Driving along with 3/4 tank of gas and next thing I see is chcek gages. The gas gage is now on empty. Put about in 4 or 5 gallons of gas but still on empty. Anyone else have this type of problem? Thanks, Steve

As mentioned deposits will build up. Using top teir gas and adding a bottle of Techron a couple times a year usually solves the problem.

When the tank is empty, as said above, add the larger bottle of TECHRON PLUS. It might take another bottle on a second tank to remedy the problem. Put in a bottle every once in a while to keep the sulphur from building up.

I agree with Rene. Add a large bottle of Techron at every oil change and I doubt that you will see this problem again.

Maybe they're still here, but lurking in the background.
