    If you had to, which fuel additive would you run?

    I'm having a childish "gotta have it" complex right now, and I want to put something other than fuel in my fuel tank.

    I'm looking at Chevron's Techron Fuel System Cleaner right now.

    Anyone have any good or bad stories about any fuel additives they've used?

      Have someone take a piss in your gas tank. It'll do about as much good.

            I put a bottle of the Chevron Techron concentrate in the tank just before the first day at Cal Speedway. I figured I may as well get rid of the sulfur buildup along with the carbon :D Check Tech Talk in the latest Roundel.

              BERRYMANS b-12 makes an excellent product run a can for every 10 or 12 gallons.

                I used BMW's fuel additive because it was there, e30 medicine is what I called it.

                      I did put two bottles of techron in the empty tank of my motorcycle and it smoothed the idle quite a bit. I'm still going to have to rebuild the carbs though.

                        bimmertoad's idea: run a bottle of seafoam at a DE.

                          Ive used techron and seafoam. Not sure if either really did anything in the long run.
