[QUOTE="Texasmark, post: 1444846, member: 27848"] X3. I learned of it on the iboats boating forum. For carbon clogged engines members developed a process known as "decarb". You can just go to a Google search engine and put in the word and get the dissertation. The video that's in one of the replies to this post looks like the startup of the engine after receiving the treatment and starting the clean up process......smoke out your neighbors. 2 stroke Loop Charged engines use only 2 rings per piston and are wedge shaped. The process is such that upon entering the compression part of the stroke, cylinder pressures cause the rings to expand into the cylinder walls for maximum compression. When rings are carboned up, and carbon is part of the chemistry of "dino" fuels so it's always available for deposits, the rings can't seat properly and performance is lost. I'v been a firm believer in the stuff since about 2005. I have run restoration projects with it on older engines, 2 and 4 stroker small engines on equipment around the farm just to have something to do and it has proven itself time and time again. On my boat it was in my fuel constantly. When my engine was 12 years old (90 hp Merc. looper), I decided to do the carb kits and found zero fuel related deposits in the bowls using 87 octane <10% ethanol at 50:1 or less mix (VRO internal oiler). I did find a few tiny pieces of fuel line and as a result redid the rubber in and into the engine.....but 12 years and ethanol......... I have the 2011 Silverado with the 4.8 or 9 V8, forget which, and I toss a can of it in every once in awhile, for upper cylinder lube and injector hygiene. Tractors get Power Services diesel treatment so I don't use it in them. [/QUOTE]
