Good stuff! I’ve done two of the smaller bottles….but have the 7/8th full gauge issue. I think best to add right over 1/2 tank where both tank sensors get the cleaning action. Works for me. 👍🏻
If no gauge issue, just add one at 1/4 or less than 1/2 and fill tank sometime after.

There are a bazillion Techron threads on this forum. Guys use it to try and fix the know fuel sender issue. I put in a 20oz bottle a couple of times a year. Can't hurt...

What about hibernation when many of us have to garage our cars and prefer not to use them in the winter/salt season ? Product mentioned is excellent for fuel injectors and pump lubrication but what are you guys using for winter hibernation,many options what's best ?

For storage use Sta-Bil and non ethanol fuel if it is available in your area.

one thing that is also important for winter storage in addition to fuel additive, is to fill up the tank and not leave a bunch of space where air/moisture can collect in the winter. Always amazes me how much water is in the air in winter. I have to check my catch can every two tanks of gas in the winter cause I collect so much moisture over the warmer months.

One thing I did read about additives (and I do use Techron) is that they eventually wind up in your oil - so you shouldn't use them too frequently...
From the Chevron Techron website: "Techron® Concentrate Plus, Complete Fuel System Cleaner, is designed for gasoline carbureted or fuel injected spark ignition engines. To keep the entire fuel system clean, use Techron Concentrate Plus, Complete Fuel System Cleaner, every 3,000 miles (4,800 km) or at scheduled oil change intervals, not to exceed twice per oil change."
