I am just wondering if anyone runs any additives such as fuel or oil stabilizers, fuel system cleaners, fuel treatment, octane booster, or any other product out there haha.

 

I use stabilizer when storing the car for the winter.
Other than that, no.
But I do keep a small bottle of octane boost in the frunk in case I'm out in the boonies and the local station doesn't have super. (replace the bottle every year and use it in the lawn mower)

 

Not I. Nothing.

 

Waterwetter from Redline is good stuff.

 

I use Stabil Ethanol treatment in the gas, I've read some negative articles about ethanol so I figure, cant hurt. Boat owners use the stuff as well.

 

I do not use any of that crap, with the exception of a Stabalizer I have heard nothing but bad things about them.

In the winter when I do not drive much one tank lasts almost all winter so I do not drive hard when the gas is a few months old until the tank is almost empty, then I fill it up and off I go.

 

Would not use Waterwetter ever. In my MC racing days, guys with liquid cooled bikes, use to run this with just water in their bikes. (No antifreeze/coolant allowed on the track).The results were bad for the water pumps for some reason. Bearing problems. So they put it in for the race and immediately drained it out after practice and race. I do however use Stabil Ethanol treatment.
Stick to what the factory recommends and you probably won't go wrong.

 

Interesting...if the "no coolant" rule was to keep the slippery stuff off the track I don't understand why they would allow use of Waterwetter - it's slippery too.

 

Don't know what the reason was but the AMA Racing were pretty strict at tech. Now this was the 80's till mid 90's don't know what they are doing now.

 

"AMA Superbike - e. Coolant must not contain ethylene glycol." The guys were using something called Engine Ice but that has also been banned. Don't get it.
Just checked apparently this is still in affect. Isn't oil also slippery?

 

Right on thanks for all the info/opinions

 

I put Techron injector cleaner in every quarter with a full tank.

 

I try to find non ethanol fuel (and did) and I also run Amsoil octane booster. It rated 3rd behind to Australian boosters that are not as readily available. It is only $8 per bottle and I've had no issues running it in every tank. It was rated to increase octane by 2.5 full points. So, with 92 premium plus 2.5, I'm sitting around 94.5 which allows for advanced timing and more power. Try it, you'll like it.

 

Water wetter in the correct quantity would not make anything slippery if released. The point of water wetter is to break down air pockets within the system to reduce hot spots; therefore, making the cooling system more efficient. Great stuff for motorcycles and cars without sealed systems.

 

Guys-- be careful with Water Wetter. I did research on it and found out that the way it provides better cooling is by letting the water get "closer" to the radiator. Antifreeze chemically keeps the water away from the metal in your cooling system- so it can't rust. Water wetter allows the water to contact the metal better-- increasing heat transfer-- but rusting more too. Classic car guys found this out when, to compensate for old cooling systems, used it-- and found significant rust after a week or so. Please research it before you use it!!! My .02....
