Fuel Treatment

Newbie to this forum, which by the way is outstanding. Wondering what you prefer for fuel treatment. Seafoam, Redline, Techron...

The only fuel treatment that works is Techron or Gumout with Regane. Don't overdo it - a bottle at each oil change is more than enough. If you use good quality fuel, you won't need it anyway.

in my emissions class the only one my teacher said worked it Techron by chevron they had a fuel injector that was nasty shooting into a beaker.

Shot 50MM of gas each shot.

They mixed in some techron the frist shot was 65MM the second was 70. and the 3rd was 90MM

he said it stuned everyone working there because they had tryed so many differnt types and they all did nothing.

Techron is what i use and highly recommend.

Yep. Gumout with Regane is also effective. Everything else out there is snake oil. BG44K used to be good, but the formulation has been changed.
