    All of these are snake oil rubbish. Try scraping the gunge off the inlet manifold, valves, head and piston crown of an old engine then equate that with the fleeting whiff of any of this junk spends in contact with any part of an engine.
    Don't get me wrong, the price people pay for this stuff is in direct correlation with the effect they claim to experience. Even the taxi boys round here are hooked on the current flusher and oil treatment we are now selling them, and at £11.95 EACH and with the deep pockets and short arms all of them have, its funny how they demand it while claiming to know better.
    Save your money, service your car regularly, drive with light feet and be astonished at the savings.

    Nicely dragged up old thread again.... Well whilst its here i may as well add.....

    No it doesnt work.. As above its snake oil.


    Redex, Millers Sport 4, BG244... Not one of these have removed ANY carbon off my engine part. Even when
    soaked in it for 2 hours+.

    A can of brake cleaner in a spray can from screwfix removed some though.

    So if it cant removed it when soaked in the stuff, How will it suddenly work when its added to the fuel and
    makes a fleeting pass at the hardened carbon coating.

    Save your money. Spent nearly £40 now trying these to save you all money.

    Except i have proved it doesnt. I think i will stick to my own findings.

    None of them removed any carbon from the manifold or turbo vanes and housing even when soaked in it.
