I wonder if you could use ARx in the fuel tank? If so how much on a 25 gallon tank. Truck is a 02 F-150 5.4L. Motor has 40k on it and injectors are aftermarket replacements 21 lb/hr.

It's Brent again here, I finally replaced my valve seals on both cylinder heads, they were basically shot and came apart in little pieces in my hands. We cannot blame Auto-Rx because I started using this product at 343,000 miles and my valve seals were probably done. There were a few seals that hardly...

I have had this car for 16 months. Until july it never leaked oil, not a drop.

There are differing opinions on this, possibly some pre-ignit...
