BG 44K Fuel system cleaner

Ive heard that overuse of Redex may cause more problems than which it overcomes, to injectors and such like
Wonder if the same applies to BG 44K

Where did you hear this Chris ?

I've not read anything negative about this or the diesel version, I put a can in mine last night, will see if I can feel any difference, if it works as it claims then I will probably put a couple of cans in a year, if not then I save myself 2x £22

Think i read it on Cleaned UK- but discussion was referring to petrol vehicles
If that matters

Ed- having never used Redex, dont know what it says on back of container (Frequency use)

[lfcrule1972]

Nah I just wondered, I used redex in the past on previous vehicles and didn't have any issues, they were diesels though.

Cleaners must have some sort of detergents, and even abrasives, which may cause issues over time.
Wonder if too much use of BG would cause and issue

[sh0wtime]

easy way to answer that is to phone them up & speak to one of the technical guys.
i called them up before i decided to sell their products & was very impressed with the level of information i got from them.
these guys are Petro-chemists, lab geeks & the products are developed scientifically from a molecular level!
call them up for a chat (put aside around 45 minutes tho!)

Do you sell both the diesel and petrol cleaner sh0wtime ? Perhaps you should approach WTF or Den about becoming a trader and you could consider selling them through the forum ?

[Chris_Blue]

Yes- would be good if you can beat the £13 i paid for a tin

[lfcrule1972]

Cheapest Diesel tin I could find was £22 !

[Chris_Blue]

I believe diesel DS3s cost more too, and so does the fuel. Ah well- thats life LFC aint it

which one was that? the CF-5 should be about that. the 44K & 244 Diesel additives are usually just under £20 plus vat...

[Chris_Blue]

44K off ebay- th stuff doesnt have an expiry date, just batch numbers
I asked

Yeah they also have better mpg, free road tax too !!!

[Chris_Blue]

So will have to pay double for your fuel additives then- all balances out in the end

[lfcrule1972]

Not really at only two cans a year - nice try though, I'll stick with the 550-600 miles per 48 litres
