Redex

[PRTVR]

I use DEA fuel system cleaner, you can notice a diffrence after you have run it through the system,

not a great fan of redex, my son had a 205 diesel, that when he started it disappeared in a cloud of white smoke, tried redex on it and it made no diffrence, I had bought some cleaner off one of the selling TV channels, I think it was called ASTA 2000, after using it the smoke was gone completly.

This is the bit i like,i remember using it on my first TVR a 3000M,took about 5 miles to clear through the system,clouds of white smoke chuffing out the pipes

Methinks, That's the stuff poured through the induction not the fuel tank?

Correct.

Thanks Rigga, glad out memory is intact. Used the induction stuff must be 20 years ago on my then TR7 V8. Nice your 500, sensible mods. Cheers.

I've used seafoam on my mini as it's direct injection and suffers from coking up inlet valves as there's no fuel passing over them to wash off the carbon build up from the dirty oil recurculated through the breather system.

Will it give me another 50hp ?

Only if you put two bottles in.

after one tank with redex, I can say the car feels more powerful and less shunty! Happy

I've always put it through on any second-hand car that I've bought.

However - the engine in the Chim is only 6k miles old, and it's run on V-Power or BP Ultimate - both of which contain cleaners anyway - so I'm not sure there would be any benefit at this stage!

I put carb-cleaner through the inlet mani of my S2000 a couple of years back. There was a lot of smoke and it definitely felt better for it - for all of 1k miles before it dropped its bottom end. No idea if the two were linked - but I'll probably steer clear of injecting into the IM again just in case!
