My understanding is this is a fuel system cleaner for petrol vehicles.  I've not used it yet but have 3 'doses' on order at my local TPS.  Apparently its on back order - probably due to the letter/article in the current Volkswagen Driver magazine where a reader with an Edition 30 found it helped with a smoother idle and power delivery through the rev range.

does this actually work and is it worth the money? I hate being specticle but sometimes it can be a placebo affect.

It's not going to be much (if any) different to Redex and the like..

You can use 10oz to 12oz per tank of white spirits...that is like using three cans of BG44K(30% spirits per can) but less coin for a gallon of it  :happy2:
