Quick Techron Question
I'm likely picking up my Vette later today (more details & pics to come later). It will be delivered with a full tank of gas, but I don't know where they filled it up.
I want to throw a proactive bottle of Techron in the tank (hey, let's start this relationship out on a good foot...right?). However, when I've used it in the past, it's said to pour the bottle into a nearly empty tank and then fill it up. Would there be any reason that I shouldn't add it to a full tank?

It should mix with you just driving around, but might not mix as well as starting with a nearly empty tank. Won't hurt anything though.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll hold off until 1/2 tank and treat it then. By the way...never thought I'd have permagrin just sitting in the showroom filling out docs. Haven't stored a car in my garage in 5 yrs, but spent the afternoon clearing space for my new baby!!!

Two tanks.
Draws from the right before the left.
So at 1/2 tank I'd think you are only treating one tank.
Add at 1/2 tank and fill up...that's my vote.
(The Techron is an attempt to mainly alleviate the fuel gage sender sulfur builder up ..yes?)
