In a post by TonyMazz a while back, he quoted something from GM saying:
"Harmful Ideas That May Damage Your Vehicle and Increase Emissions
One more recent poor idea to improve fuel economy that should not be attempted is to blend either kerosene or diesel fuel into gasoline. Why? Both kerosene and diesel fuel are distillate fuels meant for use in compression ignition engines, not spark ignition engines. They have very low octane and since they are heavier (higher density) than gasoline, they will cause heavy engine deposits and degradation of engine oil."
Well, I use valvoline maxlife fule system cleaner, and have do so for quite sometime. Has this use been harming my 2002 GM Sonoma? I thought I was doing good by cleaning it out and the maxlife fuel cleaner is mainly kerosene.
Thanks.
