Hi,

1) Redex injector cleaner

2) STP

3) Slick 50

I would go for Slick 50 not only cleans the fuel system but also helps combustion chambers and intake valves. It is on the expensive side, i think £14.99 400ml.

There's also Forte which is highly used and recommended.

Are these all fuel additives?

I once used a spray, about 7 years ago, that sprayed directectly into the intlet manifold.

It gave great results, but I can't remeber what it was called.

How often do you use the additives?

Does anyone know of a good spray?

how do these work? do you pour it in with the fuel? never used one before but would like to treat the engine to a nice clean instead of the external all the time

I've remembered the name of the product I used and had good results with:

10K Boost. Has anyone used this?

Yes I believe all of those are ones which you add to say 50 litres of fuel.

I use the STP fuel system cleaner which is £15 from Halfords.

Did a bit of research a and that seemed to be the best that was available over here apparently, it would seem you get what you pay for with these additives.

An even better one was called BG44K but I could not find anyone near me that sells it!

An ideal time to use some would be before an oil change as some of the additives can work their way into the oil

Oh and no I don't work for Halfords

I've found it here:

Looks interesting. Bit easier to apply than the 10k Boost

I've read mixed views with these. Forte do one that cleans the piston crown, injectors and ensures a good spray patter, better burn and therefore less unburnt fuel to carbon up the EGR and turbo.

I use Millers DSP 4 at the moment, not every tank. I tend to use an additive more so in winter.

I'm sure BG44K is an ingrediant with the additive that is supposed to be good!! I'll have to do some more research. The octane rating is not raised with Forte, but with the others it's typicaly by 3-5.
