Wynns EDT, wouldn't run a diesel without it, lubricates all the injector pump seals and kills any fuel bug, our diesel is garbage.

Strange. All of my diesels run fine without additives.Some have over 10,000 hrs on the clock and the rocker covers have never been removed.

Rubbish nztools just like some of your products only last 3 weeks and crap out. Then ask me to pay for courier fees to return to get fixed and again to send back to me. And then only last 2 weeks.
Nothing wrong with putting a additive in fuel tank every now and again.

Moreys Diesel injector clean works well .

injector cleaner is used at maintainance by all big servicie agents like volkswagen gilltrap. I have seen them on each service on my tdi vw service history . Now injector cleaner is not like winns edt or chemtech. its just a one off cleaner to once clean the injectors with the fuel in the tank. You do want on each tank some extra lubrication. for new diesel and european diesel chemtech would be sufficient for japanese i would only use winns edt. Winns edt claims to prevent fuel seal shrinkage and damage to injector system due to low lubrication of new diesel. The problem is called ulsd= ultra low sulfur-diesel. you can read the net about ulsd problems each batch of diesel can be more or less lubricating due to the factory making diesel having to use loads of hydrogen to lower the sulfur to the level the rules say it has to be, and we all know marsdenpoint isa infirior outdated plant and thet they use the most cheap product for maximum profit. This is why you need to add a lubrication additive to each tank of diesel chemtech is cheap 1 liter is 38$ and you can treat 1000liter diesel with it it is added like 2 stroke has its own squirty bowl to put the correct milli liters in

Now this ulsd problem exists for any diesel . They have developed new injector nozzle for the likes of vw tdi ultra hard dimaond they call it, ulsd save nozzle as the missing lube bashes the nozzles without enough cushion protection on nozzle head an plunger causing exess premature wear. just look at toyota d4d diesel craping out like dead flys i would not wonder if the 2012 model suposedly now fixed the problemaccording to some here runs ulsd save nozzle. On older diesel you got no chance you got so mutch seals that can and will fail that ulsd nozzle would only be part of the whole system that gets damaged , like injector pump K-line shim wear is also caused by ulsd.
now back to your questionWhat car year and what engine. You would want to delete the egr on a diesel if possibile. I just unpluged the egr on my tdi diesel and so far no check engine light. it has however a chiptuning map program upgrade that might have already corrected the egr delete. cars like mazda capella 2002 diesel direct injector throw a big woobly at you when you unplug the egr vaccume hose and block it and there seems to be no forums or information about that car makers diesel engines to delete it correctly.

Most dealers will sell a bottle of injector cleaner on a service, it's easy money. The dealership I worked for in oz paid commission on a number of different up-sell items - I think it was $5 on every injection clean I sold.

Draining water out of your fuel tank will also kill the bug.
