Afternoon all,as above,the stuff you put in the tank,whats your view? good/bad?
Ta.

I am wondering also as my boat engine is playing silly beggars. (might be a waxstat keeping revs high though as this operates a fast idle when cold and this is the area I need to look at). I tend to use gunk that stops growths in the fuel tank usually and was wondering about mixing the 2.
Snake oil or not?
Redex used to be the favourite years ago for a good smoke screen and burnout!

For diesels I have recently read that putting some two stroke oil in with the diesel improves performance and helps lubricate the fuel pump etc.

The cleaner is supposed to help clean pump/nozzles etc whereas 2 stroke is more about lubricity.

The more expensive diesel contains all the additives you need to keep the system clean. So Every now and again just do a fill with the good stuff.

Hard to get a boat to a fuel station!

Thats whats wrong with the world today, negative thinking!

Agree with lloydy, only use the best fuels. I work in a small garage and we see so many cars with running problems, blocked DPFs etc and when I ask what fuel the customer uses......always the same answer , cheap supermarket fuel.
Some of the cleaners and fuel additives made by the likes of Forte are very good. We use them many times if a car has a problem or won't go thru the emissions.

Not very easy lugging 120 litres of fuel from a filling station in drums either!
