I feel like a broken record here it seems like my last couple of posts have all been gas related but this should be the last one. The gas we have on base is stored in tanks for months at a time so I used to use MMO at every fill however we recently ran out of MMO so I picked up some Techron Concentrate to fill the void and after doing some research on Chevron's website I found that the concentrate is 10x stronger than the Techron at the pump. So after a little math adding 2.5oz of concentrate to a full tank of gas yields the same concentration as a straight fill up from Chevron.

Well we got some MMO back on the shelves so I bought a couple bottles but began to think about it. If I'm having the same concentration in my tank that I would have gotten if I had filled up at a Chevron then using MMO shouldn't be a problem at all. However I am no chemist nor do I pretend to be so I asked over on BITOG and have only had one 'yes or no' answer so I'm asking over here as well.

Can I run 2.5oz of Techron and 8oz of MMO at the same time?

 

Why are you even adding additives at all? Is anyone else on base having issues running that fuel?

 

No the people on base aren't having issues and the gas is premium so in all honesty the need for an additive probably isn't there. However, the gas comes in on a barge from Florida and is then transferred to our reservoir tanks on base where it'll sit for 4-6 months at a time so I like knowing that I've got something in the tank that will take care of any contaminants that may have made its way into the gas during the process.

 

The MMO is primarily for its increased lubrication properties.
