do you put additives in your gas tank?

[Lifer]

stuff like gas treatment, carb/FI cleaner, octane booster?

 

[notfred]

No.

I pee in it sometimes when i stop on the side of the road but then i realize that i stoped right in the middle of a speed trap and have like 12 officers in 6 interceptors staring at my weenie.


They never say anything.

Sugar.

 

[Goosemaster]

Honestly, the only additives i would use would be for oil.

For the gass tank maybe a strong detergent, but good gas has everything it needs already

 

[Aquaman]

Only Chevron Techroline that come in the gas

All the additives your oil and gas need are already in them, don't waste your money.

The only additive I've ever used was a gallon of racing gas now and then

No... but my dad insists that he puts them in all the cars. His money... so whatever.

I put gas-line antifreeze during the winter months up here in Canada

 

[bootymac]

Sugar and spice, and everything nice! And some chemical X too

 

[Freejack2]

Rocket fuel?

Chopped garlic, some cheese, and BAM SUCKA!

I've put octane booster in before, helps out when you fill your tank with the incorrect octane level gas.

No. Although fuel-additives are better than oil additives. You should never add anything to your oil.

As others have pointed out, the oil companys spend R&D $$ on the formulations of their oil. If you add something else, there's no telling what it could do.

Octane booster, fuel injector cleaner, dry-gas and fuel stabilizer are all OK, as long as you really need them.

Fuel Injector cleaner occasionally. It DOES make a difference.

You should never add anything to your oil. Seriously. They spend a LOT of money on R&D for the formulations of their oil.. It's not just oil. There are tons of additives..

Detergency
Anti-foam
Viscosity Index improvers
Anti rust/corrosion
Friction modifier additives
TBN/TAN modifiers..

and probably a lot more. When you add something to your oil, you have no idea how those chemicals will effect your oil as a whole. Chances are, it's going to do more harm than good.

NEVER put PTFE(teflon) into your engine.

I put that in once a year..

 

[Thegonagle]

I haven't for years. I don't believe that it does anything.

 

[flyfish]

I put in a bottle of Chevron Techron about every 30K.

 

[Ime]

I just got a new car last month. Haven't even changed the oil for the first time yet.

 

[her209]

I forgot to mention, I put WMD in there too.
