    I just bought my Tundra a couple months ago. It has 127k on it. I'm thinking spark plugs soon. I was also thinking of running some Chevron Techron fuel injector cleaner through it. I bought the 2-20 oz bottles thinking my truck has a 38 gallon tank. Anyone else ever use this?

    Seafoam works great at every oil change.

    The only reason I bought the Techron is because the dealer recommended it to me. I'll try the Seafoam next time. Spark plugs next then a radiator flush and fill. Thank you for the input. I really appreciate it.

    I have used a bottle of Lucas fuel treatment and injector cleaner every oil change for pretty much every vehicle I've own.

    Swap in new plugs first. 2 cans of BG’s 44K in the tank and 1 can SeaFoam p/n SS14 through the intake. Then go drive the shit out of it. You’ll thank me later. :)

    Seafoam or blue devil works great. Check your water pump to see if its weeping before you do a flush and fill. If it is, you'll see pink caked up antifreeze coming from the bottom.

    This gentlemen is The answer to all alcohol fuel treatment, decarboning intake/cylinders and burning fuel hotter. Works like seafoam but is far more cost effective. A quart treats 512 gallons, so thats 13.5 of the big 38 gal tanks for $29. Certainly worth a try, eh? And no I don't own stock in it, yet....

    I use techron in my vehicles and the startron in my small engines becasue it does wonders for ethanol blended gas.
