I have been using Redline injector cleaner in my 83SC. it has a valve lubricant additive that I like. I only use Chevron 93 in my car and I have new injectors. I have read so much on the inconsistancies of the gas refining process even with Chevron that I feel a good treatment is necessary for proper fuel system operation,especially in our older cars.

Different strategies?
 
When it comes to build-up perhaps the concentrated 20 oz. bottle to a near empty tank isn't the most effective.

It was recommended to me that a bottle in 20 gallons gives that much volume of cleaning, and more effective cleaning compared to only 50 miles or less of the conc. tank.

Just another 2 cents...

to my understanding.. the 20oz per tank is more effective if it's not a daly driver.. or only a short haul ride.. to give the Techron time to do its thing.. compared to a 300 mile ride

Hey Steve, what do you use for a chaser??
Marvel Mystery Oil!!

Goes down smooth and lubricates the innards!

:D

Ah, Marvel Mystery Oil....................
My mechanic said that I MUST use this stuff in my rebuilt 2.4 so I ran this up on the board this past summer and had a hell of a response from aircraft to snowmobile operators.

Although I use Chevron (gas and cleaner) I pour in 10 ounces of Marvel Mystery Oil in every third tank fill up. Great top end lubricant and fights moisture build up.

My buddy who runs a major maritime institute swears on this stuff for all marine engines. Heck, its been around since the 1920's, so something is working..................

93 Octane! I want some! What is the problem with this stupid State of California! I filled up yesterday "Chevron 91 Octane" and the cost was $1.99 a gallon. It just keeps climbing and climbing. I think the county and the station owners are screwing us badly.

What are the rest of you paying for fuel? and what octane?

Whodathunk, this Techron stuff actually works. I did 20oz in 3/4 tank and followed up with 20oz on 4/4 tank. 2/4 way through the second tank and the engine is running smoother (and it was not rough before this). Time for a valve adjustment and oil change next :)

I have an idea.

Why don't you just read the instuctions on the bottle?

There you go. Smart as a bull's ass. :)
