STP fuel products

[Hollow]

Well, a search brought up nada. Anyone have opinions about the STP line of fuel treatment and/or injector cleaner?

Kerosene.

So is it worthwhile to poor a few ounces of kerosene in the gas occasionally to keep things clean?

 

[Dr_No]

No. Their products are far from effective.
Redline, Gumout, and other products positively mentioned in this forum are all very good cleaners.

ford says all fuel additives are useless and maybe harmful...just use regular gas at a hi volume name brand dealer according to honda

 

[rszappa1]

Actually Fords are harmful...

Tried this before using Amsoil PI to fix a clogged injector in my Neon... The PI did it, and the STP didn't do squat.

Based on my experience I am distrustfull of STP products in general. As said before stick with a name brand (top tier if possible) fuel. If you feel the need to get additional cleaning then used a respected know-to-work system cleaner like Techron system cleaner, red line, Gumbout etc.

I noticed recently that the bottles of STP Gas Treatment (red bottle) at my local Albertson's supermarket have a cardboard attachment which claims it "reduces engine friction".

So now STP is an UCL?

With all that is being said about the STP additive from the store, what is the deal with it being added to Marathon fuel? Are they putting kerosene into the gasoline we buy from the gas station?

It has to be something more, doesn't it?

This is what their link says, about the 'store' compared to pump, it's like the 2nd or 3rd FAQ down

Now, is it good? Not sure. I have a Marathon by me too, as well as a BP and a Holiday. Not sure which one I want to use as my main facility. Soon, the BP I guess is being wiped out completely to have a full redo on the store done.
