Lucas oil fuel treatment for me.
Compare to Seafoam.

Another vote for Seafoam here. I put it in the gas tank every few thousand miles because I occasionally have to purchase "generic gas" when traveling in the middle of nowhere. It solves a fuel level indicator problem quickly. I sucked it into the engine once but did not get the massive smoke cloud so many people talk about. I have a hard time believing that my engine was just too clean at 85K miles.

You should run the tank down and repeat the next fillup. Then do it periodically (every few months).

Dumped in a can of Techron when I first bought my car 4 months ago. With all the rave reviews of Sea Foam, went out and bought a can at Pep Boys yesterday and dumped it in the car AND the Harley. Sounds like good stuff.

This site shows a certified ASTM test comparison of different oil additives. Lucas at the bottom.

This isn't for fuel additives but I would guess lucas fuel additives are not much better.
