I was suprised to see some deposits in a bottle of Redline Fuel System Cleaner. I had about 4 ounces in a bottle for a maintanence treatment, when I poured it into the tank yesturday, I noticed that there were some clear deposits on the bottom. The bottle was in my trunk and the temperatures were around 30F.
What could cause the deposits. Could it just be the cold? Can Redline SI-1 be used in the cold if deposits are caused by cold weather?
 
I haven't called Redline, but I added some more SI-1 to the bottle for my next shot and also added Seafoam, the Seafoam cleaned up the deposit on the bottom immidiately!
I think that it wouldn't be a problem once mixed with gasoline.
 
I used to use SI-1 a lot. The deposits would form in a bottle that had been sitting for a while or had been exposed to warm temperatures in a vehicle in summer. Years ago I e-mailed Red Line about it, and though I forget the full response, the gist of it was that the separation is harmless and I should shake the bottle before pouring the additive in the fuel tank.

Amsoil's fuel additive smells somewhat like Red Line's and possibly has some similar formulation. I wonder if separation is an issue with Amsoil's. Should note that I liked both fuel additives.
