DonnyJagaru Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 If your gas is fouling your injectors go after the oil company for the cost of repairs. I used to work at one of them and we'd issue checks all the time for this kind of thing. We paid for a few engine rebuilds too. I've used gas additives to boost octane when I got a bad tank, but I don't use additives as part of regular maintenance. There's plenty of detergents in gasolines already.

SSpeed Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I decided to give Berryman's B12 a try and the Outback I put back together. It threw a misfire code the other day with no clear cause. I'd already tried Lucas and Marvel Mystery Oil. This car had sat for years with the previous owner, then burned a valve on cyl 4. I pulled the engine and fixed it all. The Berryman's seems to work well. The idle smoothed out greatly, and I didn't consider it rough before. So far the mileage looks to be great. No misfire codes so far, but the one code I got seemed random, it was the bad mileage that had me wondering. I might drop some Berryman's in to my old 1970s motorcycles and snowmobiles sitting in my garage. The snowmobiles had lead residue in the carbs.

GrasshopperLGT Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Is this the stuff? I'm about to head off to either AutoZone or Advance Auto Parts to pick some up! Just making sure I get the right can.

turboboost Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Yeap, that's the one. I use a can every 10 fill-ups or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Gator Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) I run Torco Accelerator, 500 ml mixed into 5 gals of Premium. I buy it in the 5 Gallon pails on Amazon. You have to remember to shake or stir it first before mixing into the gas. Edited June 18, 2015 by Sgt.Gator Nothing like a race track to find the weak points in man and machine.

paul85 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I have the hesitation between 2-3k in 2nd or 3rd sometimes and somewhat lower than normal idle. I'm going to smoke test my car tomorrow but in the mean time, figured this wouldn't hurt. Going to put the 2nd bottle I bought in my sequoia since it has 162k and could probably use some fuel treatment as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pleides Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Holy thread bump, Batman! Fuel nowadays all comes from the same suppliers and refineries. Chevron/Shell/Sunoco, etc, all just add a few extra injector cleaning additives. I went almost 220K before my injectors developed a leak, and it was because they were removed and reinstalled during an engine rebuild without new o-rings.
