Default What Is BG 44 K?

Read an article by Pat Gross in the latest issue of the National Corvette Owners Association (NCOA) where Pat Gross says, "to prevent sulfur build-up on C5 fuel gauge's variable resistor by adding BG 44 K to the tank every 7,500 miles."

My question is, what is BG 44 K, and where can I purchase it?

I just purchased some on the web, but also found it cheaper at the dealer. Cost approx $18 a can. I put it in my Vette instead of the injection cleaning at the dealer. What a difference it made. Just in my second tank since I used it. Already I can tell the difference. Especially at takeoff. Fuel milage also coming up. I totally recommend it.

Some autoparts stores carry it. As do auto repair shops. Try independent autorepair facilities specializing in imports

I've been using it for years in all my cars. Never needed an injection clean or anything else fuel related. Very little carbon in the engine also.
