I asked the same question a while ago. No answers unfortunatly, but if someone came up with something it would be worth a fortune

denatured alcohol - contains lotsa oxygen. put in enough to make about a 10-20% mixture in you tank. find it in the paint supply section.

also retard you timing a couple of degrees - keeps combustion temps down to minimize the NOx emissions

U2U Avoneer, i seem to recal he said he used something for this ...

I was advised by my MOT tester a few years ago to use something called "Add-it" to reduce the emisions. I never actually bought it - seem to remember he gave the certificate anyway I was a very good customer at the time - it was where I got my company car serviced about every 6 weeks!

Peugeot sell a diesel additive called Forte, there may well be a petrol version too

Ask for Forte Gas treatment, think that is what you want, best of luck. Rusty

I got something but its not FORTE.I does say on the bottle it will reduce emissionsJust what im looking for

Add It
That's the stuff I used. Brought my CO2 down from 3.7 to 0.9. Also dissolved all the rust in my Tiger supplied tank to sludge and blocked my fuel filter, but passed the emissions anyway...

Will this stuff work on modern cars, with a CAT, without problems ? I need to get my mates M reg Festa through, its just over the limit. Faffed around doing an engine swap and various other stuff, runs ace but failed on emissions
