I have worked with Jaguar, Landrover, Volkswagen, Jeep, lotus , seat and Chrysler . I have also tested Redex, liqui molly, Diesel blast and mannol.
Why are these not recommended ?

Manufactureres do recommend fuel additives, but only if they sell them. Like BMW for example.

Been using Redex injection cleaner for over 40 years and my Grandfather before me had been using since the 60s he was a racing Engineer, used in everyone of my cars all Hondas ever since, I use it in my 2020 CRV with a GDI turbo engine the car runs cleaner and smoother and does improve my MPG it does not improve power output or anything like that and nor do I expect it to, I pour an entire bottle in after every oil change around 4,000 miles, Fuel cleaner additives are a must in my opinion more so on modern cars with GDI non port injected vehicles that rely on modern Bio Ethanol based fuels that create more Carbon and corrosion than any fuel before them, I don't care what the manufacturers say its my car and I put in it what I want, I too am an Engineer, I would not put anything in my cars system I did not trust or tested or would cause harm to my engine.

Some might say snake oil, but I use mannol additives for like 3 years now. I use burning booster (for gasoline) and no matter if I use e10 here in Hungary or E0 in Ukraine, my Suzuki (previously a 2001s swift, now a 2007s SX4) goes great with it, and the fuel consumption is a bit better too. I use it mainly to preserve the fuel system. The ceramo ester for the oil also worths a shot as being cheaper than the big brands. Thanks for your review. When I fuel up in Ukraine, I can feel that ethanol free gas gives better milage. Even a half of a tank can be felt.

I recently looked at 1.5dci Dacia duster 2018 . I actually found in the service history a fuel treatment additive had been done by Renault. Followed by a test drive.

I did never understand when you were talking about diesel engines and when you were talking about petrol engines. It said diesel on all the cans, so you were probably talking about diesel engines, which don't interest me at all. What a waste of time.

I've used the standard cebo on my 2.0 litre skoda superb diesel largely because since covid the dpf light would come on all the time. This has now pretty much taken that problem away. I've just bought some of the maximus as the car is going on a long trip to Scotland soon. I've tried redex, still amongst others and they did nothing. I swear by hydra additives now.

I buy a bottle of Redex petrol treatment whenever it’s on Clubcard discount at Tesco.

The other thing I thought about was if these additives with added detergents are added to the fuel tank and they do breakdown soot/deposits etc, i can only imagine they would cause trouble downstream i.e turbo / sensors.

I tried hydra pic-24 addictive and it made no difference tbh. Just increased the placebo effect in my head

what do you think the impact of adding an ethylhexyl nitrate to a modern common rail diesel engine. Read to several research paper it seems positive, but still got some hesitation on it.
