Well if no-one moves on this I need to get one myself.
Just put the last of my 5ltr in my D3 today.

This offer applies to all orders over £20 for delivery in the UK mainland only.
So for a single 5Ltr I make that £55 plus free shipping.
If so, how do I order ? ...... always on the road less travelled 🚧

I can't do it over the weekend as it;s not on the site and I can't edit items on the site, but I'll get it done on Monday. With the reduced price, I don't think we can do the free shipping, but again I'll find out on Monday.
Cheers

I did a calculation based on my 34mpg in my manual Disco 3
1 gallon = 4.55ltr
l Ltr = 7.47 mile (@ 34mpg)
5 ltrs of Ecomax at a mixture of 1 part to 1,000 (1ml per Ltr of fuel)
= 5,000 ltrs treated (1.1p ltr @ offer price)
= 37,363 miles of motoring
GREAT VALUE in my opinion 
SIGN ME UP, I will take a 5ltr of Ecomax for £55 incl delivery

Now I'm back in the office, I've had a chance to look at the prices and unfortunately we can't do the free shipping as we have heavily reduced the price of the Ecomax at £55 for 5L. With the shipping it will come to £60.80 to most mainland UK customers (except Highlands) and I think the cheapest price I could find online is around £73, so that's a pretty good saving. I'm just waiting on some pictures from Millers and we'll get a special page set up for you to order from at the reduced price.
Discotres - I have found something for you that may be a better choice for your boat than the the Ecomax. I remember you mentioned a fungi and bacteriocide that you use and weren't sure about mixing it with the Ecomax, but Millers make a product called Eclipse Powercide Plus, which seems to be a mix of the Ecomax and bacteriocide and fungicide. It's classed as a commercial product, so is likely to be available in larger size containers, reducing the price per litre. When I can find out some more about it, I'll let you know.
Cheers

Thanks Tim, my engines are new diesel Volvo's, 480hp, so burning 80ltr an hour at 35knts cruising speed, in the summer we are out every weekend, Channel Islands, France or South Coast so the fuel is used pretty rapidly, 500 ltrs a weekend is not unusual. I think the vulnerable time is over the winter period when we don't do so many long journeys or use so much fuel, this is where the diesel bug can get in. We have not had a problem as our fuel is treated and we keep the tanks full eliminating the condensation that can build up in the tank causing moisture in the diesel.
Rather than get off topic here, send me a PM and a link to the product and I will have a look at it, also interested if you have a similar product to Activ8 for oil treatment for both car and boat. I keep a motorbike on the boat so will treat that as well with both the fuel and oil treatment if you feel it is suitable for that, it's petrol by the way unlike the others that are diesel.
Cheers,

I see there is now an option to buy 5lt Diesel Ecomax on the Opie website 
But..... the member price is £71.53 delivered
Is there a special code that we should use to get it at the £60.80 quoted above?
