  It didn't say that on the bottle when I put the stuff in there - and it doesn't say that on their website either. Is it the case that fuel additives to clean injection systems can actually DAMAGE the engine? Thanks Simon
• Modern fuel systems 2 Dec 2002 (Forum)
  does anyone know for sure what the approach is on modern vehicles in relation to venting of the fuel tank - in the old days it used to be a pin hole in the fuel cap, but do they still do this ? I thought they vented via a charcoal cannister or something ? Why does the cap make a hiss when undoing it - is it a vacume or pressure ?

• Feedback for Adam re Fuel Mixture 17 Feb 2002 (Forum)
  Thanks Adam for replying to my query on 07 Feb regarding a Toyota Carina with a fuel mixture that was getting weaker on its own. I took it to Beadles in the end, they deserved another crack at the job as they had diagnosed the weak fuel mixture to start with and they had well exceeded the quoted half hour for a diagnostic but only charged me the quoted price when I took it there in December.

• Any - Premium fuels - do they improve mpg? 2 Feb 2016 (Forum)
  The price difference between standard unleaded and premium (e.g Shell V power) locally is about 6%, so only worth the extra if mpg is increased by more than this amount.   Obviously some cars designed for higher octane fuel will go better, my question is not about acceleration/speed but mpg in normal driving. Has anyone measured the difference (if any) in ordinary cars?
