drag flation is the cause of this .
Yes inflation is reason but all major pea brands lower pea and just make water down pea cleaner now it feels we will better of using top tier gas and may be 1 or 2 year fuel system cleaner .
Just use a quality PEA based cleaner before OCI. Even conservatively once twice a year would be okay. You can read the directions as some have a min max dosage suggestion and go with a lower more potent dosage.
Is Techron Concentrate Plus better or the same as the Complete Fuel System Cleaner? Or there are better alternatives?
The SDS shows they are the same product.
Thank you, is this worth it, or just fill up at top-tier stations?
It worth maybe 1 before oil change but if fill up 60% or more top tier full then you not get any major benefits of Techron chevron.
Thank you. Is Shell Premium a suitable occasional-use type of fuel to clean engines as it has more additives? Scotty Kilner mentioned it. My car calls for regular fuel.
if your car calls for regular fuel, use regular fuel but try to find someplace that is Top Tier listed...if you'd like, try an occasional bottle of Techron following the directions for use...

Thank you for the advice. Fred Meyer is the closest, but I will try finding top-tier stations some ways away. There are 2 versions, a 12oz and 20 oz, is it safe to use 20oz or just 12oz?
Are 76 and Arco considred top tier?
Also, what about some stationary cars that don't get driven, how to keep their "internals" clean?
last I checked, Chevron recommends 1 ounce to 1 gallon ratio...if you go above that (say 20 ounces in a 19 gallon gas tank) I'm sure you'd still be fine...I've doubled the dose when using it in a vehicle where I don't know it's prior history...

In Belgium version Techron there was less PEA than in the USA. So now seems they are the same. Anyway Techron is one of the most powerful cleaner (BG 44K for gas and BG 245 for diesel as well)
If a car never drives, it doesn't get carbon buildup, so it doesn't need PEA as much. If the gas gets stale b12 chemtool is a better fuel system cleaner, while PEA based cleaners will do more for the valves and cylinders.
