would you be talking about techrn that is used in the gas tank to clean injectors and helps keep the gas gauge keep working in the heads up. If so I just bought 6 bottles at wal mart for 4.59 each with a sticker on the bottle for 2.00 off at the register. comes out to 2.59 each, treats 15 gallons per bottle. If we are talking about the same black bottle with chevro on it.

Check the label. In many cases the smaller, less expensive bottles are a different product than the 20 oz. 12.99 bottles. The big bottles are the product you want for optimum maintenance of the fuel system and the gas gauge sender. I just don't remember the product name.

Just picked up 6 of the 20-oz bottles at Advance Auto... thanks for the tip. My fuel tank senders will be pleased.

I think something is different in the formulation - the Walmart site shows their 10oz bottle treats 15 gallons, but the 20-oz bottle only treats 20 gallons (1 ounce/gallon)?
