CRC 1-Tank Power Renew?
Has anyone tried this product yet? It sounds promising, and I know CRC makes some good items. Yes, I know about Sea Foam, Berry B-12-I've used them. This sounds like it may be better-but unsure

Update
Well I tried this on my wife's Honda Fit and couldn't tell any difference in the performance, other than the gas mileage dropped from 35.2 to 30.2. I wrote CRC and requested a refund of my purchase price under their Money Back Guarantee. Don't waste your time or money on this one!

What were you expecting to gain on a Honda Fit? Haha
I would also suspect that mileage drop is due to driving habit and not so much the additive. 1st time i've ever heard of the stuff, but it sounds like zMax snake oil to me.

FYI-vehicle was driven the same after using this product as before. I've had good results (increased MPG) with Berryman B-12 and Seafoam on this vehicle, didn't want to invest the $$ for my truck if it wasn't going to work. Yes, I've used their brake cleaner, contact cleaner, and other products and been happy. This one doesn't cut it thou!
P.S-The FIT gets over double the gas mileage of the truck-so I have to have it to balance out the $$ on gas!

Read the owner manual and see how many of these "Snake oil" the guys that built the truck recommend.

They won't-they say don't use anything but Ford chemicals. Privately, many dealers like and use SeaFoam. I've used both SeaFoam & Berryman B-12 on my truck and it always runs better and the MPG goes up a little bit. It helped keep the carbon off my plugs for easier removal.

For other posters, to suggest any chemical used to clean injectors is "snake-oil" is ignorant. All dealers/mechanics use chemicals to clean injectors.
