Gumout Regane help

[FlyingTexan]

Bit confused on these. Which has the most PEA and besides cleaning the system do they also act as a fuel conditioner?

What’s the difference between them? Some are much more expensive than others. I have a lot of Techron on my shelf but it only treats up to 12 gallons so you run through it a lot quicker than you’d think and even at autozone sales it’s still $12 or so a tank.

I have my 228k mile 2500HD that a few rounds BGR 44k and later on some Regane brought back from the dead. Mostly from sitting a lot. Could hold the foot to the floor and not get past 70mph. Now it runs great.

Want to buy a couple dozen of whatever works best to run in my boats (one 40 gal the other 140gal), atv, Grenadier and that truck again. Just cannot figure out which one is better or if it’s the same stuff with multiple labels.

I feel the multiple offerings of Regane to be mostly marketing and probably doesn't make much difference between them. Since you are a RedLine fan, why don't you skip these and go for the SI-1? Seems to have one of the highest concentrations of PEA and can treat a lot of fuel per bottle. And don't look at any of the cleaners as fuel conditioners per se, you should use a separate product for stabilization or UCL.

I’m not a homer for any specific company. Red Line makes a fantastic 5w30 that doesn’t mean $15 for a bottle of SI-1 is worth it when Regane is $6. I picked up another 6 bottles of BG 44k which I don’t believe has any PEA but it’s a fantastic product. BG44k found the motor craft version for $10/bottle.

So why are you worried about PEA content in Regane products, but pick a product that has very little if any? And I stated that you are a RedLine fan based on how excited you got about getting their oil from FCP Euro and thought you might want to try the brand's fuel system cleaner. SI-1 will effectively treat 100 gallons of fuel with a whole bottle for maintenance purposes with probably the highest concentration of PEA of any cleaner out there. But if you prefer to split miniscule hairs of difference with regard to PEA content in the various Regane products, or buy dozens of bottles to fill the boat tank at $6 a bottle, have at it. Or just forget the whole PEA content thing and go buy some more BG44K.

Regane High Mileage and Regane Complete have the most PEA as per SDS, I buy Complete at WM (USA) as Canadian versions are normally different in PEA content.

PEA Wars are discrete. I utilize REDLINE and double up on Techron myself. They make a difference while burning it.

Different chemistry all together but has proven results and was able to get it for $10 a can vs $25.

I 100% could tell a difference in my high mileage 2500HD. Sits a lot. The other day could BARELY do 70mph with the foot to the floor. Dumped in some Regane and after a tank it was back to hitting the limiter.

Awesome, must of been in need, maybe another one.
I use REDLINE every 5k miles. I like the way the car smooths out. I raise the RPMs to get chemicals burning. It keeps the engine smooth as can be for a Toyota with 174k miles. All original miles.all original parts NOTHING has failed yet.

Doesn’t the Regane also stop hair loss?

Fair enough.

I think you're thinking of the Joe Rogane product. (Word on the street is that he donates his hair to others for a hefty sum, which is why he has none...)

The Gumout product line is confusing, so I made myself a spreadsheet based on SDS info. I think they change the colors of the labels every now and then, or perhaps for retailers. Updated the prices from Walmart.com today... holy crap prices went up, and normal Techron now comes in a 10 oz bottle.

According to the SDSs, the Regane High Mileage and All-In-One Complete look the same. The Gumout Regane Complete, Regane High Mileage and All-In-One seem to have the highest concentrations of detergent.

If the SDS for Regane Complete is accurate, and you add up the maximum percentages for the solvents (30% + 13% + +30% + 1% = 74%), then the PEA content should be 26-30%.

I bought a case of Regane High Mileage when it was on sale last year. On Amazon, it's currently $30 for a six pack.

Regane High Mileage is my go to. Just burned 2x bottles back to back in my Northstar cruising NC - ME (about 1k miles) and she’s turning in 25 mpg. Engine feels and pulls great at 144k.

I always use a double dose of the ones who indicate its for a "5000 mile" use.

Avoid the "every tankful" products. They are much weaker.

Here is a great product.

My own recent experience with Techron Fuel Injector Cleaner.

I Retired two years ago and basically quit driving my 2000 Impala (3.8 with 100k miles).
My wipers were out of sync, stopping in the up position. Being the lazy slug that I am, I just started driving my 2002 Ranger, instead of the Impala.
I figured two years in moth balls was long enough. I replaced the whole wiper motor assembly (arms and all).
After sitting for two years the battery had to be recharged and the injectors were fairly sad. Higher rpm was fine but the car wouldn't maintain an idle without stopping.
I added 3 12oz bottles of Techron to the 3/4 full tank. Ran it long enough to get the Techron in the fuel system.
My method of cleaning (after system loaded with Techron), was to run the engine to 3k rpm, hold it there, then turn the key off to let it sit.
I repeated this 3k shutoff a couple of times. Allowing the car to sit for a day in between.
Now the 3.8 idles smooth as butter and the engine seems snappier than when I parked it two years earlier.
The 3/4 tank of 2 year old gas was 91 octant treated with Sta-Bil Marine formula.

All I can say is that this worked for me. Why did I use 3 bottles vs a single bottle?
I figured the injectors needed some super cleaning, based on how rough the idle was. 3 bottles seemed better than 1 or 2, in my estimation of the situation.
So far, the 2022 Everstart Maxx is holding up fine. But I keep my jump pack in the trunk, "just in case".

Don't know how it compares to Gumout, Techron, Redline, etc but I bought a gallon of this:
https://renewablelube.com/products/bio-plus-fuel-injector-cleaner

Mainly got it because that gallon (for $65) can treat 2, 000 gallons of fuel. I really like some of their other products, and I figure if this one is decent, there is a pretty good cost to use ratio.

Based on the safety data sheet:
https://renewablelube.com/assets/fi...Plus-Injector-Cleaner-Gas-Conditioner-SDS.pdf

It seems more like a maintenance/help keep clean formula, rather than an intensely cleaning one like Redline. Perfect for my bike since it is new. I'm considering getting some Redline or BG44K Platinum EPR for our cars, which are older (probably don't need the MOA since I've been either using HPL EC or VRP, + Renewable Lubricants 5w-30 oil in the cars).

@urman tested many and BG44k had the most PEA in his testing.

It's in the thread with fuel system cleaners. Gumout Multi system also was pretty good on a price/volume comparison.
