Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hey, anybody have an opinion on using techron? I was wondering if it may be a good first step to fix a intermittent rough idle, before going into costly repairs...

POST 2Original post

Techron is a good fuel system cleaner IMO. I don't think you are going to find much bad or ugly other than cost. However I started using Jectron and Ventil Sauber Valve Clean on my 993 and have never switched back. I usually run a bottle of each through the system just prior to doing an oil change. Here is a link where I get it (no afiliation, yada, yada, yada). This reminds me that I need to order some. https://www.olyonline.com/Lubromoly.asp

POST 3Original post

Techron works great, it saved me after I had some bad gas once. Just buy it directly from the Chevron station, not very expensive at all. Keep using Chevron fuel with Techron for a month or so, it should help.

POST 4Original post

Another product worth looking at : BG 44K Isn't techron added to Chevron gas?

POST 5Original post

Here is a link to some Techron info: http://www.chevron.com/products/prod...t/fueladd.shtm

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks, I could not find the lubromoly nor the BG 44k products at local auto store, but I did find techron, so I will try it next fillup. Thanks for the help, The web links were helpful!!

POST 7Original post

Pep Boys even carries it - I've used it in my other vehicles. Techron advises to add one container per tankful when the tank is near empty. Most, but not all fuels have detergent additives, although I believe virtually all premium fuels do. I still use it. Phil
