Techron is the only thing that goes near my tank. Only one that works according to consumer reports.

Default It's a party for your engine !!

Techron is a fuel additive that cleans carbon from valves and combustion chambers. You can get it at any auto parts store, or Chevron gas staions(since that's who makes it. Use it every 3000 miles. Chevron also puts it in their gas. Havent you ever seen those animated cars on TV asking for Chevron with Techron.

I said it was available at just about every auto parts store in America. I know K-Mart or Walmart has it. Black bottle long neck.

Default Just remembered !! Important !!

Techron is available as straight 100% Techron, or as an additive in a few different engine cleaners they make. Only buy the Bottle marked with a big "Techron" across the label. Not the ones that contain Techron. Look for the pure Techron. All right I hope it's clear now. Big Techron. Remember. Big.
