SUBJECT: FUEL COMPANIES ADVERTISING DETERGENT ADDITIVES FOR FUEL INJECTED ENGINES
MODELS AFFECTED: ALL MODELS EQUIPPED WITH PORT FUEL INJECTED ENGINES
General Motors has asked gasoline suppliers to market and advertise gasolines that keep port fuel injectors free of deposits and help remove deposits formed on port fuel injectors.
The national and regional brands of gasoline listed have been advertised to have detergent properties compatible with port fuel injectors. While these advertised claims are not based on data generated by General Motors, we have no reason to doubt the truth of the claims.
This list is not intended to be all inclusive since more suppliers will be improving their fuels. Please be alert to local advertisements so your listing will be as comprehensive as possible.
