Is there any reason why after using this that I should also use Chevron's fuel injector cleaner or does this do the same thing?

Both products contain the same cleaning additive (polyetheramine), the "fuel injector cleaner" just contains slightly less (and is usually slightly cheaper) than the "fuel system cleaner".

This does the same thing if you put in a higher concentration than recommended on the bottle. Every once in a while I put an entire bottle in the 9 gallon tank of my 2008 BMW R1200 GSA motorcycle to " Shock " the crud out of the engine. I put the normal quantity in every tank of gas to boos the octane as we ride at 9000-12,000 foot altitude in the remote Sangre de Cristo mountain range of Colorado. Google Westcliffe, Colorado.

I can't provide a technical answer to this question. You might want to consult the site, www.techron.com, for information provided by the company's fuel engineering staff. Personally, I use only this one product for preventative maintenance reasons in my own vehicles to avoid future problems.

I used brake cleaner and didn't see any adverse affects. Made getting old grease out of small areas much easier.

You put this in first, then u pump ur gas. Doing this way will make sure the treatment is mixed thoroughly into the gas tank. They recommend every 3k miles but i don't do that often.

Yes, that is one reason I use it. Place I bought the car recommended it. Long story short bought two gallons from Amazon, 7,000 miles ago. Running smoother since....

Changing the oil on this and all of my small engine equipment always seems more annoying than it ought to be. I purchased a PELA oil extractor (a hand vacuum pump that sucks the oil from the dipstick port at the end of season, when the engine is warm but not hot), this has made the task cleaner/simpler and has been a worthwhile purchase.

As stated on Chevron's website, ProGuard is a lower price version with only about 1/5 of the detergent in it compared to the Techron.Use Top Tier gasoline and you don't have to waste your money on these detergents.

Daniel, Over the years, I've been in the habit of using the product with every other oil change. I've always used the fuel treatment along with it. However, it depends on your driving habits and the kind of car you have. If you have a high performance auto, and drive hard, then you may want to use with each oil change. In all cases, use with fresh oil.

Contact Chevron for this technical information. It is my presumption that since Chevron puts Techron in its publicly sold gasoline at the pump, that this has not been an issue; however, for an explicit answer, contact Chevron technical department for a response.

I had a few left over and was slated to do a change in my 05 accord (Which has MAJOR transmission issues and countless of complaints; Google it) and was told by a mechanic it would be ok. Poured both products in some old glassware and I looked at it side by side I didn't see a difference But read somewhere the detergents that they use ARE different. So from me to you- I wouldn't use it in anything but what it was designed for and vice verse. This stuff is expensive compared to Regular T-oil. Why chance it if you don't have too?

I added it right before I filled up. I took the can and my funnel to the gas station. I added the can to about a quarter tank and then filled up the tank right then. I then ran the gas down to about an eighth of a tank before refilling again. It seems hat my car did run smoother after using this product. Hope this helps.

If this other product is from Liqui Moly I would direct question to them on their website. Why use more than 1 engine treatment?

I use diesel in mine with no issues, second season of use. Just followed cleaning instructions after first season.

Technically wet. The kit comes with adapters that attach to your existing fuel injectors. Factory fuel lines and NOS lines are attached to the adapter, thus when armed NOS and Gasoline are injected into the combustion chamber simultaneously. I believe the kit comes with 50 and 75 HSP jets. Check the ZEX site for supplied jets with this kit....sticks in my mind it may also come with a 100 HSP jet. Also check into a NOS purge kit. BEWARE, THIS SYSTEM IS NOT C.A.R.B. COMPLIANT!! So if you live in California, or a state that has adopted C.A.R.B. emission standards, the entire system typically have to remove the entire system to get your Emissions cert........

I am guessing this is a defect as not all users report this issue. I am one of the ones that did experience this problem though. I took my rotary tool with a grinding bit and wore down the pin that goes into the fuel canister. After lowering the pin slightly I no longer get any fuel spray.

The kukri plus but just wipe it clean after use. Then light oil and it is good. Couple minutes work.
