Is this the right TECHRON?

[Da Game]

I picked this up a couple of days ago.
PRO-GARD, Fuel Injector Cleaner with TECHRON! It's in a black bottle and also have Cheron insigna with name on the bottle.

Is it the good stuff or the watered down consumer grade?

Do not use that garbage, it's the watered down stuff. Gotta get straight Techron, widely available at any Chevron.

No...this is what you seek:

I recommend the 20oz bottle for $9-10

I've used the smaller bottle (around 12 oz). It works fine underneath a half-tank of gas (around 10 gallons).

The big bottle treats up to 20 gallons, the small bottle treats up to 12 gallons. I have a 22 gallon tank. I use two small bottles which should put me more on the concentrated side rather than the lean side. Last time I checked price the unit cost per oz was about the same. AA had a BOGO sale on the small bottles earlier this year so I haven't needed to buy any recently!

I hate it when I miss BOGO's.

There was a $4.00 rebate (limit of two) on this product. Rebate was on their web site and is still good until the end of this month, as I recall.

Using double strength (i.e. 20 oz. two bottles for a 20+ gallon tank) is the "only way to go" per my indy Mercedes mechanic: "TECHRON is the ONLY one over the counter that really works!"

Cheers!

Gumout Regane 12oz treats "up to 21gal" for a comparable product. Has PEA, just like Techron. (as do Redline SI-1 and Amsoil PI)

Chevron Techron has similar bottles, with various strengths and concentrations.
Get their most expensive one - that says valve cleaner on it.
The fuel injector cleaner is less potent, but the same basic stuff.
