Autoprofi Oxicat is spelt the same. As far as I am aware, and I will check the knowledge management centre on the Bluechem Group site Oxycat is nothing to do with Bluechem and is as usual a straight copy, probably not from Germany. I have to look into it some more but just have no time, I will update you when I can. But, remember this rule, whenever a product is spelt nearly the same, it is inevitably a copy of something. Anything could be in the tin, there is not any legislation in the UK. Be careful. Buy from only official sources.

These are OXYCAT and say Autoprofi

I am now totally confuddled

Perhaps I will just leave it for now.

Thanks to all

Rather brazen if it is nothing to do with Autoprofi

Best way by far is to PM Bluechem and he will send them to you

It is supplied by UB Underbrand Ltd, a cycle company by the look of things. Maybe they lubricate their chains with it. It gives us a clue as to it being genuinely from Bluechem. I have sent the link to the Office, for inspection at the factory in Germany.

Richard, general question. Is it better to put Oxicat in then run it through quickly on say a 500 mile round trip over 2-3 days, or put it in and use over 3-4 weeks local runs, most of which are short? Which will have the greater benefit, or doesn't it matter?

The longer trip is better because on a run your engine will get up to full temperature, for a longer period of time. That allows Oxicat to free the Carbon, and the system can deal with it, so clearing through the entire exhaust system. It will work on shorter runs, but better on a longer journey.

Remember that Oxicat is not like other products that are retailed, it is generally trade only. A garage will generally apply Oxicat, either for a running problem or at service time. Different markets around the world require different packages and that is why there are three options and slight size differences. Autoprofi is used by a lot of Factor Suppliers, who supply garages. Powermaxx is sold in the UK, as the trade product generally. The Company, Bluechem is generally for trade customers, so as end users, it is new territory for me. And, Forum Members are the only non trade that I supply.

Bluechem,

Is it safe to leave Oxicat in the petrol for a longer period.
My car runs off LPG but it starts and runs on petrol until the engine gets to about ETC 55 degrees when it switches over. I use about 1/2 of a tank of petrol ever 6 months. So, if I fulled the tank, added a can of Oxicat, it would be sitting in the fuel for about 1 year. Is that safe or will it cause any issues?

Thanks
Ed

why would you leave it in the tank Ed ?
you need to use it up I one go to get the benefit and using one tank of petrol in one go once a year is hardly going to break the bank

That's a fair point Payno and one I had considered but I don't want to just throw money away.

stop being so tight your a welsh man not a scots man and besides you need to use it in one go to get the full benefit but my thinking is as you are running on LPG witch is a clean fuel you wont need to use it very often if at all

 

[Guest]

If I've got to pay for a full tank of petrol + a can of Oxicat then it would be close to £100 all in. I would probably see more benefit from a TerraClean which is only a bit more.

 

[payno]

like I said your running LPG so I doubt you would need to use it but I do see the need for some petrol injector cleaner as these can get gummed up on LPG cars

On the last MOT back in Feb it passed easily but the Hydrocarbons were relatively high, I was considering doing something between now and Feb to give it a good clean.

Certainly there will not be any issues with the Oxicat in the tank, but, I do a much better product for LPG conversions. The product is called Fuel System Cleaner and it will
1/ Stop the fuel from ageing, keeping it properly mixed
2/ Keep cleaning the injectors when fuel is used
3/ Clean the entire fuel system from tank to injector
4/ Mix in water droplets and carry them through the system.

You should not have so many issues with Carbon if you generally run on Gas, it is very clean and leaves less deposits. It does run 500 degrees hotter, and if not originally fitted with LPG as standard, can cause hard valve guide oil seals and burn a bit more oil. A simple seal conditioner can help with that problem if it occurs.

Cheers Ed, Regards
Richard

Thanks Richard,
I have the valve saver oil/system fitted so I'm not too worried about value set recession, or do you mean something else?
Would it be advisable (and I think I already know the answer) to run Oxicat through a tank of petrol in one go (I only use Shell V-Power if that makes any difference) and then add your LPG specific stuff after to a new tank of Nitro?

I have nothing against TerraClean, they were at the Show I was at today and there is a lot of people that have had a TerraClean and have very good results. Often on heavily Carboned-up vehicles, there can be drawbacks. Oxicat is safer, because it mixes in a tankful and works in normal driving conditions rather than a hard hitting clean.

Sounds like a good LPG conversion that you have had there, yep that works! Keep Fuel System Cleaner in the tank. Whatever fuel you are running, it is really beneficial and safeguards the fuel. If you do the Oxicat, run the fuel through and worry less about a hard hitting clean, it won't need it. If you put in an order for two tins, I will send you 1 Oxi and 1 FSC. Oxi in half a tank will have the desired effect, and saves £50 of cost.

Great, Where do I place an order?
