HI ratm, GOOD man lol.
AS you correctly say there is always a risk when flushing high mileage engines, but, if its a choice between the devil and the deep blue sea, then you have to make a choice, to flush or not to flush. Over the years I used and sold Forte I never wrecked an engine, I flushed many an old escort with the dreaded CVH engine ( sludge buckets )I remember doing one for a haulage company, it had failed its mot... thick blue smoke, I warned the guy it could finish the engine,( the car had gone round the clock ) he said " well its, not worth a strip down " I flushed the bottom, gassed the top, it passed it's mot and the next one a year later ( well on emissions it passed )
If the rings are gummed in... and released with the flush there is an oil fortifier that can be added to the new oil, it puts a coating on them and still allows them to do their job.Saying that a diesel engine is harder to kill with a flush, given what they run on and the fact that the compression ratio is much higher,they do get gummed in but, not to the extent that they do on a petrol. I found they freed up without much fuss at all.
Diesel fuel conditioner, its fab, but use with caution, put the can into a FULL tank of fuel, many people don't know that diesel tanks are a playground for bacteria, this bacteria feeds of the carbons in the fuel, it has the damp dark tank and so thrives. DFC has an antibacterial property in it, if you add it to a half tank of fuel you will kill the bacteria all at once, cough cough splutter, filter blocked, fuel starvation, car packs in, then when you take the filter off there is a pile of slime in there. By adding to a FULL tank of fuel the bacteria will be killed slowly, it then mix's with the fuel and is burnt in the combustion process.
If you have thick black smoke ( unburnt fuel ) then the DFC will clean and restore the spray pattern on the injector nozzle, I did one the other day it failed at 9.7 two days later when the fuel was almost gone my cousin re-fuelled and we checked again it was down to 1.2 I think...
If you own, run or have access to a garage, check emissions, ( the full monty ) take compressions, test drive, treat and do the same again, note the figures, re- check in a few months.
Strip down..... or a few bottles..... she says to the man lol
