Is Techron a marketing gimick or is it for real?
How would you know for sure that it's not a scam by the oil co.?
Thanks

I use it evry other tank with shell 93 fuel. When i had fuel gauge issues it was recomended it seemed to cure the issue. not a scam for the fuel gauge. I stock up when its buy one get one free

Do a search here on the forum..........I think you will find many who feel it does a good job keeping things in the fuel system clean.

GM & Fords Dealerships use it prior to working on a fuel injection problem, as per they are told to by Corporate ( or used to a few years ago ) .... really works ...


I use it in everything ....
John Deere
Harley
Vette
Boat
Truck

Yep, pure scam! If you use it, you'll never be a true CF member cuz you won't have the dreaded gas gauge problem.

And NEVER use Seafoam!

When I purchased my '99 FRC, I picked it up in Indianapolis and drove it back to Arizona.

The first place I stopped (besides a gas station) was an autoparts store in IN and bought some of the Techron additive. I just figured it can't hurt.

The best mileage on the return trip was 34.4 mph, so I don't know if that helped, but have heard positive comments from many members, I continue to use it. Sooooooooooo. Good luck.

i use either techron or seafoam.

i like them both for different reasons.

It cured my fuel gauge problem. 2.5 years later it hasn't come back. I like to use it every few months in all my cars.

It's not only good stuff that works, it's been used for the last twenty years with excellant results?

I've gone for a few fills without buying Chevron gas and my fuel gauge starts acting up. A tank of 94 octane Chevron with Techron puts it right again.

IMO, it's not a gimmick - it helps keep the sulfur deposits off the fuel sending units. I plan to keep using it.

Blew by you

Guess i'm the black sheep! i tried it 3 times in 3 seperate tanks of fuel and the gauge is still bad it did NOTHING. Wish i could say different, it sucks when you stop and have fuel in the car, then get back in to see the gauge on E!.

Mr.Bill

Are you for real?

I have been using it for years and have never has any issues with my WS6 or my C5, Injectors are as clean as day 1. I am a believer..

I guess I'm a non-believer and feel pretty cynical about marketing gunk.

Use it in wife's car, my truck, for years, I think the date on my Chevron gas card is 1987. A friend laughed the other day when I told him I put half a bottle in my Cub Cadet Zero.....

Saturday,(a couple days after I posted how Everything on my Vette was working as it should) My gas gauge started sticking on "full",and I knew I had between 3/4 and 1/2 a tank.
Sunday,I dumped a jug of Techron in,went for a short drive to slosh things around a bit,then when I started it Monday,it was still stuck on full,but by the time I got to work,it was reading correctly.
Today,it's working fine.
MAYBE it would have "cured" itself without the Techron,but that's not a very common occurance,according to many posts on the forum.
So,I spent $12,and 72 hours later, my gas gauge works again.
That's enough proof for me
