Cost Effective Maintenance (CEM) FTC Decarboniser ?

[landrovermick]

Anyone used this ?

I have just run the Oil Flush and have found that my oil is now way cleaner than it ever was - that is its now clearer on the dip stick rather than Pitch Black directly after the oil change -

Im also using Clean Power fuel treatment and have found less black smoke on startup - less grey smoke when under load whem cold - greater pickup / acceleration.

I was thinking about changing my injectors - but i think i might hang off for a little while - 20,000k and do them at 300,000k

looking for feedback on the FTC decarboniser anyone ?

CEM created some interest here a little while ago so it would be interesting to get an update on that as well:

I've just run the CEM Oil Flush through my D2 TD5 on the weekend with a change of both filters. I know what you mean Mick about the much cleaner oil following the change. I've got 160000 kms on it and it took a couple of hundred kms beforefore I was totally sure of where the oil level was on the dip stick. Scary clean. https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

I've just added some of the Clean Power but only drove 5kms home so no opinion on that yet.

For the small amounts used it seems to be very cost effective. I only added 70mls of oil flush and 20mls of fuel treatment.

Before I ordered the stuff I spoke with the developer. He has owned several Landys and currently has a TD5 Defender.

Seeing the oil result I'm keen to try some of there other products. Maybe in a week or so once the fuel additive has had a chance to prove itself.

I'll let you know.

Where does all the dirty stuff go?

first time you use it you usually end up with more oil coming out the drain than you put in as it gathers the sludge and crap, if i remember correctly i think mine made 3/4 litre or thereabouts...

i think it is great stuff myself...

I have a '76 s111 2.25 diesl Landy trayback which had a lot of internal sludge. (discovered when I checked the tappets)
Using a bit of lateral thinking, I drained the oil (was due) bought a can of that aerosol degreaser ($2 at the cheap shop), mixed it with about 3 litres of cheap oil, into the engine and let it run at a fairly high idle for about 3/4hr.
When I drained it, a lot more came out than went in, and was it thick!
Replaced the filter, refilled with correct oil and back into work. Took the tappet cover off a couple of weeks later and the top of the head was perfectly clean. The oil is now staying clean for at least 750km., previously black straight away.
Not suggesting anyone try this method, but the proprietory stuff itself must be a mineral solvent.
