449 forum posts 72 photos | I have just had my PEF additive reservoir replaced on my diesel SUV and was amazed to be charged £128 + VAT for a litre of EOYLS fluid to fill the new tank. Naming no names of course but a quick search on the internet would suggest that a litre of the stuff can be purchased for something around £40 and so I would like to know what is going on here. Before taking it up with my garage I would be interested to hear if anyone else has had any simlar experiences to draw upon. |

2536 forum posts 24 photos | Now I get it. EOLYS is injected into fuel tank to clean up emissions and is used predominantly by PSA ( Citroen/Peugeot), Fords with PSA developed engines and some Volvo's. It raises the combustion temperature of particles to help with re-generation and clean the injectors, raised combustion temps are critical to burn off excess particles. Don't buy French |
