Redline Complete Fuel System Cleaner
I just got a bottle from King motorsports, and am trying to figure out how to use it. I used to use Chevron fuel system cleaner, and I had to add it on an empty tank, but this bottle doesn't say anything about it. Also, should I just put in the whole bottle, or use those little increments on the bottle for regular usage?

According to this http://www.redlineoil.com/whitePaper/15.pdf
It says to initially use one bottle for a tank of gas, then after that you can treat 50 to 100 gallons of fuel per bottle on a continual basis.

I've used SI-1 since around 1999 and it's a great product.
Just as the instructions specify - use an entire bottle your first time (unless you've had your injectors cleaned recently or used BG 44K or Techron within a few tankfulls).
After that, carry a bottle in your trunk and add the specified amount per tank full. The bottle has (or should have) 10 gal markings (increments) that'll tell you approx how much to add to each tank.
I add about 1.5 to 2 of the (10 gal) increments per tankful.
For note, you'll notice your car won't have as much power after you add the full bottle (unless you have 93 octane or greater in your tank) because the product will lower your octane # very slightly. You'll also notice this if you add too much in a tankful (4 or more increments). However Redline claims that the product reduces your cars Octane requirement by nearly two points (I don't subscribe to this claim). My butt dyno claims differently.
Add 1 to two increments per tankful and your car will run like a champ, without killing your octane #. The first time treatment is used to remove large deposits (full bottle).
If you've used Techron recently, you probably don't need to use a full bottle, maybe half to a quarter at most. This product is superior to most other products on the market including Techron.
Amsoil offers its Performance Improver (PI) which works very similarly and almost as well. SI-1 is less expensive (through Pep Boys), but does not have as long of a shelf life as Amsoil PI.
