top 3 oil additives

[Tracker]

I have always said TECHRON is the best....ALCOA you make the call.....techron is added to all airplane fuel just an FYI...the other 2 not bad but I don't use sea foam anymore....didn't like cleaning the green gunk outta carbs ever year...this guy is really good...enjoy

I never once had to clean any carb, or had to clean any green gunk out of a carb, if the fuel was treated with Seafoam as recommended. Stabil yes, Seafoam no green gunk. Have used Star-Tron, and K-100, also with excellent results.

in my industry seafoam was referred to mechanic in a can and over the years has gone through formulation changes, used to be highly recommended my manufacturers and that is no longer true, I agree with tracker....Techron, and with old abe...... star-tron. not to talk bad about companies or products but as probably 80% of my repair work is fuel related and I have seen end results of additives, with todays fuels the way they are, reformulated, ethanol be sure you are using an additive that contains metal deactivators in it so when those green crystals form in the fuel system and penetrate the protective coating ushering in corrosion, metal deactivators prevent this from happening causing a never ending battle with fuel system problems. Another good additive is the briggs and Stratton fuel additive and a little goes a long way, only 1/2 ounce to 2 1/2 gallons. One other thing to remember when using these additives is if 1/2 ounce is good.... an ounce has to be better is completely the opposite. So my three favorites... Techron.... Star-Tron... and Briggs and Stratton fuel additives.

My choices for E-blend gasoline would be K-100, with octane boost for "bad gas", or "questionable gas" situations. Star-Tron for non questionable E-gas. Seafoam is a very good non E-gas additive, for both cleaning, and stabilizing. Stabil is a very poor product in my view, no matter what formula. I am not knocking Techron. Techron is not a stabilizer as I know of, but a very good cleaner. K-100, and Star-Tron are very good cleaners, and stabilizers. Stabilizing E-gas, to prevent "phase separation", is critical. K-100 is also a octane booster. Sea-Foam is the same as it has always been, but our fuels of today have changed very much. So Sea-Foam applications are not as broad as once was the case. I believe the Briggs and Stratton to be a very good additive also, but I have not used it. Nor have I used Marvel as a fuel treatment.
