Title: Fuel injection cleaners
Post by swiss tony on Aug 1^st, 2006, 8:36pm

Hi guys just after a bit of advice on the various fuel and injector cleaning products on the market. Like Redex advance and stp injector cleaner are they any good ?
I know that certain anti friction fluids are best left alone because they can clog up etc ?
Any thoughts would be apreciated
cheers Tony

(for petrol and diesel) ;D

Well Tony,

Using fuel injection cleaners are just like making lo..... ;D

A lot of folk on this site swear by the likes of an Optimax product because of its additives.

I use one tank in three and Redex 1 shot form time to time, seems to work well enough so far.

Hope that helps.

Geoff

I seem to remember reading a very detailed article on this subject
on this site. Had a look but can't find it again. Anyone know where it is?

Found report, it's more to do with oil additives but still makes interesting reading. http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/snakeoil.htm
