Default Techron

Hey guys - I had the fuel system problem recently where my guage was acting funny, so I put in some Techron additive and now back to normal.

A couple of questions that I had...

1 - Should I use the in every tank? If no, how often shoudl I use it?
and
2 - Does anyone know where I can buy in bulk so its cheaper? I looked at Sams Club, BJ's, and Costco - no dice.

Thanks!!!

I do 2 large bottles every six months. I started using it 3 years ago when I got the fuel gauge to "E" problem. Never had it since.

Curious...do you think just burning Chevron gas will do the trick? LT

Just had the "E" problem this week for the 1st time. Bought 2 bottles of Techron at WalMart and dropped the 1st one in last night. We'll see...

My gas guage drops to 'E' almost every tank, techron will not solve my problem since it is related to the P1432 Fuel Level Sensor 2 Low Voltage code.

Yes, if Chevron gas is available in his area. It's not available here in Indianapolis.
