Excellent, just needs a funnel!
I personally found that Redex didn't make any difference and someone recommended me to try this. I never heard of it before and it looks like an energy drink or household cleaner on the outside but WOW did it deliver. Maybe it is the equivalent of an energy drink for a car!Note that the BG244 is for DIESEL and the BG44 is for PETROL.Before the cleaner, I was noticing some minor issues with my car. The idle was fairly uneven, cold starts were lumpy and often required to try to start the car twice to get it to run smooth; and it was a little flat power wise below 2000 rpm.The trick here is, to get a funnel and place it into the fuel tank. This makes it easy to pour in and none of it is wasted! You only need half of this can at a time, and I'd recommend putting it in BEFORE you put in 60 litres (or completely fill) your tank of diesel. This way, it seems to mix better. ONE can should be enough annually even if you do a lot of miles or very few miles pottering around the town/city centre.Well, a 30 mile drive with this in, seemed to force the car to do a DPF regeneration which it hadn't done prior. It only takes a few minutes to do and can be performed successfully on main roads where you can cruise along at a decent speed, I recommend trying to keep the revs to around 2000 and above whilst this is happening.Afterwards though I stopped the car and turned off the engine there was an almighty burning smell which smelt like a mix of diesel and this stuff. Don't be surprised if your car also does the same, I think it just goes to show it was ALREADY working it's magic!I can happily report that the cold starts and flat spot has improved greatly, along with switching to standard BP diesel (going from supermarket low sulphur diesel) and I think that only replacing the EGR valve and/or Mass Air Flow meter could resolve it totally perhaps, along with a re-map!I have a response to some people giving this lower than a 3 star rating: If your car is running EXTREMELY poorly and you are getting poor consumption and next to no throttle response the chances are, this and no other cleaner on the market could solve the issue. It's likely that you have something wrong with your car mechanically; like the aforementioned EGR and MAF sensor for example; which are an annoyance on pretty much every modern diesel engine!If however the car is running OK-ish but could do of a bit of a "tune-up" then this MAY work, and it will certainly be better than anything "Halfrauds" will sell you!

Saved me £1600. Fantastic product.
Bought this Diesel Fuel System Cleaner after reading so many positive and successful reviews.I filled my tank and added the fuel cleaner. In approx. 15 miles I could feel that the car had perked up and the more I drove it the better it felt. I assumed this was the cleaner giving the extra "umph and responsiveness".Previously my car was lacking in response, lots of smoke when I pushed the car and quite grunty.Since using the cleaner I have now had maybe 6-8 full tanks of fuel in the car.The underlying problems have all gone. My car a Merc C270 CDi (approx. 90k miles).Car drive like a dream, responds so well and much much less rear smoke.Best of all the car is much quieter and the grunty sound has gone.Fuel efficiency was already good but have noticed it is better.Before spending £100's on garage bill - try this cleaner.I was looking at a bill of £1600 to change the fuel injectors as no garage could pin point the fault in my car.highly recommend this product

Good but needs a funnel
The engine was quieter after a few days of use. I suppose it could just be my imagination but I've also noticed the car is also slightly smoother! The product loses a star as it comes in a can with no spout, so pouring it into the fuel tank was harder than it should've been. I used a small funnel but even then I managed to spill some onto my hands and a little down the side of the car. Despite wiping it all away as quickly as I could, my hands were really 'smelly' for several hours afterwards (despite 3 or 4 washes with soap), so I don't want to think what it's done to the car! Another product I use comes in a bottle with a long neck which I just tip into the car - no mess and no fuss. If the packaging ever changes to something like that, I'd be happy to revise my review.

Brilliant stuff, amazing worth every penny.
I put this in the car a few weeks ago with a full tank of fuel and I must admit since then the car runs a lot better. I've spent so much on my car ( glow plugs, injectors checked and adjusted, air, oil and fuel filters all changed, top quality oil used on change etc etc ) but still had issues with rough idling, occasional smoke from unburnt fuel and the garage were running out of ideas but after using this I must admit the car is a lot quieter, sounds smoother and the rough idling, smoking issues have all but gone even when engine is cold. After such an improvement from 1 can I am tempted to put another in as when the glow plugs were changed they found a lot of carbon build up as 2 plugs haven't been working for along time and I'm guessing that's where a lot of the issues came from but will probably wait a few months as I'm not sure how often you can put this stuff in but will definitely be using it again. My car is a 1.6 hdi grand picasso

When I read the reviews, I thought this would be a really great product.I had running problems so thought id give this a punt and day one of adding this stuff,my Navara seemed to run better and I was really pleased, but by day two the running rough continued which indicated a more in depth problem, so unsure if this will really do anything,but will update once its fixed and running again.
