Running GUMOUT improved idle dramatically!!!

[THORROMIG]

Friends 05 Dodge Dakota has a rough idle here lately. I picked up a large bottle/cant remember how many ounces of the Gumout All in One cleaner. After 2 tanks the truck is purring again. He gets his gas at a Chevron down the street that sees heavy volume soo im pretty much ruling out a bad batch of gas. Truck has alittle over 62thousand miles on it. Gonna do a plug change on Friday for him also due to the fact, as tight as he is im sure there the orginals but I could be wrong. He bought the truck used with alittle over 33thousand miles.

Every 20K miles I use a fuel system cleaner to keep my engine purring like a kitten.

 

[LeakySeals]

Where did you get the bottle?

 

[THORROMIG]

Got the bottle from Walmart but a different one than I normally use.

 

[LeakySeals]

Yeah thats the one I bought. Looking at one now. Its 10oz good for 35 gallons. I think Walmart may get exclusives for a more concentrated dose in smaller bottles. Walmart also sells a tiny 10oz bottle of techron concentrate plus that cant be found anywhere else.

Chevron has some of the best gas out there, don't they? Surprised to hear it was necessary.

O'rielly just had these on sale also for $6.99, still higher than Wally's regular price I believe. Saw one at Target for $6.5x recently. The Regane all-in-one comes in a larger size for some reason. Great for two tanks and best $/oz usually for PEA off the shelf.

Try Big Lots for the unconcentrated version that still treats 35 gallons.

I picked up a few for $4 each. Wish I had gotten more as I see the benefit of running this yearly and cannot always get top tier gas without paying a significant premium.

Note that Mercedes and some others only recommend Techron. It must be because they don't believe you require the UCL. So once my stash is used, I will most likely stock up on Techron when it goes on sale.

 

[THORROMIG]

I also like the Techron Concentrate plus but my Walmart never seems to have it anymore or someone/someones snags the whole stash when its put on the shelf. I can see why but cant stand greedy people.

I use a bottle of Regane or Techron in our vehicles at every oil change which is typically 6000 - 7500 miles. Probably more than necessary, but keeps the fuel systems running well.

 

[LeakySeals]

The Gumout AIO has something the techron concentrate plus doesn't have. A UCL/friction reducer. Maybe that was it. Reading an article written by Gumout about the products containing PEA they write.. "Gumout has a few items in their portfolio including Regane, High Mileage Regane and All in One Complete Fuel treatments." Interesting that the claimed potency/effectiveness of the products are listed in the same order below:

Going to Walmart to see what the "Gumout Regane High Mileage Fuel System Cleaner" costs. Its potency is ranked 2nd to the AIO minus the UCL/friction reducer so it should be cheaper.

I have also had amazing results using Gumout with Regain All in one - this is now my go to fuel additive>

 

[barlowc]

So which is the better product? Gumout® All-In-One®
Fuel System Cleaner or Gumout® Regane® Complete Fuel System Cleaner?

+1....and at $4 a bottle at Big Lots (good for 35 gallons).... I can use it twice....which makes it a bargain as well.

Interesting... thanks! I had thought that Regane was their top product and have been using it since I "upgraded" from the Chevron Pro-Gard w/ Techron stuff I previously used. While I still have 3 bottles of Regane in the garage cabinet, maybe I'll get some All-In-One instead.

 

[Mr Nice]

I bought a ton Of Redline Injector Cleaner on clearance. When I use it I need to shake the bottle cause its 'gells up' when stored for a long time.

the 'before' & 'after' pictures have been relabeled with
'DIRTY & CLEAN'

How sad... that you need a description to tell you which is the dirty picture, and which is the clean picture

Would there be any benefit to doubling the dose for a 16 -17 gallon tank capacity, or would it just be wasted and one would be better off using 2 consecutive 10oz doses?

 

[badtlc]

2 consecutive treatments is best IMO. it provides a longer period of time for the stuff to soak into deposits and loosen them.
