It's recommended to use a bottle of TECHRON (for 20 gallons) periodically. It's the same additive in CHEVRON fuel, but in higher concentration.
It'll help reduce the sulfur buildup that causes erratic fuel gauge readings. I use it about every six fill ups. COSTCO has something that is very similarly packaged, but I'm not certain if it's the same chemical makeup.
Also, use STA-BIL for winter storage.

Fixed my fuel guage problem, reading full all of the time. Carry a couple of bottles in the trunk to use about every other fill. We don't have any name brand fuel stations in my part of the woods.

I have always run "top tier" gasolines but was getting the dreaded, well maybe just confusing, "no fuel" on a full tank issue once in a while when the guage would act up. I now add a bottle of Techron periodically (no Chevron gas around here that I know of) and a can of Seafoam once in a while. No problems!

Thanks, also for winter storage do I
A.) Full tank (to prevent condensation) with Sta-Bil
B.) Empty tank (to prevent using old fuel)
When should I start the car in winter once a week, every two weeks, or once a month?
