Redex Diesel System Cleaner is safe to use on all makes and models of diesel cars. It's guaranteed not to damage your car's internal components, and even if you add too much, there will be no harmful or long-lasting effects.
What happens if I use more than the recommended dose? Adding too much Redex won't cause any damage to your car or interrupt the combustion cycle. Plus, it's hard to use more than the recommended dose because of how the bottle is designed, with clear marks indicating a single dose.
No, Redex products are perfectly safe and will not cause any damage or impairment to your car. Redex products are specially formulated to provide a reliable engine-cleaning solution that will remove harmful deposits from your fuel system without causing damage.
How often should I use Redex DPF Cleaner? We recommend that you use Redex DPF Cleaner in every second or third tank of fuel, particularly if you drive short journeys or do a lot of stop/start driving in a city.
Some Contain Harmful Chemicals
Some diesel fuel additives have alcohol that can damage essential engine parts.
Just 0.4 percent coolant containing glycol in diesel engine oil is enough to coagulate soot and cause a dump-out condition leading to sludge, deposits, oil flow restrictions and filter blockage. According to one study, glycol contamination results in wear rates 10 times greater than water contamination alone.
Diesel fuel quality
Diesel engine makers need to account for swings in quality when designing and certifying their engines. Generally, they do not endorse or recommend the use of fuel additives.
One shot of Redex fuel cleaner is capable of treating a fifty-litre fuel tank, but those who have never used a fuel additive before – or those who own an older car – may wish to use two shots for an intensive clean, particularly during first application.
We reckon Redex works out at about 5p extra on every litre of fuel used, but that's less than the fuel saving we've experienced. But as 5p a litre is about half the extra of 'Premium' fuel, it's pretty cost-effective as a way of getting your fuel system to work more effectively.
It's only recommended to use a single dose of Redex, if you're fuel tank is bigger than 50 litres still stick to one dose.
During combustion, deposits build up on your fuel injectors and lead to an inefficient use of petrol. Redex stops this build up and cleans the injectors to save you petrol, and as the UK's number one fuel additive we've been trusted by drivers for decades.
Reed valve allows the mixture to move in only one direction – from the carburetor to the crankcase. It prevents the mixture from moving back to the carburetor. In the effect reed valve improves reloading of the combustion chamber with fresh air-fuel mixture. This improves power output of modern two stroke engines.
Using Redex DPF Cleaner regularly will help your car to burn away the build up in the filter, preventing blockages. You can also use Redex DPF Cleaner when your warning light comes on to cure DPF problems – use it as soon as possible after the light comes on and it will clear the blockage.
Can Red Diesel Damage Your Engine? No, it can't. It's the same as on-road diesel except for the dye.

Although most fuel injector cleaners begin working immediately, it takes time before the improvements become noticeable. Before the cleaners start working effectively, the vehicle should travel several hundred miles and burn a good portion of a full fuel tank.
Royal Purple recommends adding a bottle of the Max Atomizer Fuel Injector Cleaner to your gas tank every time you fill it up, but suggests using a bottle every 3,000 miles at the bare minimum.

These fuel additives are available for petrol and diesel engines and promise a wide range of benefits, from keeping carburettors, injectors and intake valves clean, to removing water from the fuel system.
Water causes damage to both fuel tanks and engine parts. Rust and corrosion in the tank create hard particulate that is passed along in the fuel, causing engine wear.
