Gas Treatment

[Suprawill1]

Hey All,
Is it ok to use additives to the fuel for cleaning injectors in these STs? I was looking at STP Gas treatment but open to corrective insight.
Thanks!

I don't think an occasional in-the-tank cleaner will do you any harm. That said, Top Tier fuels (not to be confused with octane rating) contain all the cleaners you should need. Chevron, for instance, the brand behind Techron, includes it in their fuel. Others use or generic version or its equivalent. Buy a Top Tier fuel and you should be good to go. There are a lot of good videos on this. This is a simple one.

Won’t hurt anything, but won’t help anything either as long as your using Top Tier fuel.

Thanks for the hits peeps! I had been using Crown because of its competitive pricing but I know it's not a top tier fuel. That's why I was looking at an additive. It's cheaper than Shell and other top tiers, to use a less expensive fuel and add the detergent.
I will however, consider Costco and check their prices.
I've seen Shell dispense at almost dollar more per gallon than what I'm purchasing. Even with the Giant points discount, it is still ridiculously more expensive.
