I am sure one of the fine members from the forum would be willing to ship you some as long as we can do so legally. I will check and see if UPS or Fed Ex will ship that to England.

Does anyone know if one of those companies would ship it to England since its a flammable liquid? I know the postal service won't do it.

After buying a G35 for a daily driver, I found out that Corvettes are not the only cars out there plagued with the gas gauge problem. Yep, even the DD has to get a fair dose of the magic fluid.

I believe that Chevron gas has Techron already added...and it is a top tier gas. Unless you have the float problem, why add it ???
