Default System G / D (IFTEX): yes or no????, Fuel additives thread.

i ve been using Iftex since i bought my car 6 years back, and always felt that the car performed better with Iftex along with IOC premium. Again this is recomended by FORD also.

Recently i suggested to one of my colleagues to try this on his ALTO and since the car was under warranty, he decided to check with the dealer before he used. Apparently the first dealer he went to suggested against, saying in the long run this will create problems with regard to carbon build up and would require decarbing after 30k kms.

Apparently he checked with another Maruti dealer and they also said the same.

Now the question is its an injector cleaner and it removes the petrol grime which builds up on the injector, and this is burnt out when the engine is running.

Will the brew of Iftex with petrol coz excess carbon depositing?? anybody who has got any clue on this??

the pollution level is as usual damn lil, as lil as sometimes the machine refuse to read, unless the car is reved out. and even then it settles down to .5-.7 reading.

Any thoughts/experience on this??
