Posted: 17:44 - 23 May 2017 Post subject: Redex diesel system cleaner. |
|

ASDA are doing 3 bottles for seven quid.

I have never been an additive person for fuels because I've never felt the need but seeing this cheap I bought it with the intention of putting a bottle in my narrow boat BMC diesel engine.
Wifie has a Megane turbo 1.5 and daughter has a C5 with a 1.5 (same engine?) in it so I have enough for those two cars as well.
I have no problem chucking any old shit in the BMC, it would take liquid grinding paste to fuck it up. 30 odd BHP from 1500 cc is hardly epic power output.
What about the turbo car engines though? Is it worth it or not? Has anyone with practical experience of using this stuff got any comments. At £7 for 3 bottle I'm not bothered if the consensus is don't be stupid, clean the toilet with it. ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

Cetane rating. I doubt Redex does boost it otherwise it would be plastered all over the packaging.
I used to use Millers in my old diesel for maximum placebo effect. Far cheaper per tank than Redex and it claimed greater benefits.

Alas, the trip computer and regular fuelly logs noticed no discernible increase in MPG. I'd save far more by starting my journey 2 minutes earlier and driving a bit slower. ____________________ Yamaha FZ6 S2 |

The fuel has cleaners in it from the refinery which probably do as much 'cleaning' as the Snake Oil Redex et al peddle.
Better driving style will save more fuel and cost nothing and probably be faster too as you do not have waste time buying and phaphing with pouring Potions into your tank. ____________________ Disclaimer: The comments above may be predicted text and not necessarily the opinion of MCN. |

Old school (indirect injection, non common rail engines pre 2000) actually run better on vegetable oil. It's a better lubricant for the fuel pumps and burns slower than diesel making the engine smoother and noticeably quieter. You can expect to lose about 5%-10% omppfhhh and a little MPG due to this however if you're processing WVO you're talking pennies a litre anywho
Don't put un-processed vegtable oil, fresh or other wise near a modern diesel unless you like breaking fuel pumps and injectors tho |

Can I interest you in my Diesel Rekki additive?
It's an amazing new low input 100% environmentally safe product based on ancient Chinese medicinal practices.
In a recent trial, all users noticed a significant reduction in the available fuel spend.
Simply payal me £50 and you will notice the difference straight away. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

Well, if the worst it can do is nothing, I'll stick it in the cars and the boat now I've bought it.
Cheers chaps. ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

What if the water trick knocks off big flakes which lodge in between the ring and the piston and then score fcuk out of the bore?

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 6 years, 293 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
