BG 44K fuel system cleaner

Been a long time since I thought about BG products. We used to use them extensively back in the 70-80's then that EPA stuff started they reformulated things and were just average.

Any poop I spoke to an old friend and told me about 44K, how MB was testing with it showing great results in the hot rod AMG stuff

So tried it. Filled up the tank to about 3/4, 2 cans of BG. Immediately took it for a long ride ( it evaporates if you dont) down the hwy and through the mountains maybe 200 miles I just dont look at that thing on the dashboard. A few redline pulls maybe 5-6 kept it in the 4-6000rpm range all day.
Car ran real nice after about 30 min

Came home pulled the plugs, they were clean and looked new. Cleaner then the week before when I did a leakdown. The carbon at the base of the plug was gone.
Anyway my numbers were about the 5-10% loss. Today they were much better
This stuff really works quite well for the Italian tuneup.

These are the same results my friend said they were getting before ripping into an engine for no reason just to find carbon buildup

5-10% down to this across the board
These cars need to be driven

I used to be in love with their "extreme pressure concentrate" and those cute little plastic disks on the bottom of the can you could cash in LOL

 

I always like to double up on an extreme treatment if I am going to run the tank empty then fill it back up again. Get's if off to a good start

Loosens all the gargaho's then does it's normal cleaning

BG has always been effective of getting carbon out, years back cars would carbon knock sounding just like a bad rod and this was one of the ways to dissipate it along with a steam treatment.

 

No LOL

I fill tank to about 3/4 full

Dump 2 cans in the tank

Drive until almost empty

Refill tank and drive normally

You want to high strength solution running through the system all that same day as put in then dilute with more gas when your done


---------------

We used to have a machine from BG that mixed the cleaner with gas and we would hook the car up to it and run it through a cycle of soak/run. I cant remember the exact ratios but it was like 2 to 1 fuel-cleaner, boy howdy it sure cleaned it.
This was before they changed the formula
Delco makes a super strength cleaner if you want I can go dig some up I know I have a case here somewhere. Its made to be run not in the tank for deep cleaning


edit

This is the delco stuff. It will melt your fingernails really good stuff DOES NOT GO IN THE TANK

LOL your from Calli

 

I left the east coast in 97 after 3 feet snow never looked back, best thing I ever did

 

Yes I know that's why I preach LEAVE JERSEY LOL

My hair was grey and falling out now it normal again no gray, something about that place strangles you after a while

 

Sorry but the Suns are mine had them a long time each is setup for something different. You may be able to find one on ebay

No I would never use this as a repair just when you get an issue you think is carbon related is give it a try. With modern computers when you get carbon buildup the knock sensors tell the car to make less power all they way down to what we call a limp mode.

99 degrees? YIKES 80 here with 40% humidity and I am complaining, Normal is 70 and 10% humidity
