Redox

Has anybody tried using Redox in a petrol Bongo? Did it help, did it improve MPG?
I have just put some in a full tank and will monitor performance on Fuelly.

I used to use it regularly in my petrol cars and I think it did actually help, I still use the diesel equivalent in the bongo

I use an equivalent all the time .. it's automatically sucked into the injector rail all the time the engine is running .. it's called Flash lube ..

I used to put it in hot water in the bath as it relaxes and soothes tired and aching muscles.

For the bongo,maybe it soothes tired suspension legs and helps the bongo run smoother,but the bubbles in the petrol may cause hiccups,but it will smell nice! :shock: :lol:

Redex is still used by some..... many of my customers do in their classic cars..... as well as octane booster in some cases......
I use it in my mower and petrol stoves.... :shock: yeah...I know.... 5ml (teaspoon full) in a gallon of Petrol.... keeps them clean...especially the stoves as the generators get gummed up on straight unleaded...
