SupraMan Mk4 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 (edited) Anyone put any of this stuff in with a full tank? If so is it any good? Supposedly makes fuel cleaner etc. I use optimax anyway but is it worth adding this every now and again?

dwayne Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 i thought that stuff just cleaned the injectors etc and didnt affect fuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManwithSupra Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 If you use optimax then i wouldnt of thought there would be any reason to add more fuel cleaner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUNERAIDER Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 kwikfit sell a £20 engine cleaner it comes in a can with a ringpull cant remember the name but you need 80 to 95 litres of petrol to run it. really strong stuff used to clean and bring down immisions. i used it over a tank and a half felt the effects after 40 to 50 miles. red ex only cleans fuel injectors and they get dirty again without the engine clean;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snooze Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I've put some Redex in one of my old cars with an empty tank. I'll tell you what - it burns pretty damn well!! Do NOT do this to your Supra!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwayne Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 i used it once on an xr3i and a valve spring snapped the same day so i blamed redex and never used it again. i did get some good flames from the exhaust till i replaced it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 mines been off the road for a year but when i was running i put red x in every other fill up just using normal unleaded and ive not had any problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Iirc a member used it before he went to his mot as it made emissions better? and it killed the engine for a small time, dont use those things, supra engines are strong, just use normal fuel.
