I live in the Midwest, that's why I ask, plus my truck has 110K miles on it and I want it to last as long as possible.

the yellow bottle is for cold weather and should be used every fill up in cold weather. the red bottle is fuel injecter cleanser which is only needed when neccesary........and your not wasting your money, with a new car maybe but for a truck with a 100 plus it is a GREAT idea.......and to the retard a couple below me, gas lines freeze all the time in cars and semis. and the other retard all gas that you get at a gas station has ethanol

youre wasting your money. you dont need any additives into your gas for cold weather. Its not like gas will freeze, or burns any differently when its cold. Those fuel injector cleaners are pretty bogus as well. If cars needed their injectors cleaned that bad, they wouldnt run. I dont htink ive ever seen someone with a clogged injector without a bad fuel filter. thats what a fuel filter is for.
edit: And your gas line wont freeze. gas usually freezes around -97 degrees F. You prob had your fuel line clogged (bad fuel filter)

what year is your truck? a little secret .. if it is a 1990 or below you can use a bttle of isopropyl alcohol ..a small bottle and get the most potent like 70 percent or above

nope. i live in south dakota and i never put heet in my car. if you get the gas that has ethanol in it, it has the same effect as heet. and the ethanol gas is cheaper as well.

Do not use isopropyl rubbing alcohol, it's 30% water, which is what you're trying to get rid of.
