New BP fuels additive announced

[K.P.]

You were a cheapskate indeed! :P In warmer weather it's only about 40 seconds (2-3 mins. cold) and driven daily would have kept your petrol system going (nowhere near peak) but all the Ford I6 engines except the dedicated LPG EcoGas and EcoLpi seem to enjoy their petrol drives immensely. That's what they were designed for.

I didn't worry too much putting through the Liqui-Moly Total Fuel System and using first the Mobil Special 91 and Supreme 98+ and it being thirsty, but it shook me the first week when somehow the battery terminal connection that powers the fuel-mapped ECU for the SVI system (think after a service before sale) came off unbeknownst to me. That was annoying part but it wowed me in it's performance on I think Shell V-Power but it did shock me how much it drank during the 4 days before the problem was found!

Oh, in answer to sulphation Liqui-Moly Total Fuel System Cleaner not only cleans the injectors, tank and wherever petrol comes in contact with ie decarbonates the engine and removes deposits in both the tank and engine too. Not only does it desulphate the fuel system and fuel but usually reduces fuel consumption through the life of the fluid. It's enviro-friendly - I checked with Motor-Active the Australian distributor as to desulphation breakdown products in the emissions. It leaves a thin film that lasts for up to 10,000k whilst desulphating and protecting plus increased performance still.

Not bad for $30.
