Default Preferred Gas cleaner
Hello,
Is fuel cleaner recommended for our vehicles? If so, what brand do you use and how often do you treat?
Thanks,
St. Clair

V Power is what Shell calls their Premium fuel.

I agree, no need to use any fuel system cleaners etc.

If one uses Shell V power premium, LOL!. Cleaner can clog up catalytic converter if used too much.
Cat. converter is not cheap.

I use Techron or seafoam from time to time although it's not necessary. I try to use the V power most times or just depends if i feel like stopping on my way home from work
