Fuel additive?

Any of you guys running a fuel additive occasionally that you put in the gas tank? Like chevron, lucus, seafoam, amsoil? I started using amsoil upper cylinder lubricant recently on my new 23 tacoma.

 

I use Chevron Techron and Lucas total fuel system treatment with Costco gas. Lucas seems to make a small noticeable difference, the Chevron Techron not so much.

$24 BG44k BG 44K Fuel System Cleaner Power Enhancer 11oz.

BG44k

 

Every now and then when I'm feeling my pockets are deep i'll dump in two bottles of the cleaner on sale.

When I buy a new used car like most recently a 92 Camry, and I actually want to attempt cleaning, I get ACDelco fuel system treatment-gasoline.

To be honest, if you use Top Tier gas and take a highway drive every now and then you don't need cleaner

 

I only run shell, Exxon, or Sunoco or any other top tier fuel. Still like to use the fuel additive though sometimes

 

I run Amsoil PI every oil change

 

Every couple of months I put in a can of gumout multi system fuel cleaner. It has PEA in it which is what you need. I don’t know if it works but I have never had a issue with fuel delivery. Occasionally I’ll check the trim level with my OBD scanner and its +/- 1. That’s pretty good for 190,000 miles.

 

My limited experience:

2 F-150 4.9's that went 375K plus - no additives and no related issues from the lack thereof.
2 1st gen Tundras that went 350K plus - no additives and no related issues from the lack thereof.
2 2nd gen Tacomas that went 350K plus - no additives and no related issues from the lack thereof.

All running the cheapest 87 in whatever town they lived in at the time.
Take it for what it is..

Used to use all that shit when I was a kid though. lol
Even Slick-50

 

No. Why.

 

Good stuff

 

Good to know thanks

 

Why do you feel that you need to use the additive? Does your engine run rough? I haven’t had mines long enough to notice anything that needed fuel additive to correct.

 

I use a bottle of this or that in the tank every few months. Lucas is my first choice, but I’ve used the others.

 

One bottle of Techron with my last fill up before each oil change.

 

I do the same. The PI interval is a shy of the OCI but it's close enough for me.

 

Sta-bil when my truck sits from Dec through April. Nothing else.

Remember anything other than gasoline in your tank has a chance of poisoning your catalytic converters.

 

you know that tick tick sounds you hear once in awhile , its self cleaning my friend theres no need to add some feel good in a bottle

 

So what is the magic tik tik cleaning, the engine switching over to port injection? Normal port injectors get dirty over time. A decent injector cleaner can help over time and probably increase the cleaning of the valves. If you don't keep your vehicle for many years than probably not needed, but I keep mine a long time and never once had an issue.

 

My 3RZ gets a glass of Saki every full moon. Very effective.

 

Techron is a great product. I stock up when my local Advance auto parts store runs a BOGO sale on it.
