Do oil additives work?

thanks for the replies. I've actually got hold of a "stirrer" so I can try and see if I can "poke" the floating ball out of the way of the fill-up hole and reach far enough down the tank.

I might make this into a separate thread, but to quote some star trek "new problem". I emailed the Hydra company that make the Vulcan additive (the star trek reference honestly was not intended to match that. maybe I was just thinking of it), and they said to check with my boiler manufacturer for compatibility

I've emailed the boiler manufacturer (warmflow) and they said "we have not tested this product with our boilers"

Now I.......assume [!!!!] that it will work with it. because....I assume....it's designed for it. can anyone confirm?

Basically you have your modern liability concerns.  Neither wants to say its ok because they know they will get sued and blamed for a fault.   They know it isn't an issue but they cannot be seen to endorse it.

indeed. so. the next stage is....ask anyone if they've used it before with their warmflow boiler? a plumber might know I suppose. warmflow also mentioned they don't have details of "what settings would need to be changed"
