REDEX Petrol Fuel System Cleaner 4 x 500ML

Product Information

As I outlined in previous reports, the type of fuel additive that I’ve been using is a fuel system cleaner rather than an octanebooster. The best results were, unsurprisingly, achieved at times when my regular commute was combined with longer A-road and motorway driving. Redex Lead Replacement maintains good engine performance by stopping valve seat recession, so it protects the fragile components within classic engines.

As I’ve made clear previously, this isn’t a laboratory test in controlled conditions but rather a real-world trial that gives a decent indication of what any driver can expect in everyday life. I have heard that dripping it into the carburettor, producing clouds of smoke, is a good way of de-carbonising the cylinder head. Then the advanced product will give a deep clean, keeping the engine working at its best for longer.e. when one was allowed to play with hazardous substances) that we managed to dissolve carbon - using boiling strong sulphuric acid, which wouldn't do engine parts any good at all, would it? I did find one excellent use for Redex apart from the usual shot per gallon into the fuel tank - I used a small amount in my Thorens 160's turntable spindle housing to reduce friction to the minimum when the turntable was in use. There are plenty of opportunities for the fuel to collect debris and impurities anywhere along that journey that can clog up your fuel system, so adding a system cleaner every now and again seems like a worthwhile investment in preventative maintenance to protect my engine against future damage. My fuel economy figures haven’t shown any changes that could really be attributed to the Redex products.

There has been no noticeable difference in performance, and I suspect you’d need a laboratory to really show any improvement. I'm sitting in the back of my dad's Moggy outside Park Lane (no not that one) Garage and petrol's about 4/8d. As discussed elsewhere there isn't a lubricant standard established for diesel fuels, so some oil companies skimp on this. Please note though, Redex has been safe-tested at 4 times the recommended dose, so please don’t exceed this. If you’re new to fuel additives, you might have questions about how they work, what benefits they offer, and whether they’re compatible with your type of vehicle.Originally from Australia, Stuart has had a passion for cars and the automotive industry for over thirty years. If they really do improve matters, then I would have thought the fuel companies would put them in anyway. Not really anything to do with de-coking but reminds me of the time I sold a 1986 Astra to a mate in Leicester. The principle with the fuel system cleaner additives is that a clean fuel system will perform more efficiently than a clogged fuel system, much like your heart being able to pump blood more freely through clear arteries than clogged ones.

I have a Mitsubishi Shogun – is there a particular product you’d recommend adding to its diesel tank every few months? When the injectors are clean the fuel sprays in clean jets, but the build up impairs this so the fuel isn't used as efficiently. My car only has about 30,000 miles on the clock with a full Mazda service history, so it’s in pretty good nick. Can you recommend a product for a 20-year-old Chevy Silverado with a 5l petrol engine and 170,000 miles on the clock?I use Redex in my diesels, particularly just before MoT's or just after seeing black smoke in the rear view mirror: none have failed MOT's due to emissions, nor have I ever had the injectors serviced in any way. With lighter traffic conditions during August, my fuel economy improved by more than 10% compared to the same journeys in heavier traffic. Secondly, I felt a definite sense of confidence that I was taking positive steps to keep my engine clean and operating at peak efficiency. In the variable nature of the real world, and in a well-maintained modern car, I couldn’t detect any difference. Given that the additives I’ve been using are not performance boosters as such, I wasn’t expecting to feel any noticeable differences to my car’s accelerative qualities.

So, for a standard 15l motorbike fuel tank, you’re looking at around 38ml of system cleaner per full tank of fuel (roughly half a standard shot). The goal isn’t to turn regular unleaded into premium unleaded by increasing the car’s octane number, but simplyto give all the tiny pipes and injectors a thorough clean so they can do their thing without being clogged up. This means you don’t have to drive for long distances to get your engine up to a high temperature, which is normally how you keep a particulate filter regenerating. Below is a table of my last recording before starting withthe Redex products, followed by one tank of the heavy-duty Redex Advanced 5-in-1 system cleaner and then six tanks using the regular Redex petrol system cleaner. Clogged arteries also mean your heart has to work harder and is at greater risk of heart damage, and your engine is no different.After the initial 500mL dose of Redex Advanced 5-in-1 system cleaner, I have been adding a small 90mL bottle of Redex petrol system cleaner every time I have filled up my fuel tank for three months. However, if you add a single shot by mistake, it won’t cause any harm and will get to work as normal, circulating through the fuel lines to remove dirt and deposits from the fuel injectors. If it’s young enough to have a DPF fitted, regular use of the Redex DPF cleaner can avoid costly repair or replacement bills, too.
