06specialedition Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Anyone use fuel/injector treatment on their gas motors? I've used seafoam alot in the past on other vehicles, but have been reading good things about B12 Chemtool....anyone use B12? Looking for something good to run through my V10 with about 56K miles.

flyRTby Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 (edited) I like Techron. It can be found and most local auto parts stores. We ran tests on quite a few different fuel additives/treatments when i was in college. Techron was the only one that improved fuel mileage and performance. Also, if you can find a gas station that runs %100 gasoline USE IT! We used to have a gas station here in Macomb, Michigan that ran 100% gasoline. Needless to say the oil companies finally got the best of them.. All the fucking ethanol they put in our fuel is KILLING our fuel mileage.. Also if you have any friends/relatives/trusted mechanics that offer BG products. They have a phenomenal 3 part fuel induction service that works GREAT! I've also heard good things on amsoil PI but i've never used it.. Edited April 26, 2012 by flyRTby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tedder Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Can't say as I ever used B-12 in the fuel as an injector cleaner but I use it all the time in their spray and liquid form. By far the strongest carb cleaner type solvent I've ever used. Great stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06specialedition Posted May 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Picked up five cans of seafoam(75gallon tank), I'll throw it all in when I fill her up full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theshee Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Amsoil pi is about as good as it gets for fuel system cleaner. It's a little expensive though. I'm not a huge believer of any of it, but my mechanic buddy said amsoil pi is the best if you want to use fuel system cleaner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyRTby Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 in reply to my previous post. Shell gasoline FTMFW! Between Shell and BP they have the highest percentage of detergents in their fuel. Detergents are great for knocking down carbon build up that wicks away fuel/performance. It starts with good fuel and is maintained with additives/cleaners. Sea foam to me is a lazy mans carb cleaner, just my .02. I would use it, but it defiantly would not be my first choice. Also a little side note fuel goes bad after 90 days. (yes i know we all have had fuel in a tractor, weed whip, banshee etc. for longer than that and it still runs ok. Lets face it though, when you ditch the old fuel and replace with new: easier starts, better performance, cleaner running engine.) Use fuel stabilizer if the fuel/canister/vehicle will be sitting for 3 months or more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
