If that is the fuel treatment plus stuff, I just got two bottles of it for the gas gauge problem. Its supposed to coat the sending elements on the float to prevent sulpher fouling. Techron was working sometime but I'm going to try this stuff too. Won't know until spring though as the car is hibernating for the winter.

I have stopped trying all the additives to make the fuel gauge work. Since ownership in 2014 of my '04, I put is a large can of Techron at every other fill up (probably gallons) with Shell gas trying not to have a gauge problem but it started about a year ago. Now my fuel gauge goes crazy every time I fill up going to empty then i/2 then back to empty. But after about 10 miles it registers correctly until the next fill up. My SWAG the problem is with the BCM Computer not the sensors. JMHO. Something I will just live with on this 18 year old car.

There was a GM ECU fix issued for the early cars with their "crash to zero" gas gauge problem. Had that done way back when and have never had a gas gauge issue since. I throw in a bottle of Techron occasionally, maybe once a year, just because I don't put the miles on the way I used to. Makes me feel better, though whether it does any good or not, I do not know.

Believe it or not, there actually IS a Chev dealer in Duluth MN. And across the bridge in Superior WI too. Don't know about Duluth GA.
