good video for the dummies like me...watched all 3 ..and would say YES to that ..enjoyed your video..and PROOF that its a prventative measure worth doing ...thanx again for taking the time to share this with dummies like me..
😂Well from one fellow Dummy to another thank you 🙏 and thanks for watching 👀
Hi, thanks for posting 😊. To add some info for your test of this product - I have used this on a very smoky VW T4 (2.5TDI) and it works. The Wynn's cleaner works, some of the others, not so much. For the T4 I ran 3 bottles through over the course of about 6 weeks and it made a big difference. I have also used it on ford turbo diesels, again it seemed to work. It wont fix a knacked engine but if its just getting a bit clogged it helps . Wynn's works best when used regularly, put some in your tank occasionally and it should help keep the gunge clear. Unless you have a DPF then its gonna clog up entirely at some point anyway😜.
Thank you for your comment and watching 👀 I’m putting together another video on the Wynn’s Noise Reducer and measuring the results with a noise level tester. Out soon.
Hi Rusty, put about £30 worth of Shell Premium Diesel in fuel tank and go for an hours drive but do not go into top gear and try to keep engine revs high, that should clear most of the carbon build up in the engine and the exhaust.
Thanks for the tip 👍 and for watching 👀
Interesting. Obviously not a particularly scientific test but does suggest some improvement. I am using it in an older 2005 Citroen diesel, low miles but pretty smokey. I will update in a few weeks ;)
Great good luck will be interesting to know. I used just a cheaper Supermarket diesel, results may have been even better using a premium diesel ⛽️ Thanks for commenting and watching 👀
Your pick up is always drawing from the bottom of your tank. Regardless of fuel level. Just like a drinking straw into a glass of Pop. If there was sediment it's being drawn up all the time.
That’s a great point, and you’re absolutely correct that the fuel pickup always draws from the bottom of the tank, similar to a straw in a glass. However, sediment and debris tend to settle at the very lowest point when the fuel is still or when the tank is relatively full. Under normal conditions, the fuel filter manages to catch most of these particles before they cause any issues.
The concern arises when the fuel level gets very low, or if the car is driven over uneven or bumpy roads. In these scenarios, the motion can stir up settled sediment, suspending it in the fuel where it has a greater chance of being pulled through the pickup and clogging the filter or injectors. This is especially problematic in older tanks where rust or debris may have accumulated over time.
Using a fuel additive or even premium fuel can help in two ways: it can break down or disperse these particles, preventing clogs, and it can also clean the fuel system by removing deposits that may have built up over time. So while sediment is technically always present at the bottom of the tank (not so much on very new cars), low fuel levels or movement can significantly increase the risk of it causing issues. Thanks for bringing this up-it’s an excellent point to discuss! Thanks for watching 👀
Almost all diesel engines do not have a fuel pump in the tank, they have a low and high pressure fuel pumps directly driven from the timing gears or cam shaft
Over generalisation. Vw for exam have produced a gigantic amount of popular tdis all with a fuel pump in the tank (along with a tandem in the engine bay). These are shared in a vast number of audis and skodas.
Doesn’t matter where the pump is located. You'll typically find the fuel pump located in the fuel tank. If your car has GDI, there will also be a high-pressure fuel pump located near the fuel rail in the engine compartment. My drawing was simply to illustrate that it’s not a good idea to suck up the deposits at the bottom of the tank running it on empty, diesel or petrol they still have filters that can block by dirty fuel, rust and other contaminants. Primary filter between the tank and the fuel supply pump. A finer secondary filter between the fuel supply pump and the cylinder head with unit injectors. The supply pump and the high pressure pump all can be affected. Thanks for watching 👀
It's the exact opposite, almost all diesel engines DO have a fuel pump in the tank. Your information is about 25 years old, might wanna refresh it
for definitive results you should have had an emisions tests before and after. feelings can be deceptive due to the placebo effect.
Agreed, although that would cost me more to do! Visually the emissions looked clearer than at the start of the process less soot. Thanks for commenting and watching 👀
Old myths about low fuel and the pump. The sock filters any debris at the bottom. And then pickup tube is so low you're either going to be pulling fuel through, cooling the motor, or out of fuel.
Not so sure, maybe with really new modern car designs. But older ones and classics I have had experience of pump failing due to blocked filters. Leading to new pump and tank replacements. Thanks for watching 👀
@rustyrestos I won't rule it out. I ran a couple of cars on maximum 1/4 tank for a decade and no issues. On One I pulled the pump and the sock was very clean still. Immaculate even. Anecdotal examples but hey. Thanks for the video
@ Thanks for watching and commenting. Lots of viewers don’t leave comments. It all helps the channel grow 👀
I don’t believe that low fuel will suck up more debris as pump is always sucking from lowest point of tank
@dan8789 Dirt, rust, and debris can enter the fuel tank and accumulate in the filter. Bacteria and fungi can grow in fuel, particularly diesel, creating a sludge that clogs the filter. Google it! Also I have had first hand experience of it.
Worst diagram
Totally wrong
Fuel doesn’t fill the tank via the pump
Fills through a large bore filler pipe directly to the tank
Fuel pump has a feed pipe to the injection pump via a filter also has a return line for unused fuel
Thanks for commenting, although that’s not the point to my diagram it was simplistic yes, to show the concept of the filter becoming blocked by debris etc. Not to demonstrate how it’s filled. And Yes and No to your comment: Yes, in certain vehicle systems, fuel can be returned to the fuel tank via the fuel pump. This occurs primarily in vehicles with a return-type fuel system, where excess fuel supplied to the engine is sent back to the tank. Here are the key details:
1. Return-Type Fuel Systems
• In these systems, the fuel pump delivers fuel under pressure to the engine, but any fuel not used by the injectors returns to the tank through a return line.
• This process prevents fuel overheating and maintains consistent pressure in the fuel rail.
2. Models Using This Setup
• Older vehicles with mechanical fuel pumps often utilize return lines. Examples include many carbureted cars and early fuel-injected models, such as:
• 1980s Toyota Corolla and Camry models.
• Pre-1990s Ford and GM vehicles with throttle-body injection.
• Some modern vehicles with high-performance engines may also employ return-style systems to stabilize fuel delivery during extreme conditions.
3. Modern Adjustments
• Most modern vehicles have switched to returnless fuel systems, where the fuel pressure is regulated inside the tank or along the delivery line, removing the need to return fuel. However, in specialized cases or modifications, return systems still exist.
These systems reflect different design philosophies regarding fuel efficiency, cooling, and emissions control. Let me know if you’d like more specifics about a particular vehicle type!
@JamieMerchant-w8b Thank you for taking the time to share your opinion. My drawing was intentionally simple and focused on capturing the overall idea rather than intricate details. While I can see how it might not meet everyone’s expectations, I appreciate constructive feedback and will use it to improve my future work.
Bull
Please keep your comments polite.
Goat.
Appreciate it! Glad you think it’s GOAT-worthy! Thanks for watching 👀
no point using it just use premium diesel. works out cheaper

I only use Shell V Power diesel and I think it's good stuff. But I'm not sure you are correct about it being cheaper than using additives. Shell V Power is 17p per litre more than standard Shell. That's £11.90 extra on just one tank. Even more difference if you compare with supermarket fuel where the basic stuff is likely to be over 30p per litre cheaper than the V Power- over £20 per tank.
@@jamesdavis8425 II have a 1.6 Focus TDCi and I also use V Power after it failed its emissions on previous MOT. The tester advised using it and it’s been fine since then. It is more expensive but, it helps with the dreaded DPF issues raising their head.
