Your Feedback

We would like to thank you for the fantastic feedback we have received over the past few months. It ceases to amaze us that a can of BG 44K® or BG 244 fuel systen cleaner can fully restore the performance of fuel injectors on vehicles where authorised dealers had quoted many hundreds (some thousands) to replace them. Keep the feedback coming, and again, don’t hesitate to contact us if you require further assistance or advice.

Does Your Engine Suffer From:

  • Hesitation or Flat Spots? Rough Idle?
  • Poor Fuel Consumption?
  • Lack of Power?
  • Poor Acceleration?
  • Excessive smoke?

Do You Suspect Your Engine May Have:

  • Dirty or Clogged Fuel Injectors?
  • Carbon Deposits on Intake Components, Valves or Combustion Chambers?
  • A Clogged EGR System or Particulate Filter?
  • A Clogged Catalytic Converter?

 

If so, BG 244 ® can help:
This perfectly safe and modern treatment, which is simply added to a full tank of diesel, cleans away accumulated deposits in parts of the engine fuel system (including injectors) and from the intake components, intake valves and combustion chambers.

You may have heard about its petrol counterpart “BG 44K®” from car clubs and internet forums. If so, you will be familiar with the fantastic response that product has received; the same is now happening with BG 244®. Gone are £100+ garage bills to remove and clean fuel injectors, or worse, authorised dealers telling
you your vehicle requires new injectors with some repair bills running well into four figures. Gone is the need to tear down engines to remove built-up carbon deposits. In fact, in the US BG 244® as well as other BG products now feature as part
of routine car servicing by established car manufacturers and their dealers networks. The same is now happening in the UK

With a recommended use of every 6,000 to 12,000 miles, one treatment is all that’s required for you to notice the difference in starting and engine running. Most notice a difference within 1/3 of a tank through the treatment.

Please don’t confuse BG 244 ® with off-the-shelf injector cleaners. There is no comparison and no better product available on the market today. Other cleaners don’t provide the necessary cleaning power to completely remove deposits, gum and varnish from fuel injectors. Furthermore, they barely touch the carbon deposits
that accumulate over time. At best, they maintain a cleaner fuel system; the problem being that’s it not convenient nor cost effective for you to have to add a cleaner every time you fill your vehicle with fuel.

Similarly, don’t confuse BG 244 ® with “magic” additives that claim increased
horsepower or wildly improved fuel economy. What BG 244 ® actually does is restore the performance of your engine back to when it was new. Lost performance and degraded fuel economy will be restored and your vehicle will perform as it did when it left the factory.

What makes BG 244 ® so effective? A main contributory factor is a key active ingredient called Polyether-amine. As acknowledged by the Engine Manufacturers Association (www.enginemanufacturers.org), PEA as it is commonly known, is the only recognised and approved chemical compound for dissolving and removing hard baked carbon deposits. BG 244® contains a strong Polyetheramine compound
(considerably more than in other cleaners or fuels alone) and is mixed to produce a propriety formula that does for the diesels what BG 44K® is doing for petrol vehicles.

FACT: Internal combustion engines are inefficient and whilst this remains the case they will accumulate deposits. Whilst steps have been taken to include detergents in fuel, unfortunately, they DO NOT contain enough Polyether-amine based chemistry to keep an engine free from deposits.

We would urge you to search on Google, where you will find many links to websites owned by car manufacturers and dealers supporting the use of BG products, not least, BG 44K®, BG 244® and other Total Deposit Control® products. You will also find a wealth of positive feedback and testimonials from those who have tried and continue to use these products. BG are experts in deposit control and removal for the combustion engine and have lead the way in this field for years. If you own a diesel vehicle then pay close attention to the amount of smoke emitted from the exhaust particularly under hard acceleration. If necessary, have a friend follow behind. Then check again 200 miles later after having administered BG 244®. You should notice a reduction. Not only will the injectors be operating more efficiently but the entire intake system should be clean. It is perfectly safe for modern common rail diesel engines.

Directions – How to Use BG244®? Add a full can of BG244® to the fuel tank using the pouring funnel provided (its best to do this at a filling station.) Then fill the tank full with diesel immediately afterwards.

Drive your vehicle normally but try to make the tank last for at least a week. Short journeys will help ensure BG244® has the chance to clean the fuel system thoroughly. When your vehicle is left with approximately ¼ tank of fuel remaining,
fill up again. This will give you a very potent dose for ¾ of a tank and a less potent dose (but still strong when compared to other cleaners) for another full tank of fuel.

Are Fuel Additives Safe?

Are BG fuel system and engine cleaners (or other cleaners for that matter) safe for my engine?

This is a question we get asked weekly and I would like to put your mind at rest from the outset. From all our experience and testing we have yet to find a commercial fuel-based engine cleaning product that has resulted in any form of short, medium or long term damage to a fuel system or engine. Sure, there are many products that are useless and don’t deliver as promised but the main commercial ones we have tested are at least totally benign to an engine, including those with superchargers or turbo chargers.

Please note that this is not a licence for you to put any old rubbish in your fuel tank! With BG being the largest and most respected producer of vehicle based chemicals in the United States for many years, and after selling hundreds of thousands of cleaners throughout the trade whilst working directly with manufactures such as VW and Audi, we have yet to hear of any damage of any kind.

This core ingredient of BG cleaners, PEA (Polyether-amine) is proven and documented by the Worldwide Fuel Charter to be the only chemistry proven to safely remove carbon from within a combustion engine. Providing the recommend dosages are not seriously abused our cleaners are no more dangerous than putting gasoline (or diesel for diesel engines) in the fuel tank.
 
So why does my main dealer and car manual insist on no fuel additives?

This is down to a combination of draconian thinking and commercial protection. Firstly and unlike in the US, manufactures (fronted through their main dealers) have a vested interest in maintaining a “replace with new policy”. For example, if a main dealer plugs in their diagnostics computer and it registers a faulty diesel fuel pump or faulty injectors then they must advise the customer that they require a new pump or injectors.

We have seen a bill for almost £3000 to supply and fit 4 new diesel injectors from one of our customers! The fact that injectors and pumps can be reconditioned or that a good quality cleaner will 95% of the time resolve the problem is irrelevant. Main dealers have little choice and they risk falling out of favour with the manufacture or worse, losing their franchise if they deviate from the “replace with new” policy. If you accidently put a stain on the carpet would just replace the carpet without trying to clean it first?

Secondly, UK based manufacturers and dealers are protecting themselves from customers that may foolishly put a harmful substance in the fuel tank, i.e. bleach (and we’re not joking) or putting fuel additives in with the oil or visa-versa. Hence, a straight forward “no additives” policy.

It also doesn’t help that the taboo surrounding oil additives has had a significant but negative impact on the use of fuel based additives in the UK.

So why is it different in the United States?

Unlike in the UK, the US main dealers have a strong influence over the manufactures. In many cases it is the main dealer that will call the shots. Unfortunately in the UK it is quite the opposite although we are starting to witness some change with manufacturers (such as VW/Audi) using BG direct to provide additive based solutions for their vehicles. It’s just that the cans are labelled VW even though they are BG products.

Many main dealers in the US use BG 44K, BG 244 and other BG products as part of routine servicing and have been doing so for some time with great success as have our UK-based customers who have tried and continue to use BG products.
