Whole bottle of RedLine every 4-5 tanks, or the 10 gal treatment?

just curious, a whole bottle's a lot to put in there that often....

AFN used to have a cartoon character...

called "Dario Piretti." He promoted driving safety. Some of it was pretty funny, if not just downright stupid.

I never have a problem, probably due to regular "exercise" and good additives-->

I used to use Chevron Techron concentrate.
I am now using Berryman's Total Fuel System cleaner every 5-6 tanks, and Berryman's Fuel injector cleaner every 2-3 tanks.
The Berryman's made a small improvement in throttle response and idle improvement.<ul><li><a href="http://www.berrymanproducts.com/">http://www.berrymanproducts.com/</a</li></ul>

This has got to be the most often posted picture on the forum that is not part of a signature!

Caution, tho': POWERFUL stuff, read label carefully and heed...

I know of at least one high mileage M-B that was rendered motionless by the BG because it did such a good job at knocking the carbon off that it jammed up the cylinder (iow, it works best if you start when the engine's young than if you add it to a high mileage engine that might have a lot of gunk in it): they had to open it up and clean it out to get it running right....
