    This stuff is on ebay at over £7 a throw. It is recommended that you use it with every fill up.

    Anyone any experience with it?
     
  2. Why? It's in their interests that you do.

  3. Snake oil
     
  4. When I stripped the carbs on my CB750 sohc , (it hadn’t run since 1995) they had brown tarnish on all the internal surfaces, I put neat Redex fuel system cleaner on it and scrubbed with a toothbrush , it didn’t even begin to remove the staining, at this point I wrote Redex off as snake oil, a quick blast with aerosol carb cleaner immediately removed the tarnish, modern fuels have detergents in them, I believe that at least on carburated engines they are a waste of time, whether fuel injectors are cleaned by any of these additives I don’t know, but again modern fuels contain detergent, if your reason for adding it is for storage you’ll need fuel stabiliser not cleaner.

  7. Super shiny snake oil methinks
     
  8. I have used redex, normally when I've just bought a bike or car so unsure of it's history in regards to internal cleaning, I've used sea foam on an old mechanical muscle car. I don't honestly know if either works as I think they should do, but it's more as a pacifier and habit than anything else

    I tend to use them once at the beginning and then never again. Most U.K. modern fuels are upto the job. Most of the time I put fuel in and just drive.
