HINO AC 140 bus camper with a WO6D engine…
I own a HINO bus camper powered by a WO6D engine. After 2 x double doses of FTC the engine idle improved within the first 150 klm's. With cold starts after the first tank full the engine no longer emits smoke. It was my brother who's a mechanic of many years who advised me about FTC and swears by it. Great company to deal with and I will use FTC in my SKID STEER, TOYOTA DYNA and ISUZU farm ute. Thanks for the great service CEM Team

Website payment glitch but otherwise good
The website was clear and easy to navigate. However, a website glitch at payment resulted in double-payment. Thankfully a direct phone call got that matter sorted out quickly.

Great service
Great service, delivery time, and top notch products.
Our LC200 is only used as an expedition vehicle and is always loaded and towing a 3.5T caravan. I use the FTC Decarboniser and CRD Fuel Enhancer in every tankful to keep the fuel system and injectors in peak condition.
