Yup,

That is the ONLY one proven to work. All others are just wasting your cash. I was even skeptical about the techhron, but as with most others I have tested seen first hand. It is the ONLY one that made improvement with deposits.
I use it here (I run strictly 95Oct), as the actual pump gas. While you can get it in bottles at walMart, AutoZone, ect... it works best when used in their gasolines.

redline and seafoam, both have worked well for me, i have also used seafoam in my oil as well, good marks all around

seafoam is pretty rough on the engine

I use Jectron and Ventil Sauber from Lubro Moly. Both seem to work great in my car. Have never had any problems and my engine runs smooth.

For yuo guys that have recommended something, how do you know that it works?

Can you describe before and after observations? Thanks!

I recommend BG 44k.

I have not used it on my MB, but have on others cars that I have owned. One example was a Mitsubishi Galant VR4, I had erractic idling and would bogged down on 1st gear every so often from a dead stop . I added the 44k with half a tank of fuel and it solved the issue. This product is used in almost all highline shops and dealerships. They are a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for.

How is seafoam hard on the engine? I know omey uses it on all his cars without problem, and I have used it numerous times without concern, should I be worried to use it again.

i usually do the same amount of driving every week, i.e. same highway vs city, split between driving home for highway and city for work, I also track my miles so when i add the stuff I see i am getting better mileage for the miles i have gone, not sure if that is the best way to measure it but i think that works for me.
