Default TEchron fuel cleaner!!!!!!!! One Cent

HEy everyone I just ran across something and I wanted to pass it on to everyone else. Check your local autozone for the Techron fuel cleaner, that says treats 20 gallons. I went in to pick some up and when the guy behind the counter rang it up, it was a penny. so i got the rest 3 bottles. he said that alot of stuff is discontinued and sold that way. the bottle that says 12 gallons is reg price at 5.49. Hopefully there are some still out there. Bryan sorry screwed up on the gallon part. the last numbers of the sku is 65740a

The Guy behind the counter says that they get emails about what is marked down to that price. and that most of it is left in the stock room for them to split up. that evidently this wasn't caught. Just wanted to pass on incase someone else wanted to try and find it in theirs.

You can just wait till your fuel sender craps out then you might reconsider.

Edit...sorry I misinterpted your response, I now see it was meant as a joke to another post.

Does that stuff work? I have 4 bottles of it that I bought from Costco a while ago, when I had my 99 SS... but I hear that it gets into your oil, and you should only use it right before an oil change? is that right?

Many people swear by that stuff. In many cases it has cured the fuel sender/gas gauge problem. I use it as a preventive measure usually once every 3000 miles, so far no problems.

If I go more than three tanks full without techron, the fuel senders remind me.
