Default Best stuff to pour in gas tank?

What is the best stuff to pour in my gas tank like the chevron stuff and stp fuel cleaner or is it just better off using sea foam? Reason why i am asking is because my truck almost has 130,000 miles on it and never had injectors or anything cleaned just oil changes regularly and tune up a while ago

+1 on Chevron...or its brand of additives. Most of the other brands are some form of refined Diesel fuel.

At 130k you could have other issues that are affecting mileage. But a bottle of Techron or a couple tanks of Chevron gas probably wouldn't hurt.

You might try a can of MCCC down the TB, that'll give you instant gratification if you have 130K on the clock and haven't run it before.

After doing a study of fuel additive for Diesel fuel I would say either seafoam or MMO would be excellent cleaner for the injectors.

One of the greatest cleaners in Naptha and Stoddard Solvent. Look for them in the MSDS sheets of the product...

I runn two bottles of the chevron fuel system cleaner once a month... I also add Mystery Marvle Oil about once a month as well.. but I drive about 1,600-2,000 miles a month
