About this deal

Talking of de-carbonising,whilst attending Grantham Tech in the mid-late `70`s,amongst the various engines,cutaways etc we had in the w/shop dept ,there was a Commer 2-stroke diesel engine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commer_TS3 .Was told that on reaching the finite amount of carbon build-up that clearances on this fascinating engine allowed they would self de-carbonise whilst vehicle was on the move...probably not a nice vehicle to be following at such a time.

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. I mentioned in my last report that I’d previously noticed a slight cough or misfire from the Mazda on a couple of occasionsprior to using the Redex products, but hadn’t noticed anything since using the fuel system cleaners. I can report that the engine has still been running cleanly over the last six weeks, so the stuff appears to be doing its job in that respect. Summary Redex makes the engine run smoother. I have made HP/KW tests before and after Redex and there is a noticeable difference. Removes built-up carbon from the underside of the valves. Reduces emissions, tested it on my car before and after before MOT inspection. It has markings on its side so you know how much to put in, but it's hard to judge once the bottle is upside down.Redex Petrol System Cleaner is a fuel additive specially developed to reduce emissions and restore performance in your fuel system. It is compatible with E10 fuel, and our new updated formula also protects against corrosion from E10 fuel, so it can be used safely in all petrol cars. Our Redex experts or ‘RedExperts’ were recently asked “what is the mix ratio for Redex?”– the mix ratio for Redex is 1 shot per 50 litres of fuel, which equates to 2.5ml per litre of fuel. Take a look at our video.

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 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.

Redex instructions

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. In my situation, I don’t think I really need to keep using the additives at that rate in my car. I am likely to add a 90mL bottle every month or so and probably use the concentrated cleaner every six months to keep the Mazda’s fuel system sparkling clean. If I had an older car (or when this one starts getting older and higher-mileage), I’d keep using it every tank or at least every other tank. One shot of Redex fuel cleaner is capable of treating a fifty-litre fuel tank, but those who have never used a fuel additive before – or those who own an older car – may wish to use two shots for an intensive clean, particularly during first application. Keep a look out for our new Petrol System Cleaner coming to stores soon, and look for the E10 logo.

Since May, I’ve been recording my fuel economy every time I fill up the tank – manually noting down the litres added and mileage covered, rather than relying on the car’s trip computer – and adding a dose of Redex to the tank. Redex Petrol fuel additives can be used safely with new E10 fuel in E10 compatible cars, as well as with E5. How Much Should I Use? My fuel economy figures haven’t shown any changes that could really be attributed to the Redex products. The variation of 3-4mpg above or below the average based on driving conditions and traffic outweighs any potential gain from the products. Again, if you were running a laboratory experiment that directly measured fuel consumption and removed all other variables then you may be able to show an improvement, but it’s nothing really noticeable. Redex is fully compatible with E10 fuel and they’ve recently updated their formula to protect against possible corrosion from using E10 fuel, so it can be used in all petrol vehicles. Can Redex be used in a hybrid car? Over about 2,000 miles of mainly commuting in three months, my average fuel consumption using the Redex fuel system cleaners was 31.1mpg. My driving circumstances in that time have been a pretty representative example of my usual activities, so superficially it looks like a 1mpg improvement since using Redex.Given that your engine creates dozens of explosions every single second, there’s a lot of combustion going on under your bonnet. With any burning of fuel, there will be deposits and debris that forms. Sometimes it’s obvious, like the ash that forms when you burn a log in a fireplace. Other times, like in your car’s engine, these deposits are microscopic, but the principle is the same. Over time, these deposits build up and affect your ability to keep burning the fuel properly. Please note though, Redex has been safe-tested at 4 times the recommended dose, so please don’t exceed this. What is the Mix Ratio for Redex?

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. Each Redex bottle clearly shows how many fuel additive doses it contains on the front label, with easy marking on the side. 1 dose, is determined around the average size tank size at 50Litres. There has been no noticeable difference in performance, and I suspect you’d need a laboratory to really show any improvement. In the variable nature of the real world, and in a well-maintained modern car, I couldn’t detect any difference. The purpose of the Redex fuel system cleaners is to remove this build-up of deposits and keep the fuel injection system clean. By doing so, the fuel will burn more cleanly and therefore give you better performance and fuel economy as the engine is working more efficiently. Pour in one dose of Redex – The size of Redex bottle you have will determine the amount to pour in. A single dose will treat a 50 litre tank
