Dave_TDCI Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Straight forward question really :) I bought Redex diesel injector cleaner today to add to my fuel tank but I can't seem add it, there seems to be a mechanism locking access to where you enter the fuel. It opens when I put the diesel pump into the area for filling up but when I take it away it locks, pushing against it with the Redex bottle won't seem to open it. Just wondering if there's some sort of knack to doing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee_82 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 theres a special funnel for it, should be with the car, maybe with the spare wheel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooney157 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Hello mate i just fill a petrol can and then add the Redex to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 You would still need the easyfuel funnel with a fuel can though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_TDCI Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 There's a special funnel for it?...That's strange, I'm almost certain I bought a bottle of redex when I first bought the car and put it in?!? Checked the boot and don't appear to have one anyway. Anyone a picture of what it looks like or where to get one? Could be a right nussance if you were unlucky enough to run out of diesel on a country road so :O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 If you go to a Ford dealer they usually keep them in stock. They only cost a couple of quid. Look amongst your jacking kit in the boot, it will be a black or white flared tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee_82 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 looks like this http://www.fordpartsuk.com/images_orig/1670446/1.jpg you will be able to poke open the outer flap and pour it in, but it will just !Removed! all over the floor by the wheel, there is a second flap further down that also needs moved, hence the filling funnel thing an if you run out of diesel on a country road youll probably have more to worry about then filling it up again ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmole Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Black for Petrol. The diesel one is grey and a totally different shape and size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_TDCI Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 Thanks for the assistance lads, guess I have no choice really but to get the funnel ha :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbeer Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Mines a diesel and mines black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmole Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Ah, didn't think the 2.5's had the fancy fuel flow thing. On the Mk3 they are different colours. The petrol one wont work as the nozzle is thinner so make sure you get the right one for your model and fuel type Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
