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. Redex System Cleaner (Petrol and Diesel)– Use whenever you fill up the tank, or every other time you fill up, depending on mileage and the age of the car. When in the Air Force, I was told that Redex was the same stuff as what we called OM15. That was a mineral hydraulic oil with fairly good detergent properties and anti-foaming additives etc. It was much cheaper to take a can of OM15 once a year, and it seemed to have the same effect as Redex. That is, nothing really quantifiable, but no harm done either. I have heard that dripping it into the carburettor, producing clouds of smoke, is a good way of de-carbonising the cylinder head.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. 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.

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. Used to do the plug out & red Ex in, in our Talbot horizon - made it one of the few non-rattly ones in existence, while we owned it!!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 Keep a look out for our new Petrol System Cleaner coming to stores soon, and look for the E10 logo. Thanks for the tip, but since I bought the magnets and used Xtralub ZX1 I don't need anything else. 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. Specially formulated for diesel engines, Redex Diesel System Cleaner is an easy addition to your car

If I use Redex System Cleaner regularly, do I still need to use Redex Advanced Fuel System Cleaner every 3,000 miles, and if so, why?Yes, you can use Redex fuel system cleaners on any vehicle fitted with an exhaust treatment system such as Adblue® or a lean NOx trap as they treat different parts 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. Over time harmful deposits will build up on your fuel injectors and this will impair the function. 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. The initial baseline figure of 30mpg is pretty indicative of my usual fuel economy result, although usually that’s relying on the car’s trip computer reading rather than direct measurement. Redex is available in a range of bottle sizes and each is designed to deliver the correct amount to treat 50 litres or one tank of fuel. The Redex "one shot" bottles contain 125ml, which is one "dose" of Redex for a full tank.

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? 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. Clogged arteries also mean your heart has to work harder and is at greater risk of heart damage, and your engine is no different. Over time, clogged fuel injectors can potentially lead to expensive engine damage.Also, if your tank is larger or smaller than 50 litres you can still use the recommended dosage with same level of performance being achieved. Redex Lead Replacement maintains good engine performance by stopping valve seat recession, so it protects the fragile components within classic engines. It’s also safe to use other Redex products, such as our Petrol System Cleaner, in a classic car, and this help will keep it in the very best condition, removing harmful deposits to help improve engine life. Firstly, if you have an older or higher-mileage car, you are far more likely to see noticeable improvements in performance and fuel economy compared to a newer, lower-mileage vehicle. Given that fuel deposits and debris build up in your engine over time, it makes sense that you’ll notice a greater improvement in an older engine that has seen a few million more fuel explosions than a newer engine. If I’d been running the same test on an older car I am sure I would have seen some more noticeable results, but unfortunately I don’t have an older car to call upon for such a purpose (and buying an old banger to drive for three months didn’t really appeal!) 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. 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.
