what previous posters said, and y es i posted regarding oversea pricing as well lol

thats more than RM50, we got it easy then

Read about it and decide to jump on the bandwagon myself and got 2 bottles @ KJ caltex.
plenty stock available still
Since i just did my EO change, gonna test the TCP at my next fill up.

haha... i pump caltex every time, so no need to use the additive

"To use, pour the entire bottle of TCP into a nearly empty fuel tank and refuel with up to 45 litres of petrol. Repeat every 5,000 km for best results. The company says that regular users of Caltex with Techron fuel don’t need the TCP “detox” as it’s the case of “an apple a day…” for them."

Yea, our currency too weak against theirs.

But maybe still a good ritual to do it once in a while, I believe the TCP's cleaning agents are still more concentrated than the ones in their petrol.

i wonder if Caltex 'low quality fuel' means euro2 only specs, which means caltex also uses that same fuel except with techron added.

afaik only BHP has euro 3 quality fuel

Exactly, 10x more concentrate in one shot.

Update - It seems my friends commented that TCP works best not only with Caltex fuel, but Primax also.

whacked a TCP into my last refuel (with ESSO). City , 1yr old, 20k

can't really feel any difference, but is a good placebo effect knowing that some cleaning is done inside

Awan besar just replenished their stock at noon today. Can get from there if you are interested.

I just refueled with bhp my regular fuel, and seems the power didn't decrease but maintained, was a short drive home only

That's why I'm also confused... BHP of euro3, or Caltex with euro2 but with Techron added...?

See if the fuel consumption improves. No change means the fuel system is clean enough, I think.

I'm not sure, but I mainly pump caltex and use cleaner to reduce the carbon deposit, which is formed due to running at rich fuel mixture (high load condition) overtime time. Maybe bhp will create less carbon, but without any cleaning addictive gua.

Actually if you read about BHP's Infiniti Advanced 2X petrol, it is roughly similar to what Techron does. I guess it's just that Techron's marketing power is much better and have been long proven.

Anyone tried this one instead? Redline Complete SI-1 Fuel System Cleaner. Found this on the Net and it is highly recommended, even higher quality rating than the Techron Concentrate Plus. Wonder if it is sold here in MY.

i believe kaki motor carries it, iinm seen it before at kaki motor mid valley lol

well just got in to work and have to say there is definitely noticeable improvement on the pick up from standstill, my old carbie faithful probably has a different idle circuit and that probably got cleaned up nicely from idling almost all the to and fro work for the last week.

cruising seems to have no change i guess those jets get plenty of fuel when cruising to keep them sufficiently clean

NOOB question here. Does Euro 4 > Euro 3 > Euro 2 in terms that they are better for the engine, or is it just better for the environment (emission standards), or BOTH? If Euro 2 is still pure and clean (good for engine) but just that it cannot meet more stringent emission standards, then it's really no big deal to the main concern of this thread (I know, environmentalist would disagree but let's just leave that to another topic)!

yes, euro rating covers many things but mainly focuses on emissions, the higher the euro grade the less emissions it produces.

while emissions are good for enviroment, what does it mean for your engine?

take one category that euro grading focuses on : sulphur content.

sulphur in the fuel when combusted produces sulphur dioxide. Sulphur dioxide when mixed with water produces sulphuric acid. This acid is what we call 'acid rain' in environmental terms. Now this sulphur dioxide also mixes with the water in your engine, water that comes from the air and as by product of combustion. Because no engine is 100% sealed in the combustion chamber this acid eventually gets into your engine oil and starts degrading it. Since you cant see or feel its effects you normally dont care about it, but it's there and it's eating away at stuff inside your engine

so. Euro 3-4 fuels are good for any engine, not just for the enviroment

Thanks for the insight...
