Redex LOYRADD1501A Petrol Fuel System Cleaner 500ml

Product Information

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. I have used one quarter of it, 125ml, then added about 25 litters of 95 unleaded, I still had about 15 litters in my tank. OVERALL: Good product. Performance and emissions difference is noticeable, but don't expect the world. Generally, makes the motor run smoother. 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. 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 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? 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. As with Cataclean, we often get a lot of questions in our chat box regarding Redex and how best to use it. So we thought we’d write a short article covering the most common questions as well as providing the instructions from the manufacturer. Redex instructions 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. 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?

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? 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. OVERALL: Good product. Performance and emissions difference is noticeable, but don't expect the world. Generally, makes the motor run smoother.

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 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. 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. Given that the additives I’ve been using are not performance boosters as such, I wasn’t expecting to feel any noticeable differences to my car’s accelerative qualities. If that was the point, Redex has products like its Petrol Power Booster. Alternatively, I could just fill my tank with premium unleaded fuel, which has a higher octane level than regular unleaded and provides extra power. I’ve just finished a three-month trial of Redex fuel system additives in my Mazda MX-5 to see if I could feel any increase in my car’s performance or measure any significant difference in its fuel economy.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. 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.

Each Redex bottle clearly shows how many shots it contains on the front label, with easy guide ‘shot’ marking on the side. Adding more than one shot of Redex won’t do any harm to your car and can give you a more intensive clean, so don’t worry if your pouring isn’t exact. 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. 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. They have just started to sell Redex in the filling station in Dalian China where my wife fills up , we do mostly stop start short trips & she has been told to put the additive in for 5 fills that's all . the car is not all that old & has done 40000km's which is nothing I don't think it is a bad thing. H226 - Flammable liquid and vapourH304 May be fatal if swallowed and enters airways.H336 May cause drowsiness or dizziness.H412 Harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects.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. 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.

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!) 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. 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. Free Delivery is not available for Over-Sized parcels, such as Exhausts, Radiators & Headlamps - For details on these items please see the 'Oversized Items' section below.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. Keep a look out for our new Petrol System Cleaner coming to stores soon, and look for the E10 logo.
