Schaeffer's Neutra would also work well too.
Amsoil's PI made a huge difference in a somewhat neglected BMW I recently purchased. I also tried it in a 1967 vintage snowblower that hasn't run for many years. Prior to running it, you could pull the sparkplug and look through the hole and could only see black crud. After a few snow storms you can make out the individual valves and things look much cleaner. I use it in every tank now in the BMW.
Initially for the main clean up dose you add a full bottle, but then to maintain the cleanliness, and provide upper cylinder lubrication, you add one oz for every 10 gallons or so.
Patman, that may not be true. Amsoil markets a "quick shot" which is for the initial treatment at 6 ounces for every 10 gal. The company also has a 16 oz. bottle (and larger) available. If that is purchased, you need to add the correct amount for the initial treatment at .6 oz per gal. After that, a periodic maintenance treat rate would be .1 oz. per gal. The company claims the best results are obtained after 1000-1500 miles.
I bought the 16 oz bottle to try out and put 9 oz in my 17 gallon tank. Drove it down to empty and now use 1 oz per 10 gallons maintenance.quote:

Just didn't want anyone to dump 16 oz. of the stuff into a 10 gal. gas tank
They are the same product, just different size bottles. The quick shot is for people who don't want to figure out the ratios and just want to dump something in the tank and not continuously use the stuff. Unless you have a big gas tank, I wouldn't dump a whole 16 oz. bottle in for the initial cleanup.
