Lucas Oil40003 Fuel Treatment - 1 Litre, Tan

Bought this as my 4x4 sprang a fuel tank leak just before a 2 week camping holiday. Meant we had to use the other car, our battered trusty old Subaru Forester, 2.0 petrol. My Rexton pulls upto 3.5 Tonne legally and it is an excelent tower. The Subaru is a good car but has no pull at the lower revs so towing is a trudge through the gears, especially in the hills an we were off to Dorset and North Devon, 5-6 hour drive away from home. North Devon is all hills and steep valleys, lovely but a stern test for our old Forester.This really did give a big bost to the car. The difference with and withought the trailer was great, much less gear changing as there was so much more pull even up those steep Devon valleys and great for overtaking the slow towers (I don't overtake when I have my trailer on).The only negative is the ridiculous bottle it comes in. There's no way to seal it back up as the strange blue cap just slips off. I used the pull off tab as a stopper. I kept it inside the lid and screwed it down tightly and just removed the tab when I was filling the car up again. Even so it was impossible to keep it in the bottle as we drove.It doesn't smell as evil as the other boosters/cleaners I've used but if you don't wear gloves then Swafeega just about gets it off.Had about a fifth of the bottle left when we got home so I put it in the quarter of a tank of diesel in the Rexton, these have a 2.7L Merc engine. It's powerful already but with this stuff it's really good fun. :) It's an auto but with this stuff in the bugger was spinning its' wheels as I pulled off at junctions.Makes a huge difference to the pull of the petrol and the diesels I have. No idea if it cleaning as it goes but it's good fun. :)

AMAZING PRODUCT REALLY MAKES A DIFFERENCE

It works.My diesel van was spluttering occasionally and I had no idea what was causing the problem.Tried Wynns injector cleaner -didn't work .So I bought Lucas and after filling up and adding the Lucas fuel treatment but nothing changed.I decided to add more than the advised amount and filled up -still no change .After the third fill up and by this time I had used over half the bottle of Lucas I noticed no more spluttering.Its been running fine for over a week ,so it seems to have worked.It comes in a big bottle so you can afford to add a big measure..Having watched Chris Fixs videos on You Tube I was sceptical and thought these injector cleaners were useless but it seems that this one works

I use this at the recommended dosage (between 1 and 2 divisions on the bottle measuring scale) in both a 5.0 Mustang and a 2.0 Capri.At the Mustang's first MOT, the emissions were a little dirtier than I'd have hoped for a 3 year old car, but they were still pretty good considering the size of the engine. At the Capri's 31st MOT, the emissions were really good - better than most "old" cars that are a lot younger. It was still a slightly worse reading than in previous years, but it has now done over 100,000 miles and the engine has never been rebuilt. It's therefore hard to tell if this stuff has much effect on emissions. I suspect it has more of a preventative effect than a restorative effect. It probably keeps it clean rather than being a harsh cleaner itself.I've also not noticed much of a difference regarding average fuel economy in either car. I'm still getting about 25 (imperial) MPG from the Mustang and 30 from the Capri and always have done. Regarding power output, it's really hard to say. The increase in power output would have to be quite significant, perhaps 10% or more, before you'd be able to feel any difference - but I have noticed that in the Mustang, which is mapped for 99-RON fuel, adding this to regular supermarket 95-RON fuel results in no power-loss, whereas it would normally feel very retarded below 3000 RPM, and start flattening-out around 6000. Using either 99-RON, or 95 with this additive, the car happily pulls hard right to the rev-limiter at 6500 or 7000, depending on where I set it.Regarding the Capri, I noticed for the past 2-3 years that putting regular 95-RON fuel in it was causing it to knock and pink really badly, even though my lead-replacement additive contains an octane booster. I had to switch to super-unleaded. When I use 95-RON fuel with this additive in it, the car no longer pinks, as long as I've put the correct dose of lead-replacement additive in it too. Unlike the "butt dyno" type of evidence, this clearly shows that this additive has some sort of an effect on how the fuel burns in the cylinder.So in summary, the effect this additive has is subtle and is probably only realised over the long term. I will continue to use it in the hope that it also has anti-wear properties that will protect my fuel pumps and the Mustang's injectors. The bottle lasts a long time, so it works out fairly economical. Plus, Lucas oil state that an overdose won't harm your engine - so it must be safe for emissions equipment etc. on newer cars.

Only thing that works on my car after using bad fuel

great engine cleaner and lubricant...I use the 1L recipient and it is working but I had to use it for at least 5 consecutive tank fillings to feel a difference...and be sure you have the car serviced timel with quality oil and filters. ...the other products I used are too corrosive which affect the lubrications si in combination with this one you can avoid the replacement of the injectors

Too expensive

I always pop some of this in to my tank on fill up and it’s less harmful than other standard cleaners. Once in a while, I’ll use a harsher cleaner, but this is that in between more often to keep things running smooth. If you have a lot of smoke, use a heavier cleaner first then move on to this.
