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. I drive a MK2 mondeo diesel. Would the redex for petrol cars be ok in the diesel. Are the two different bottles (red for petrol, dark green for diesel) just marketing, and really same stuff underneath or are they different? 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.

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. 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 partsI have a Mitsubishi Shogun – is there a particular product you’d recommend adding to its diesel tank every few months?

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. 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. Yes, you can use Redex in any combustion engine. Our fuel additives are suitable for use in cars, vans, motorbikes, tractors or anything with a petrol or diesel engine, and even hybrids.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!) I have used injector cleaners in the past that stated on the bottle as suitable for both petrol and diesel, so this got me thinking.

I did find one excellent use for Redex apart from the usual shot per gallon into the fuel tank - I used a small amount in my Thorens 160's turntable spindle housing to reduce friction to the minimum when the turntable was in use.

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.

How Much Redex Should I Add To My Vehicle

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. 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.Redex DPF Cleaner lowers the burning temperature of the soot trapped in your car’s particulate filter system, meaning that it burns away more efficiently during regular day-to-day driving. This means you don’t have to drive for long distances to get your engine up to a high temperature, which is normally how you keep a particulate filter regenerating. 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. 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. 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.
