What do you need it for to clean out the carbon build up?

If so then Techron Concentrate, Gumout Regane, and Redline fuel additive are all good products.

I would think the best thing is to tune it for the fuel.or if in the building stages build&tune for the fuel.is your fuel different than ours hear if FL?I thought texas was the only place to get good fuel,or out of a cam2 ,vp,sunoco,etc barrell/station. or around back of bubbas station where he has a special stash.

Texas isn't the only place to find 'good' gas. Ethanol free gas can be found in many states around the USA.
