Disco 2 Revive Engine Cleaner

Just came across this Revive Engine Cleaner from the UK:



Has anyone used this with any success? Are there any similar alternatives?

I have two diesel turbocharged vehicles, including the 2003 Disco 2 Td5 which is getting on in years now - running well (EGR delete several years ago), but thought it might be good to use as a preventative maintenance measure (good for engine inlet manifold, turbo and intercooler)?

Any thoughts?

Pretty much all of them are snake oil.
Loads of info if you google, also vids on youtube.
Same crap as the people who swear by the expensive petrol/disesel.

Oil/filter every 5k/fuel filters annually, and keep on trucking.

Looks similar to the Great Squirting of Water into the Air Intake method ... another version of removing money from owners wallets ...

Just wait for the E5/E10 debate, E5 will become very expensive next year

Why? E5 has now replaced BS EN228 standard, although the actual fuel is the same.
The price of oil is falling globally, so I wouldn't expect the price of E5 to increase by much next year, as it's currently still dropping.

Because E5 will only be available in super unleaded form, 'normal' unleaded will be E10. If you can't use E10 then you'll be required to buy super, which is more expensive

I didn't know that. Oh well E10 it is then.

Not if you drive a series or, like me, have an old Kawasaki with carbs

Unfortunately not, as Ethanol plays havoc with with rubber and some synthetic rubber fuel system components. Luckily for me, most modern vehicles can use E10 without an issue. Although unlucky for me, petrol garden tools will also suffer, with brittle fuel lines and primer bulbs.

Also means fuel will go off quicker and attract more water.
Some of the metals used in carbs can be affected too, not just seals.
The p38 seems to be ok

I forgot about it being hygroscopic too. That makes it important to drain out of garden equipment, at the end of the season.
