Which Techron?
I'm having the well documented "Service Fuel System" issue. I'm going to try to add Techron since about half the time I do not use Top Tier gasoline.
I noticed there are two different Techron products. One labeled "Fuel Injector Cleaner" and the other "Complete Fuel System Cleaner".
There is a noticeable price difference between the two. Any recommendations please?

This continued until the Check Engine Light came on. After burning off about 1/4 tank and about a half dozen starts and stops the gauge self corrected. Then after a few more starts and stops the Check Engine Light went away. I was getting the infamous P2068 code. I do not use Top Tier gas about half the time due to my location
So after reading this forum I decided to try Techron, Complete Fuel System. I ran one 12 oz bottle twice with two consecutive fill ups. The situation has improved as a result.
Now when I fill up the gas gauge is crazy for only about 15 miles and then self corrects even if I do not turn the car off. It self corrects so quickly (I'm guessing) that the CEL never illuminates.
So I want to run a few more bottles to see if I can make the issue completely go away. I noticed that the Fuel Injector Cleaner product is far less expensive then the Complete product.
However based on the comments already made in this thread I guess I'll bite the bullet.

"GM Fuel System Treatment Plus" is said to be re-branded Techron, bottle has a Chevron symbol on the bottom.
Probably more expensive, but easier to find sometimes.

Same same stuff. Just look for Concentrate Plus on the front label in smaller letters.
10 oz will treat 15 gall so get more.
Wally world had it for $5 no long ago.
Costco $20 for 6-pack I heard
Amazon on the cheap as well.
follow directions on back

The $20 product at Costco is a 6 - pack of Fuel Injector Cleaner, not Concentrate Plus. That's why I started this thread. I made the purchase at Costco and then realized I bought Fuel Injector Cleaner, not Concentrate Plus.
