edwardio Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Lets say a can costs £20. As its meant to last 10k miles, lets say that is 12 months driving. It's only £1.67 a month, so not a waste of money. It might give some gains, it might not (depending on how effecient your engine is). But at the end of the day, having a engine engine is never a bad thing in my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyper-wrap Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Need I say more than below, prior to this it was 360/361, give it a go. Haha come off it you! We all know you drove like Captain slows grandad to get that though! I'm not saying anything negative about it or jumping the gun early by claiming all the benefits are bullshit. I just find it hard to believe that a tin of something makes this much difference. And am more than open to try it and prove myself wrong Hardly likely to be weather-related, this is my third year of Gen 6 GT ownership, and my car is my only transport for business. As I am a freelance IT tech serving SME's in the Oxon/Berks/Bucks area my mileage is always high, but that's reflected in my hourly rate. Not disputing anything, don't worry Just think it's kinda coincidental that increased mpg happens when the weather starts warming up. It's just scientific fact that warmer weather burns less fuel. I'm gonna give it a go for definite when I'm paid tomorrow, so will report back. My engine..even on 125k...is stunningly smooth and powerful for it's age and mileage already...so we shall see!

Actually with my current car being a Vert I would expect mpg to go down, as I have the top down whenever I can, which rather f*cks up the aerodynamics.

colin blue Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Result from BG 44K Pre-treatment approx 29.9mpg Post-treatment approx 32.9mpg And that's with being a wee bit heavier with the right foot. We'll see how long that lasts though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwardio Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 I bought a few cans of this stuff & I must say I'm not falling for everything it claims. I'm sure on its website that it restores the engine to near factory new cleaness as well as cleaning the plugs. Well 1 can went into my old Fiesta (before it failed the MOT) & another in my replacement Fiesta before its service. Now I took both sets of plugs out after the cars were on their pretty much close to their 3 tank fill-ups after putting the BG44K in. Now both sets of plugs were in no way clean, let alone being "almost new looking". I've not noticed any fuel ecconomy improvement either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe588 Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 I can't say I've noticed any MPG improvement but I know it's done something as the tops of my pistons were clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Hmm. As you all know, I am loathe to part with money - especially 20 quid all in one go. But I would do if I thought this stuff would perk up the car a bit. Shall I go for it? Angus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe588 Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Yup no reason not to. Have a peep down a plug hole before you run it through, piece of mind it's done something and possibly enhance placebo power My car does feel smoother and quicker though!

Angus Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Right, can in the tank now along with £40 of V-Power. This stuff better be good, at a rate of 40 times the cost of an equivalent amount of Irn Bru! Angus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam 190 Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Do you use the whole bottle of BG 44K in one go?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen6GT Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Yes. Get your tank on fuel-light, empty the can into your tank, then fill up with petrol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazz54 Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Whenever I hear about some fantastic additive the first thing I do is try to find the Materials Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for it because that tells you something about what it is made of. The MSDS for 44k is available online and based on the info it contains I find it really hard to believe that it is anything special or is going to be a particularly good cleaner. Adding a can to your tank may make the engine feel good while it is still around, but lasting benefits...? Work out what it costs per gallon. Not for me thanks.

planc Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Toyota do a simular product for a simular price. when taxi drivers have come in with problems we give them a free bottle and say if it works come back and buy some, they return and buy a box of six. Must work if a taxi driver shells out over 60 quid. But bazz I agree you have to weigh up the odds. But you don't use a bottle every tankfull.

I think some are probably better than others; there is a range of products made by a US outfit called Jostice Brothers which stand out as having some more unusual and "impressive" ingredients but I think they are intended for professional use and are not well known in the UK. Of course, one function of some of these additives is getting cars through the MoT when they might otherwise have failed on emissions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
