Water in your gas. You don’t want it.

But…it happens. Due to condensation or leaks at your fuel pump, small amounts of water can collect in your gas tank. While very tiny amounts will generally make it through your fuel system without damage or consequence, it doesn’t take much water to start to cause problems. Some of the symptoms of water in your gas tank include:

Difficulty starting your engine
Hesitation (may go away as you drive)
Engine sputtering and dying
Racing/uneven idle or cruising

If you detect any of these drivability problems, there’s a chance you have water in your gas tank. The major cause of water in your fuel system is the build-up of condensation in your fuel tank. You can minimize this effect…

Getting the best performance out of…

Winter is hanging on for much of the US. Be sure to protect your vehicle from excess wear and friction caused by long periods of idling.
Contrary to conventional wisdom, idling does surprisingly little to warm the engines of today’s gasoline-powered vehicles. Modern engines are engineered so they’ll actually warm up faster if they are driven, not left to idle for long periods of time. Until the engine warms up sufficiently, the onboard computer system is putting extra gas into the combustion chamber. And all that gas is an outstanding solvent that can wash lubricating oil off the walls, causing significant extra wear and friction on components like piston rings and cylinder liners. This engine warming negative effect can be fought off with engine treatment…
