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. As we mentioned above, some service stations will have AdBlue dispensers that you can use to refill your tank. Many, too, will sell both small bottles and larger containers should you need to buy AdBlue in a pinch. Nearly all motor factors will sell it, as will most supermarkets.

It’s important not to start the engine or you risk writing off the engine and fuel system. Call a breakdown company or misfuelling service provider and get the car’s fuel tank emptied and flushed out. 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.

Have your say

Yes, you can. Redex is designed to keep cars on the road, regardless of age. We’ve developed a range of products for different engines, including a specialist Lead Replacement formula specifically designed for vintage cars that run on leaded petrol. AdBlue is crucial for diesel cars to meet the stringent Euro 6 emissions standards. It works to reduce the toxic emissions produced by diesel engines by up to 80%. If your vehicle requires AdBlue and runs out, it might not start, and if it's running low, you could experience a drop in engine performance. Fuel additives have been a staple of car care for decades – you even used to be able to get a shot of Redex added to your tank at the petrol station when you filled up.

Redex fuel additives have been helping people to keep driving since 1922. Our range of petrol and diesel products maintain your car on the inside, keeping your fuel injectors clean and improving performance and efficiency. The permissible level of pollutants that new cars can emit has been reduced significantly in the past couple of years. The introduction of the latest Euro 6 standards demanded a 67% drop in nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the exhaust emissions of diesel cars. The rate at which it is consumed depends on the size of the car and the driving style; the more economical the car and driver, the slower it will be used. VW estimates that theTiguan and Passat use 1.5 litres of AdBlue every 620 miles, and suggests that a tankful of AdBlue gives a driving range of 3,000-4,000 miles for the Tiguan, and 4,000-6,500 miles for the Passat. When your car’s AdBlue level starts to run low it will alert you prior to starting the engine, usually indicating how many miles of driving is remaining. It’s important that you don’t ignore this, as once it runs out it will not be possible to start the engine until the system is refilled.

Modern technology such as SCR and AdBlue is still found mainly in bigger, more expensive diesel models. That is because the system is both too large and too expensive to squeeze into small runabouts.
