You shouldn't put it in every time you fill up - just a couple of doses every 6 months / 5000 miles should keep everything running smoothly

Technically it's an engine fuel system "cleaner" - therefore if it's used all the time it could cause some problems - so you should only use it once every so often

|Well I'd chuck a couple of doses in every 5000 miles or 6 months - whichever comes first ... It doesn't matter what mileage you've done to be honest, as if you keep doing short trips, you'll probably need to do it more often

wow Thanasie calm down mate thats "corrosive" your putting in  as Soul said every 6 months used as directed will keep the engine in good condition if you put too much in it will start eating your rubber seals ( well thats what the mechanic told me anyways ) so be carefull, and at least im not the only one that experianced "power" increase 

I think i know what you mean mate , if your cars fuel system is dirty and you get used to its performance and when cleaned you will feel an increase in performance but infact the car is running normally now lol wow that was confusing  btw how can you clean muk without corrosive agents? well its not 100% corrosives but i think it has a high percentage

Redex is a "fuel system cleaner" - and as it's not physically "scrubbing" the fuel system clean, it therefore is a bit corrosive (mainly to deposits in the fuel system, but regular excessive use will damage things, just as Alien Mind said).

If you want something to make "a bigger bang" to put in your fuel, you should be looking for "Octane Booster Fuel Addatives" - but that's a discussion subject for a post in the Engines section, as this is meant to be a reviews section only

Please keep further posts to reviews only, I will move the posts in this section discussing Redex to a post in the Engine's section in a few days

Not all chemicals that clean have to be corrosive. Sometimes they have a phobic and philic end to the molecule. The phobic end sticks onto what needs to be removed, and the philic end sticks to the liquid around it. The force of the liquid moving is stronger than the forces holding on the 'dirt'. Therefore it basically just rips it off.
You can also tell if it's corrosive by putting some on your skin. If it burns it's corrosive and probably an acid. If it stings and dries out your skin (you'll also feel like there's soap where you put some Redex) it's an alkaline. However I wouldn't recommend it since you don't know how strong it is. Either way, don't run your finger under a tap. Dunk it in a bucket. Strong acids get much worse if you add small amounts of water. But large amounts of water dilute and neutralise it pretty quickly.
"Do what you oughta, add acid to water"... Don't add water to acid
Weak solutions will take 20-30secs before you feel anything. Mid-range solutions will take a few seconds. Strong stuff you'll notice your skin melting

I'm planning to use some Redex today, but not sure how to get it into the fuel tank. Also, should I be putting it in just before filling up or just after?
Also, which one are you all talking about?

I've also found in my local shops the very small bottles for cheap, one for fuel system cleaner and one specifically for injector systems. Which am I supposed to be using?

wow Bailey nice write up on the molecular structure mate but i prefer leaving it a mystery then putting my hands on it lol  any ways the one ive used is this one Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to or but i have a carbed engine so for the best result i would ask the store keeper what would be the best for your car  and you add it after you filled your filled your tank as it states on the bottle just add it to a full tank 

P.s. sorry ive been missing really busy at the mom waaaaaaaaaaaa
