BTW, I checked Costco today. They have Chevron 'Pro Gard" "WITH' Techron. Didn't seem like the same product you all have discussed.
Pretty sure that "Pro Guard" is exactly the same stuff

I think Pro Guard and Injector cleaner have Techron in them but Techron Concentrate stands by itself as all Techron...


This is fuel system cleaner WITH Techron,meaning it has some techron in it...

This is Pro Guard fuel injector cleaner w/ Techron...meaning it has some techron in it...

This is Techron Concentrate plus...meaning it has only Techron in it...


Techron concentrate plus is the only one that is all Techron...
Hope this clear up things

Its ok Chuck...I said it in a PRIVATE message and I meant that I didn't drink Bud.


I thought you said you didn't drink, BUD. Therefore that leads to the fact we both have the beginning of a beer friendship based on a dislike of Bud!?

no no Chuck...never wait till almost empty...thats bad for the fuel pump to let gas run to almost empty...add it anytime because it gets continually circulated...or you can add it like I do when fuel gauge reads half

93? What's that? Only 92 here in Orygun.
Anyway, my supercharged Cobalt SS has similar fuel gauge issues, and I don't have Chevron close to me either. So i'm going to try this in that car as well.
I guess I'll start looking for a Chevron station to use as well.
The Vette is apart for the winter, but that will get it as well in the spring.
