Millers Oils EPP Additive Testing on MINI
Car enthusiasts of all makes and models will spend their hard-earned cash making their vehicles work to the best of their ability, but most commonly this comes in the form of engine upgrades, chassis improvements and aesthetic changes. However, despite all of these improvements, it may be that the type of fuel that you put in your car could be having a detrimental effect on overall performance. Even if the fuel you put into your car is up to EN590 or EN228 standards, there is the risk that carbon build-up, clogged valves or dirty injectors can cause performance issues over time. That’s where fuel additives come into play. Many claim to provide a whole range of benefits from cleaning internal systems, improving overall performance and fuel economy, lowering emissions and even extending the workable life of your engine. Most additives are simple enough to use, as they are applied directly into the fuel tank, which then mixes with the fuel and works its way through the fuel lines, pump, injectors and into the combustion chamber. To test out how effective fuel additives can be on a performance vehicle, we tested a range of products from Millers Oils on our demo car Penny, a 2008 1.6 Turbo Cooper S, using our in-house dyno.
