Petrol... And petrol treatment/ cleaner

[Ste]

Right, my bike is decivly dodgy, and seems to be having fuel problems. Thinking about how I put petrol into it, and where its kept first (jerry cans) I thought this might be the case. Looking at the petrol has confirmed this, which can be seen in these pictures.... www.okas.co.uk/stuff/petrol/

Having establied that this is not a good way of fueling my bike, I am not doing it anymore.

But it now has a range of shit in it. I therefore got me some petrol treatment stuff, which claims to cleans engine and all that stuff. Put it in at a petrol station on my way home, and as i went on, bike seems to be getting better. Does anyone have any comments/ experience/ useful knowledge etc about using these. I am using one called "Redex Petrol Treatment" which is a liquid, which I add 10ml to every 10litres of petrol.

cheers

if you have an inline fuel filter I suggest you look at that rather than adding that fuel addative stuff

the addative helps remove gum deposits etc, not remove big F off flakes of crap (thats what the fuel filter is for!)

if you dont have a filter I suggest looking at the float bowls on the carbs and cleaning them as thats where most of that crap and sediment will be sat!
