Which the best

@@tonyreeves8716 I like the Gumout.

@@HowtoRestoreHeadlights 😂😂😂 comment of the year!!

Follow just because of this

Thanks for watching and your feedback!👍🙏😊

GUMOUT WINS HANDS DOWN!!! The P.E.A. is Nitrogen based and comes in all Shell gasoline. There is some in the 87 and 89 octane version mixed with the Ethanol. But, The 93 V-Power Nitro+ has 5 times the Nitrogen in it than the lower grades and has absolutely no Ethanol whatsoever. That is why the Shell 93 can do without the Ethanol and the Government is still happy. And no Phase Separation with gas sitting for long periods that is associated with Ethanol. I found this out by talking with Shell, reading there literature and their videos about there gasolines. Chris Fix did an excellent video on Shell gasoline including mentioning that Shell has 7 times the cleaning agents than Sunoco Ultra, etc. I always use Shell 93 with the P.E.A. no matter what the price is! My tailpipe will prove how well it is in cleaning out any carbon in an engine. It is completely black and does not taste or smell like gas or oil. And I'm not running rich , lean , or burning any oil. It is just the carbon grit that gets cleaned out completely. SHELL FTW!!!!!!!!!!! WOOHOO!!!

Try it and your engine will love it!!! :)

@@jamesj.litteriojr.433 WOW! Thanks for all that information, that is Greatly Appreciated, Love the feedback! Thank You!👍🙏😊

@@WhipCityWrencher You are more than welcome my friend! And thank you for all the testing!

You're Welcome, Thanks!

Hi Ricky, Great Story👍 Thanks for Sharing👍

Sound like what I do but in 2024, help the family out

Totally agree 👍💯 .

Berrymans has a valve and combustion chamber cleaner kit, works good but not as cheap as b12 chemtool

Thanks for Sharing, don!👍

You're Welcome and Thank You!

I was a big gumout fan for years and then I tried the B12... for me the B12 does a better job.

You could be right, I've done some others with gasoline. Here's one. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7lOix8dUAf8.html&ab_channel=WhipCityWrencher

Yes, true, but physically dissolving the carbon by itself is also a good test by itself.

I am also thinking that the heat and motion/flow within a running engine would also come into play.

and heat.

Snakoil. I think it gave you confidence though. I'm sure Lucas appreciates the dedication

Thanks for Sharing👍

One thing to consider is the effect of heat and pressure on combustion with the chemical, that's not being tested. So, in my opinion this test is still inconclusive.

@@mrunderhood Well seafoam is like straight alcohol it’s a good cleaner for small components like injectors and carb parts like jets, needle valves etc.

@@jimmymccoy967 Seafoam is not an alcohol-based cleaner like B-12 Chemtool.

Thanks for sharing!

Would of made some good content next time record your test😊

I am definitely a Lucas fan...excellent product & results!!!

I did same with an 06 Victory Kingpin MC that had been sitting in garage for almost 6 years and had had a half tank of gas evaporate from the tank/system; but, I was using Seafoam and it only took 3 tries/days.

@@rkba4923 I hear great things about Sea Foam. So on the third day did it run smooth? I never got the Kawasaki Ninja 250 to run smooth at low RPM’s. Starts fine, but jerky when applying the throttle to take off. Maybe Sea Foam can fix the difference from here!

Way too EXPENSIVE 😮😣

That PI is good stuff, use every oil change on our Coyotes.

​​@@TorqueMonsterAWD That's wise. Use Top Tier rated fuels too every fill up. *Utilizes much more detergents/additives than fed minimums* . Google Top Tier gas stations list. All i use in both my newer F150 trucks w/gen2- 3.5L GTDI engines. Can't beat Ford trucks.💯

​​@@captainamericaamerica8090 Try STP 5 in 1. Newer product. Bout $8-10. Works well. Lucas fuel system cleaner is another good product i use every 5k mis in both my trusty '20 & '22 F150 XLT FX4 trucks w/ gen2- 3.5L GTDI engines. 👍🏻

​@@captainamericaamerica8090Price is an indicator of quality.

Thanks for Sharing 👍that was a cheap fix.😊

Did u have to add some more or was it just once? One bottle?

I have 2017 Toyota 86 with about 70000 miles on it . Today check engine light came on and I took it to a car place near me house had them code it and it spit out P0420 "catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 1 " . The sale guy told me to try Lucas and to my amazement it helped ! The light went off and so far so good .....

So the problem went away for good ? I got a 2017 Toyota 86 with 70000 miles -

Lucas gave me back my original mileage, and runs better at 33,000 miles. By 33,500 miles it gets less mpg after only 150 miles per month on cheap gas. I better use Lucas every fillup with stale cheap gas. What? Better fuel in chevron, mobil? Maybe, but I think gas gets stale. I'll try to keep tank close to full.

Hi David, Regular maintenance is key to longevity. Thanks for Sharing👍

Lucas sucks besides the power steering fix, Redline is best followed by Gumout and Berryman

Good for you

Royal purple is prob the best I've tried. I'm shocked that Sea Foam did as poorly as it did. Bg products are great as well.

You're Welcome and Thanks👍

Hi James, Thanks for sharing!

What about in CVT transmissions?

Any update!

Thank You! and Thanks for sharing!👍

@@WhipCityWrencher you bet! 👍🏼

B12 can you buy at Autozon

@@cezarrodriguez9827 Most Walmarts sell it and much cheaper that the auto parts stores and even through Berrymans so look into it. Walmart sells in such volume that they can sell it and engine oils and transmission fluid quite a bit cheaper than the auto parts stores can even .

Do you use a whole bottle and how often do you put in tank I usually keep my tank around half

Hi, curran Here are two videos with BG44k in them. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7lOix8dUAf8.html&ab_channel=WhipCityWrencher ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1nJxyK6YFrI.html&ab_channel=WhipCityWrencher

Thanks for Sharing👍

@WhipCityWrencher thanks for making the video. You're gonna save a lot of folks money.

@@thesimplyteez Thanks😊

Yep, that seems to be the consensus on the Lucas Thanks for your feedback👍🙌

I would like if they were a lot more proactive instead of just another Lubricant.

Lucas is just mineral oil and mineral spirits. Just get some baby oil and mineral spirits 😌 I like looking us the msds on these things

Yeah, I noticed that on the Lucas. Good lubricant for the fuel but not a strong cleaner

What does that even mean tho...? Call me ignorant but what is it that needs "lubricating" in the fuel system?

Thanks for your Feedback👍🙏😊

@Tee Mack, A lot of companies recommend doing it when you change your oil. Probably just as a reminder to use the treatment. I don't see a reason you would have to worry about changing your oil as a direct result of the Redline or any fuel treatment. The 2 systems should be completely separate from one another. Meaning your fuel system and engine oil. I'm a little OCD so I use treatments more often than I need to. If you use the Redline I suggest, Using a full bottle for the first treatment and then I do a half bottle every 1000 to 1500 miles after. And in between I'll use the small bottles of Lucas or Seafoam injector treatment every few tank's because I'm a Psycho lol.

@Tee Mack I never do, but actually, that may not be a bad idea.👍🙌😊

How often do u use it ? And how much u think is should put in my ram 1500 RT

Wil the synthetic oil on the red line , harm the catalytic converter?

Thanks for Sharing!👍 Yep, another good way to clean the intake valves and tops of pistons Is to spray it in your intake or in your case carburetor while the engine is warmed up and running. Using quick short sprays, just be careful not to spray too much at a time.

A old trick years ago to clean up carboned up valves was to start the engine and get it up to operating temperature then used a small cup with cold water in it and slowly pour water down the throats of the carburetor while the other hand rev's the throttle on the carburetor and what happens is the cold water against the hot carbon on the valves breaks the carbon off of them . I use to do this to my parents cars back in the late 60s early 70s and you could see all the carbon deposits and black crud left on the drive way after . Obviously that's much harder to do with fuel injection now but it does work on carbureted vehicles . B12 chem tool use to make these cans that had screw on ends and a screw on adapter for the Schrader valve on your fuel injection line and what we used to do is hook the can and the adapter up to the schrader valve then pull the fuse out for the fuel pump then start the vehicle and let it run until the can was empty . So what this does is it makes the B12 get pulled through all of the injectors at full strength and concentration instead of being mixed with fuel that dilutes the injectior cleaner . I can buy a 15oz can of B12 at Walmart for just under 5.00 a can now just a month ago but the cans I see don't have those screw or threads on the ends so that might be something you would have to order from Berrymans or special order it maybe from Walmart or the auto parts stores and see if they still have those adapters for the schrader valves or not . The thread size looks very close to your AC adapters so you might be able to try a ac adapter for cars to make it work on the can then slip a hose over it and clamp it after you use a tire valve removal toolon the Schrader valve then slip the hose over the valve stem and do the process of fuse removal and start procedure. The vacuum from the engine sucks the injector cleaner past the injectors and right into the combustion chambers so that's the other reason why to pull the fuel pump fuse out while cleaning so it's at full strength and when the engine stops running the can is empty and you can either call it quits or run another can through the injectors if they are really clogged up bad but be warned they might not be clogged bad it might just be worn out injectors where the pintles inside wear out and leak or the internal solenoids get weak and don't open up or close off all they way or open and close erraticly causing poor performance and fuel mileage .

@@peteloomis8456 Hi Pete, Thanks for Sharing! Good info!👍

Thanks for Sharing👍 I'm glad the Lucas fuel injector cleaner is doing its job. Not the greatest in MPGs on them SUV's but those old V8s are great engines. I hope you reach the 500K mark. Thanks!

You're Welcome Andrew Glad you liked the video, Thanks👍

Hi Mike, Thanks for Sharing your experience with the Gumout! Glad it worked for you!👍

Hi Keith, If they are really bad then I doubt a 16oz cleaner in a bottle mixed with gas will help much. It's worth a try though. Also, use top-tier gas I'll put a link down below in case you don't know what stations sell top-tier gasoline. Is your engine running rough? I'd take a bottle of the Berrymans B12 you can get it pretty cheap at Walmart and put a can of that in the tank also. I like to put one can/bottle of Gumout with PEA. and one can Berrymans at the same time in my tank, probably about 2 to 3 times a year. Thanks for watching and your feedback.👍🙏🙌 Good luck with your Toyota. www.toptiergas.com/licensed-brands/

Thanks, what all happens, and problems: AND RESULTS? Using REDLINE?

@@opera93 It's hard to tell because it starts out red but I don't think it did all that well. IMHO the Berrymans, Gumout, and Amsoil did the best.

us Techron, íts better

also, use TOP TIER GAS..dont use cheap gas... use SHELL, EXXON, BP ... if cheap gas brand, dont use it or u will have problem with FUEL injector

Hi Mike, Thanks for Sharing!

You're Welcome, Thanks!

Thank you for watching and your feedback. I Appreciate it Greatly, Thank You!👍🙏😊

The smoke coming out after using seafoam is just the naptha and fine oil in the seafoam burning. It's also made originally for 2 stroke engines.

Auston is right. Me and a friend tested Seafoam on a new engine to see what would happen when ran trough an intake system that's brand new and zero carbon/gunk present. Result was it produced just as much smoke as ever, meaning, the smoke you see when using Seafoam only proves that the product creates a ton of smoke under combustion. No surprise there being that Seafoam is oil based where-as B-12 is solvent based. You burn oil, you get smoke.

Austin is correct. Its just a reaction of the product, it's not actually doing what you think it's doing. ie it's not cleaning the engine or what not that people think it does. The age of the internet goes both ways so its easy to get confused. PEA is what works. I would assume products with the most concentration of PEA in a 1/4 to 1/2 tank gas. There might be lab tests done to show which brands have the most. But there is always the possibility of variations per bottle.

@@tacticalcenter8658 🤣😂🤣🤣 Good one

I did one test with Techron, here it is. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7qDh7DM2AAc.html&ab_channel=WhipCityWrencher

@@WhipCityWrencher awesome, thank you. I missed that video :)

Thanks for Sharing👍💯

Thank You, I do have some more videos coming up with gas mixed in. Thanks for the suggestion.👍

Agreed

It works for me. As if gasoline will magically make Lucas perform better. Testing the concentrate alone is still a valid evaluation because you're testing the effectiveness of the concentrate.

Also, bear in mind that formulations vary with gasoline from one region to the next, as well as across different brands as well as between different octane levels, so this further justifies the validity of testing the concentrate in isolation, as the concentrate's formulation remains constant and is not diluted by a mixture with gasoline which may not accurately present what you may use.

You're Welcome!

Hi Brian, Thanks for your feedback👍

You're Welcome Mark, Thanks for watching and for your feedback👍

Thanks for sharing!

I see a lot of people use this for a piston soak to remove carbon from rings. Many testimonials of reduced engine oil consumption. It’s much cheaper than gm top engine cleaner which is very good too

Thanks👍

This does work, but one has to be careful not to put too much water in the intake all at once. The water will not compress and you could end up with bent piston rods. Thanks for Sharing👍

Thank You! Cheers!👍

Looks like it’s a competitor to the Amsoil Upper cylinder lubricant. I would like to see the upper cylinder lubricant test. The amsoil one claims it helps with corrosion, that’s the selling point for me as some of my cars don’t get driven enough and a gas tank might last me a few months

If you read the bottle it says Upper Cylinder Lubricant with Injector Cleaner. It's not a dedicated fuel injector/spark plug cleaner like the rest.

Try putting a little bit of each one of these on a painted surface and see what it does. The only one thats strong enough to strip paint is the B12. Chemtool is extremely strong stuff It's all I use after 20 years that actually works quickly. I put it in the gas tank I've used it in engine oil as a flush on older cars I've even went as far as to mix B12 with automatic transmission fluid and poured it into each cylinder to soak and free up a couple stunk piston rings. Works great and cheaper than all the rest at that 👍
