Kenny, I agree with you. I learned from a mechanic 30 years ago that "preventative maintenance" is key to any vehicle.

[@elsullo2]

I don't know if the formula is the same since new owners took over the brand, but SLICK 50 used to work like magic to improve an engine. My 1971 Ford F-100 302 V-8 lasted well over 150000 miles without any major work before I sold it away, and I blame it on Slick 50. One time at about 80000 miles I gave it a PERFECT tune-up and oil change, minus one quart. It was all warmed up and PURRRRRRRRRING sweetly. I poured in one quart of Slick 50 and within thirty seconds that Purrrr became a quiet HUMMMMMMMMMMMM! It was incredible, but that really happened! From then on I used Slick 50 once a year, and drove it without engine problems ever again, for twenty more years.............................elsullo

I'll probably get hammered for this, but on my Silverado 2500 with a 5.7L I'll dump a quart of ATF in the tank on a fill up before an extended road trip, I'll do this once at least every year or two. My last trip from Tucson to Phoenix, when I pulled into my driveway, my fuel pump was screaming like a banshee. Changed my fuel filter and she quieted back down because that filter was darn near clogged. Truck has 208,000 miles and passes emissions every year with flying colors and this is a tailpipe check and not an OBD plugin. I swear by ATF as a decent fuel system cleaner, but use it on a full tank and then drive it hard.

[@benjamincresswell3713]

ATF is super detergent but has fire retardant ( used to be PBB) in it. Techron is a brand name, most any detergent additive works. But GM does not recommend any additives except Techron. P.S.

I agree with you. Preventative maintenance is the key. The only bottle stuff I have used that did what it said was Slick 50. I used it because it left a coat of oil or whatever on the engine so on first startup in the morning, the engine didn't start dry. It worked great on my wife's Ford that always left a little puff of blue on first start. Once I used it, no more puff. Thanks for the tip.

I started using this thing with my Honda bike when it had like 50000 miles on it and it really woke her up! Techron is good stuff... I just dumped one bottle in my Focus ST last week and life is good!

Nice video Kenny, and informative. I had an old car back in the late '70s as you said. Being a kid I never filled the tank. Well I filled it up one day with premium gas and put the good old stp gas treatment in it. I guess I can say it worked, actually too good. It cleaned the tank, lines and everything. I changed fuel filters left and right for a long time before I got it straight.

[@davetherave6569]

Hey Ken, I'm pretty much a Shade Tree mechanic. Been using Techtron for years. What sold me was when I was diagnosing a 92 chevy 4.3 with a rough idle issue. I was using the Old Snap On "Brick" at the time. The Brick suggested using Techtron. A Tankfull later and problem solved! The ATF trick I discovered as a kid. Dad said check the oil on our 73 Impala (454). I deceided that it could use a quart so I grabbed the 1st can, put the sput in and as I was filling, I noticed that the can was striped (old Quaker State). I thought I goofed, but my friends Dad said no problem, it'll just clean it out! One more thing, ATF and Acetone, 50/50= homemade PB Blaster! Thanks for your posts, I'm still learning!!

[@michaelmartin2276]

Supposedly gas doesn't evaporate as much as it used to. I have had good luck with Berrymans B-12 fuel additive.

[@StringerNews1]

Gasoline is a compound of multiple chemicals, each having a different volatility. New cars have closed fuel systems that catch the evaporated components, reliquefy them and return them to the tank. In older cars, that stuff is lost to the atmosphere.

[@charliehargrave7458]

Chemtool b12 works great to. Cleans out old varnish from fuel system and carbon deposits

[@ozzstars_cars]

Techron is a good product. I have been using it for years and have personally seen it clear up a P0420 code on a Subaru Outback. Acceleration off idle smoothed improved as well.

I love Techron fuel system cleaner.. I use it a lot on my gas vehicles which consist of 4 cylinder cars from hyundai and mazda.. these have 12 gallon tanks usually so when one get down to like 1/4 tank I put one full bottle in and drive it like it stole it for 30 mins or so.. hard acceleration, keeping in lower gear to keep RPM up etc.. usually this was one of the kids cars so I told them what was going on and said when you need to drive the car a bit hard, when it gets down to E fill tank and put the other bottle of cleaner in an drive normal.. even the daughters noticed a better driving running car.. so yeah it the deal..

Yes,I found out that the lifter free additives were only a temporary fix for bad hydraulic lifters in my car although even a Ford mechanic unstuck the piston rings in a 1.5 litre Ecoboost engine in a Ford Escape with Rislone engine flush. Yes, in Australia you can't bolt a 5.7 litre Chevrolet LS1 V8 engine into a Series 1 model VT Commodore which ran the 5 litre Holden V8 engine unless the parts from a series 2 VT onwards Commodore which ran that engine is fitted, like the front K frame, fuel pump, wiring loom,PCM, transmission,fuel pump sending unit, etc,etc. It's like the Holden VL Commodore was basically a homologated VK Commodore which ran the Nissan RB30E engine which was from the R31 Skyline in Australia, the Jatco E4N71B 4 speed automatic transmission won't fit into the transmission tunnel in the VK Commodore since it's a bigger unit, even the VK Commodore tunnel will need modifications done to it. So the Jatco E4N71B 4 speed automatic transmission won't fit where the Tri Matic (3L30) transmission or the M21 4 speed manual transmission lives although the Nissan MF5 5 speed manual might fit without modifying the transmission tunnel !

As someone who back in the day spent years slinging auto parts at one of the then largest auto parts retailers in the country, and also had the nickname of mr chemical for my obsession to test every automotive additive to see which ones really worked, this is a list of additives which along with Techron Fuel System Cleaner are ones that i can honestly say I've seen repeated positive results from and in some cases even seen miracles happen: Berryman B-12 Chemtool Carburetor, Fuel System and Injector Cleaner Lubegard 19610 Instant Shudder Fixx the original TransX Automatic Transmission Stop Leak & Tune Up Gearbox Fix Rislone Transmission Stop Slip with Leak Repair the original K&W Block Seal the original Alumaseal radiator stop leak the original Gunk Motor Flush Engine Cleaner & K&W Fast Motor Flush dislcaimer: transmissions is one of those components which in my experience have sometimes required a combination of products and treatments to achieve a positive result but also where too much can cause even more problems

But this year I've changed out everything in the tank, fuel pump, pressure regulator, filter, sending unit, wiring harness, all hoses and the check valve at the bottom of the tank that releases fuel to the injectors. I also changed all the oils, changed the spark plug and it still isn't starting. Do you think this that techron product would be a good idea? I'm still troubleshooting but at this point, I'm not sure if it's time to pull the injectors. I'm going to check for a spark also but I think that's OK. I'm just not sure what's keeping it from running.

[@Michael-yi4mc]

Just fill up at a Chevron station. The additives are in the fuel.

[@StringerNews1]

A not-well-kept secret of the gasoline retail industry is that the gas that every station in a given area gets comes from the same refinery. So no matter the brand of the station, the gas will have the very same basic package of additives as the most expensive brand. 50 years ago, some stations (Sunoco) added more things at the pump, but that's no longer economically feasible. Just buy the cheapest gas. If you need more than the base package, you could spend 20% extra for premium gas (which has more additives), or buy a bottle of gas treatment.

[@SeanBZA]

@@StringerNews1 Yes true, the tanker that comes to fill up is owned by the refinery, or a contractor that does deliveries, so all the stations on the route get exactly the same fuel, as there is generally only 3 internal tanks in the trailer, with each having the possibility to hold a different fuel, but all have a gate valve at the bottom of the tank, that leads to a common manifold and a meter, so that when filling the customer (the fuel station) is billed for the volume of fuel. Might be filled all with one grade of fuel, or a different one in each tank, but the area filling stations all get the same fuel delivered to them. By me that would be either 95 unleaded fuel, or regular diesel, or low sulphur diesel. Some tankers have 5 tanks, so also will have a small tank that is used for illuminating paraffin, which is often illegally blended with diesel as it is cheaper, as a lot of filling stations also sell it as a heating and cooking fuel, alongside LPG.

[@StringerNews1]

@@SeanBZA where I live, we have a similar issue with Diesel for farm use, that has no road tax charged, and Diesel for road vehicles. I didn't go into the differences between fuel grades, but with gasoline it's primarily the octane rating, the resistance to pinging. When we had leaded fuel, it was just a matter of adding more tetraethyl lead; the base fuel stock was otherwise the same. Nowadays TEL is banned, and MTBE, MMT etc. can't control octane by itself. So different fuel grades are blended differently as well. Of course each grade / type of fuel gets a separate container for trucking it. I can only imagine how difficult it is to send it in batches over a single pipeline! Since refineries are typically owned by the same oil companies that drill and sell the final products at retail, it would only follow that they could also sell their additive package as a retail product. I guess it doesn't hurt to add more additives, but IMO the best practice is to remember that gasoline is meant to be consumed while it's fresh.

[@SeanBZA]

@@StringerNews1 Pipelines it is easy, you have an inline density meter, that is measuring the density of the fluid. You change at the sending end, and the receiver simply waits till the density starts to change, and switches tanks. A few thousand litres of different fuel in a 100kl tank is barely going to be noticed at all. Refineries are owned by a oil company, but sell to all in the area irrespective of brand, and the base fuel they supply is the same. No fuel station puts in additives any more, just sells the same base stock in different grades only. They will sell it retail, as that way is a lot more profit, for what is basically a blend of paint thinner, turps substitute and some extra solvent, with a dye to colour it, in a fancy bottle.

I feel like Project Farm should be doing a treatment showdown.

Wow Kenny! You started in the 70's? I know you've seen a lot and especially working with Chrysler. I started in the late 80's and turn 55 Wednesday. Man we're old. 🤣🤣

Kenny do not put headers on it you're not going to lose but 5 to 10:00 at the most 5 to 10 horsepower that's all you going to lose

Hey Kenny been watching your videos for some times now definitely though I was subscribed but I was notified am now. What are your thoughts about the 5.3 litter V8s in the 2001 GMC Sierra 1500 4x2 models? Good motor bad motor whats your opinion? Thanks

[@Bellboy40]

My thoughts on the 5.3 liter engines in 2001 is that they are one of the best engines that GM made. That was just before they started putting "active fuel management (AFM) on them. That system was trouble.
