I have used FTC previously and know how good it actually is. When completing my latest order, I was advised to combine the CRD fuel enhancer. In enquiring how much I should get, after previously purchasing 5L of FTC, I was advised to get just the 1L FTC and 250ml CRD, which was a significant cost saving, proving the team is about great service and advice, not price gouging or profiteering. Thank you, CEM.
