didnt still had hick-ups. So i say f*ck it just take it around the block and as im trying to take it up a slight hill i notice im flooring it and going at 10mph (not exactly sure on speed since speedo broken) but it was pretty slow. So i put it all the way at 2nd and you could hear the engine giving all it could and then started really slowing down and it rattled and died

Get it started again and take it straight home and hick-ups while idling but i revved it over and over. took it around the block again

AND GOD DAMN!!! The car can haul major A$$!!!!!!! it was flying and i smoked the tires a bit! i was amazed!! this lil can of magic was a miracle worker!!!

thanks for the instructions diesel giant and thank you lubro moly!!!!!!

Probably better to fill the new fuel filters with plain diesel. Power Service by itself doesn't run very well at all.

Glad to hear you had good results with diesel purge.

maybe next time a do a purge ill pour in diesel, but when i changed the fuel filter on my dads 300D i filled it with ps diesel kleen and poured the rest in the tank, started her up and ran just fine. Maybe had something to do with wvo/rug? i dont know but im happy now the car runs great!

Just realized something! the bottle of diesel purge says liqui moly not lubro moly

. Is there a difference? i bought these on ebay coming straight from the UK. is it called liqui moly over there maybe?

you should have just bought it from dieselgiant directly instead of ebaying your engine cleaning. glad to hear of the improvement.

Glad to hear of the fine purge results! It does a wonder job in most cases. The old style can used "Liqui Moly" and the new and fresh cans are taller and say "Lubro Moly". Lubro Moly is the actual company name. Kind of like Datsun/Nissan. All of the new German stock is in the taller skinner cans. The old stock is in the shorter cans. Both cans hold the same 500ml.
