I'm talkin about the stuff everyone adds for the fuel sending unit issues, cleaning injectors etc..
I'm assuming its the "Techron"..
No Chevrons here in Phila PA..
Anyone know if the new Shell V Power fuel has Techron, or is Techron exclusive to Chevron only?
I have been using Amoco (BP) almost exculsively, but the Texaco down the block just switched over to Shell, and I "heard" the Shell V Power is supposed to be a very good Top Tier fuel..
Not sure how it compares to Amoco (BP)...
Hopefully someone can say if Techron is only in Chevron or if its in another brand. I "think" Techron is Chevron's "branded name" for whatever generic chemical compound "Techron" is....
I could be wrong though..

Techron is made by Chevron. One guy on the forum worked at the Belle Chase, LA, place where they make it. Since Texaco merged with Chevron I assume Texaco is now putting it in their gasoline but I am not sure.
One thing I know is that it is scary stuff with regard to cleaning. I have used it since 2000 for cleaning engine parts in addition to putting in fuel occaisionally. Poured some in my 280zx throttle body to clean it out (recommended by a great mechanic back then) and it looked like it had been sandblasted in about 10 seconds.
Probably causes cancer in mice in California!
Great stuff.
Trust I answered your question.

Oh just put some fuel system cleaner in there! If you're having problems with your fuel level gauge or if you think your injectors are dirty or the like then any fuel system cleaner should serve you well. The populars for corvette people like us are techron and redline from what I've read. Good luck!
