I like to run a tank of b-12, then a tank of techron just before an oil change. I'd rather change oil right after running solvents and cleaners.
Use every third fill up -- throw your money at them why dont you!!! I use Techron Complete Fuel System Cleaner every 3000 miles in all my vehicles and am very content on how they all run. Been doing this method for years and years. Buddy of mine has an old 4.8L in his Chevy truck with 130,xxx miles on it. Ran the 20 ounce bottle two weeks ago and he says he thinks it idles smoother now. I dont know, I dont drive the truck be he does almost daily. Bang for the buck -- Techron ALL DAY!!!!I really like the B-12 Chemtool Fuel Injector Cleaner - Berryman’s product is solvent based whereas most other cleaners are detergent based. - https://bit.ly/33cbdFN
E-Mail date: 7/17/2019 - Our recommendation for regular maintenance of your fuel system is one can of B-12 Chemtool Fuel Injector Cleaner (part #0116) every third fill up. Best to add when the tank is empty, and use a funnel to avoid spilling on paint (you most likely have a capless tank anyway). Here is a link to the product if you need more info: https://www.berrymanproducts.com/?s=0116
Let us know if you have any further questions.

I throw it in after an oil change on a nearly empty tank. No reason but for remembering to do it.
There used to be a recommendation for that, but now I don't see anything. I could just be some old research that may be outdated.It's always been my understanding that Techron (and similar products) should be used before an oil change as there's a chance the additive can contaminate the oil to some degree. True? False? Thoughts on the subject.

I put a bottle of GUMOUT when filling up prior to the trip.The Gumout All in One I just used does recommend using it at time of oil change.
I always try to use fuel additives when the car will sit more often so the treated gas has more time in the fuel system. Anyone have any insight into how heat or extra time might affect cleaning?I don't bother with fuel additives in my gas car.
The diesel gets 1oz per 3 gallons of Stanadyne at every fill.
I would use the additive during the trip. The engine will be nice and hot.
