How much ATF do you say to put in? I heard that the newer oils are better then the ones of old and have plenty of detergents in them now? Do you fill your gas tank up and add a quart of atf or do you add the atf when your at like a 1/4 drive a few more miles then fill it up?

I've seen ATF used since I was a kid, it was always used by the tablespoon, and usually poured down the carb. I wouldn't use it now with all the products out there.

Wynn's fuel induction cleaner is way better than the shit BG sells.

Marvel Mystery has been around as long as cars. It must do something. I know techs that swear by it for all kinds of stuff. You should see how clean it keeps a diesel induction system.

He puts in a quart in his 20 gallon tank before filling up, that way it mixes better with the gas and you dont try to run your engine solely on ATF

Also, now that I mention it, my source actually wrote practically half of the ASE certifications

Where the hell did anybody say I was wrong? I have posted that I have infact have success with it, as has multiple other people including, in your words:

I havent seen any proof that it doesnt infact work or otherwise. If you think I'm so wrong and dont want to try it, again, I suggest you find some and dip dirty stuff in it. Gas already has detergents in it, just not nearly as high in concentration as ATF does. Shell has advertised their 93 octane fuel using more detergents with their V-Power.

Also, usually when someone has ALL certifications and is one of 2-3 people in the world with them, usually that signifies they give a damn about cars and how they work. Having one or two doesnt mean too much...having more than 20 means they probably know a thing or two, let alone more than 50
