I've been sent links to www.dipetane.net.. According to the website you add dipetane to your petrol or diesel and you get a 10-17percent efficiency increase and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
According to Wikipedia* it's a fuel enhancer that improves the quality of combustion of any liquid fuel and it reduces emissions of CO2 up to 25%, CO up to 9.5%, NOx from 28.8% and SOx from 19.9%.
So why aren't we all using it?

* Apparently this link was to a Wiki user page rather than the Wiki proper and the information was 'commercial content' and so John Quiggin has had the information removed, so the link no longer works, see comments from John below. And I'm wondering whether the 'commercial content', as repeated in this blog post, is factually correct or not?
used dipetane for three month 3 mpg better in my diesel pickup. my friend also get about the same results
Same here. I heard a friend talking about it, but he's and OTR Trucker, and gets it when he can find it. I don't know where down here in Mississippi to buy it. Any suggestions? What about prices?
i would love to try some dipetane, but dont know were to get it.
Just came across your blog. As a manufacturer and blender of Dipetane it always is of interest to see the dialogue that takes place when the discussion turns to fuel technology. While most folks can speak from first hand end user experience, it is the scientist, fleet manager and energy expert that can validate a product via quantitative analysis. Few folks out there have knowledge of TMC II testing or know what the J1321 test is about. Thus one needs to look at the source of information and both the independent 3rd party testing and live fleet data to truly validate a this type of product.In the case of Dipetane, 18 years of history seeks volumes.
Why is it not a brand that everyone know? Simple economics is the reason. Until US cost of fuel reached record levels, the ROI on Dipetane did not excite bulk commercial users. Today, most corporatins are under sever margin pressure due operational and transportations costs that have skyrocketed because of the increased cost of fuel.
While there is a recent level of complacency due to a recent slight decline in the cost of fuel, most smart fleet operators are preparing for the next round of high energy costs. Many are starting to implement Dipetane as part of their program.
If you would like to try some Dipetane, let me know..I'll send you a sample.
