Redex £2 a bottle @ tescos

[Catflem]

They have both the petrol and diesel versions available.

The only drawback is that the instructions state that it should be added to a full tank of fuel......... I can't remember the last time I filled up, and its going to be a bloody long time before I do so again

Also got this deal on in Asda! I run my lawnmower on the stuff at the moment

Ijust thrown the whole bottle in with half of tank,
it hasnt done it any harm, wouidnt do that on a petrol car tho,
ithink it shouid of been half of bottle to a full tank,

the Redex as worked a treat on mine, iwont be using it for another 6mths or so tho,
they rekon it can knaker pumps if used frequently,

Does this have any noticeable effect on diesels (both HDI and TD)? In other words, has anyone actually noticed any more power or better fuel efficiency after sticking a bottle of this stuff in? If they have, then I may well invest in a few bottles as I cover some serious mileage every month.

inall honesty, mine was down in power with the red ex in,
but now the tank as emptied and re filled its made a big diffence, its alot smoother
id use it again but once every 6mths or before a service just give it a clear out

For a diesel use either Millers Eco max or the best additive I've ever used is oridinary, low ash mineral two stroke oil! 250ml per tank.

i used a rather conservative amount back when i used to fill the tank, a capful, no difference was noticeable, lozz stated a better dosage which i shall put into the car the next time i go to put in some diesel, but how much should i put in with £25 of diesel ie about 18 litres.

The correct doseage is half a bottle to a full tank, but bearing in mind that tanks vary wildly in size across different manufacturers, I don't think that the exact doseage is critical..

Give or take a bit, 18 litres would be about a third of a tank, a third of a half is a sixth....... so if you put in a 6th of a bottle you shouldn't be far wrong (250ml /6 = 42ml).

It says on the Redex bottles that a typical tank is 50 litres.

Any time I used it, it was half a bottle in a full 70 litre tank.

a quarter of a bottle shouid be enough on £25 worth of fuel mate,.
dont expect the mpg to increase tho, its the After effect of the Redex you will benifit from,
id say around 2-3 mpg loss will accur whilst running the redex through it but once its all been run through it you will notice a big differnce,

dont use it often once every 5-6mths is good enough irekon
