Hello all
Hope your all good
Just a quick question
I’m thinking about putting a injector cleaner in my fuel to lubricate
Is it worth it as I only use BP ultimate
Is this doing the job or would a additive help ?
Thanks

Heres my view on it, It may not help, but its unlikely to harm, I regularly chuck some in, and hope that its doing something.

FFS, here we go again on the premium fuel debate.

I use BP ultimate in my car always. Its a diesel.

Every quarter of year is put in a shot of Redex injector cleaner.

Each to their own.

It's not a debate as it's a con just like the whole diesel debacle to raise revenue .

Premium diesel is a con because Cetane number is not disclosed in this country , to boost Cetane use a bonified Cetane booster like 2-EHN , buy 5L for £36 and only 50ml needs to go in per tank .

To clean the fuel system £2 for 250ml Redex that does 2 full tanks, stop debating and start understanding !

Premium petrol is a different matter with it's disclosed and higher Octane number .

I wish people would stop linking that idiot Cadogan.
He's just another attention seeking journalist.

I was trying to be polite.
He's right there alongside Scotty Kilmer.

Scotty Kilmer has got to be a parody of Dale Grible from king of the hill. The guy is obsessed with his Toyota Celica
