STP Gas Treatment doesn't have much detergency to it...it may have been good in the "old days" of 100% gasoline, but these days with the dry corn fuel they are given us, what the fuel really needs is "lubrication" - Ethanol in itself is actually a pretty good "injection cleaner" in itself believe it or not
It's very high octane, but they have to "buffer it" to meet the AKI grades at the pump with "real" gasoline and other additives...so that that, I'd say MMO or TCW-3 would be your best bet....Seafoam isn't all that bad either...but some scoff at it in the fuel, since it does contain Isopropnaol, which is basically 100% Rubbing Alcohol...but yes, it still does have it's uses today in the crankcase, oil, and lesser extent in the fuel, since it does have lubrication properties to it....

Safe for your fuel tank? Yes indeed....or it wouldn't be on the shelves as a Fuel System Cleaner.....now if you're asking safe for your paint? LOL, no it's not
But no, I don't see too many people with additive stains down their fuel door area
Just becareful with it, you want to "go light" if possible.....if you don;t have at least a 15 gallon tank (a lot of these new fuel efficient cars only got 9-11 gallon tanks....) I'd only add half a bottle or so....then at your next fill up, add the remainder.

My First Cup o Coffee doesn't work that quick.
Anymore info/updates?
Thanks, Jim
10-12 miles may not be that "laughable
I had Chevron Techron Concentrate "trip" a CEL almost a mile or so down the road after adding it to the fuel tank
And no, the gas cap was not loose or damaged
The next morning when I did the "italian tune up" on the highway from the acceleration lane to merge into traffic the CEL Went out
My guess, carbon must have passed through the o2 sensor?
