This new product comes with a powerful cleaning technology that is successful in protecting diesel-powered vehicles from the build-up of carbon deposits. We all know that these gunk deposits could affect the fuel flow and increase CO2 emissions which are bad for the environment.

In a demonstration that was participated by trucks, the Shell Nitrogen Enriched Diesel was able to render a 4.8% and 1.3% reduction in fuel consumption in many strict stop-and-go services in the city and other less strict counterparts respectively.

The Shell Nitrogen Enriched Diesel will be available for commercial use and even retail car owners in Richmond, Northfolk and Virginia Beach, Baltimore, and Nashville. As for Atlanta, the Shell Nitrogen Enriched Diesel is only offered commercially.

The Shell Nitrogen Enriched Diesel is effective in guarding the engine against corrosion and prevents wear and tear of the injector thanks to its powerful lubricating agents. For winter time, a pack of anti-gel agents are also sold. If the Shell Nitrogen Enriched Diesel is effective in lowering fuel consumption to even the biggest heavy duty automobiles, your car would surely benefit from it especially if you want to cut down on fuel consumption and keep your engine in tip top shape.
