My rep has also jumped ship and gone with 4tec but I don't use much of the stuff so am yet to make up my mind. On the subject of the use of additives I will try and not fall off the fence
I have used Forte seal treatment on leaking trolley jacks as well as my 20t press and all leaks were cured. I once put some in the gearbox of a Volvo that was leaking quite badly and a trip to the moon later and it was still leak free!
I only tend to use the fuel additive for filling up new fuel filters (no contamination) and will agree with some on the placebo effect. The reps will try and sell the stuff based on the profit potential but my view is that there is always something else more important that needs doing on the car. So rather than add £30 (for additive and flush) I find myself looking for ways of reducing the bill. A pair of wiper blades makes just as much profit and has a huge safety factor!
Regards,
Bryan.
