Default opinions on fuel additives/treatments (1.8t)
is a fuel additive like Chevron w/ Techron or Gumout okay to use with the 1.8T?

Default hehe... a link to something I posted a while ago...
and I still haven't figured out which one to use. However, the lab that analyzed my oil suggested that I use a fuel treatment because my nitration and oxidation levels were elevated. They suggested something called "Fuel Power". Myself, I'm leaning towards either BG 44K or Chevron Techron.

Default I've never heard anyone having problems with their fuel sock. Because of this, I'm still a Redline
SI-1 patron. This stuff is great.
