do you have any examples of where you know 100% for sure this product has improved a running issue on an engine?
We've tried it for sticking turbos, EGR's, high emissions, DPF issues etc & never once has it cured an issue.
i.e, I know 100% for sure that these products didn't work in these cases.
So does the customer who shelled out his hard earned on a bottle of uselessness that failed to produce a result.
Our reputation comes into question at this point from the customers viewpoint, particularly if he reads Which magazine or Auto Express.
When I read in the Forte "bulletins" that their "advanced formula gas treatment" cures misfires on 3 cylinder 1.2 Polos, I become highly suspicious.
Which is why I am interested in seeing something factual on paper that this multi million pound business is not just smoke & mirrors & a large placebo effect propped up by "trustworthy" salesteams, (is there such a thing as a trustworthy salesman??).
I'm not taking a pop at anyone, I just want to see some evidence - we have stocked & used Forte, Wurth & Wynn's & never once have any of these add to the tank products provided a long lasting or worthwhile reult.
After 5 years of adding this stuff to fuel tanks & parting customers from their cash to no good effect, I think it may be time for someone to publish a test report on this stuff proving it's usefulness.
Bearing in mind this product is added to a tank of fuel & it runs through systems in a highly diluted form in varying quantities of dilution dependant on fuel level in the tank.
Who here does believe a half pint bottle of DPF cleaner diluted into 60L or 20L of fuel in the tank (does the fuel tank need to be empty, half full, full?)put through a combustion process then landing in the DPF at 600 to 800C is going to get it's toothbrush out & start cleaning the pores of a DPF while hurtling into a blind alley & back out again with a selection of carbon particles attached to its back?
The Forte rep advised it increases the temp in the DPF speeding up the process, but the DPF temp during regen is controlled via temp senders, air flow, Lambda, injected quantity etc & is carefully mapped by the engine management to maintain a set temperature, so surely that can't be right?
It would be nice to see Fortes extensive testing documentation on this product to see what it actually does?
Or is it a closely guarded secret like the recipe for Vimto?
