I don't use V-Power anymore

I've had CEL's come on in the past after filling with v-p which eventually went away after refuelling with Momentum 99.
I believe it could be because there are too many detergents in v-p and have stopped using it as haven't had one CEL come up using M99 with redex,the best combination for my M and the station is just down the road.

I feel at ease that the chances of getting a stuck injector are lessened with putting the red stuff in the tank, I carry a bottle in the car always and it fits nicely in the BMW one litre oil can zipped cover
