I used this on my 1983 300SD turbo diesel that hadn't started in 24 years. After testing and calibrating the injectors, adjusting the valves and checking the compression, I used a diesel fuel flush directly in the fuel line. At first the engine jerked and rattled, but over time I could actually hear the engine becoming quieter. After about 45 minutes, occasionally cranking the engine up to 3000rpm, it was running like a new engine with no smoke. Amazing product.
