So what exactly are you doing? I go to my local Mower guy and buy a one shot Stihl 2 stroke bottle which I add to 5 litres of petrol. Do you just add one of those to a full tank?? |

Surely you add it before filling up, so it mixed in Would the slight red tinge also get looked at if your stopped? I know the red diesels dyed but to the eye the diesel will look red... I presume , so until they test you could be in for avoiding duty, |

you are telling me that if you add a shot of redex or STP diesel cleaner ( same one that land rover use ) that it will void your warranty ! and you think Land Rover would test the fuel to get out of a warranty claim when they have loads of other things on our cars that they now are faults and cannot even solve those 2014 5.0SC AB Gone 5.0 SC |

If a manufacturer tests for fuel additives which they do, ie if your vehicle has gone in for lets say a failed piston/valves etc or any other fuel related item they have been known to void the warranty claim due to fuel additives, i'm sure ive also read it either in the manual or the warranty booklet. A lot of high performance car owners use octain booster and this is another culpret that has been known to void engines warranties that have gone bang |
