BG(0002698761) 44K Fuel System Cleaner 11oz

Usually you will hear products being advertised as “Magic in a bottle.” As we all know that there is never a magic solution to any of our problems, I can tell you that this is the closest thing to it, fuel additive-wise.

I’m the type of person who always keeps up with routine maintenance with all of my vehicles. I get an oil change every 3,000 miles, even if I’m using a synthetic blend. Having said that, I also use a fuel additive every oil change. It may be unnecessary, but it’s cheap and it gives me piece of mind. I’ve never had any major engine/fuel issues, so I’d like to think I’m doing something right.

I usually opt for the Lucas fuel additive every oil change that does into the gas tank. From some mechanic friends, this is supposedly a pretty good product. Although I add this every 3,000 miles, I’ve never really been able to tell a difference performance-wise. The same goes to the other fuel additives I’ve used in the past.

I tried B&G’s 44k for the first time, a while back based on a recommendation from a local shop. I’ve never heard of it before and I thought it was quite expensive for a fuel additive (approx. $20 vs. your standard $3-$5 bucks). I decided to research the product when I got home and I found that it had great reviews.

I decided to give 44k a shot. As expensive as it is for a fuel additive, it’s still a small investment. I’m glad that I did. This has been the only fuel additive where I actually noticed a difference in performance. Nothing significant (again, there is no such thing as “Magic in a bottle”), but I definitely could tell it was working. I had an increase in MPG and I could feel a little more HP when accelerating.

Now, I won’t be using this every oil change as it’s only recommended once or twice a year. So I’ll be using this every 3rd oil change and continue to use the Lucas in between.

FYI – I currently drive a 2001 Jeep Cherokee (XJ)

My 2001 Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa sat in the garage for years due to severe orthopedic arthritis that had developed in my shoulders. I would go out and start it occasionally, but one day it wouldn’t start and I noticed the fuel pump wasn’t pressuring up when I turned the ignition on. Then it sat for ANOTHER few years until I finally had shoulder replacement surgery performed. Some time later, I was in good enough shape to ride again, so I set about the task of restoring my bike. The tank had rusted and the fuel pump was a rusted, locked up mess as well. I cleaned and treated the tank and replaced the fuel pump and strainer. On first start, the bike barely ran on one cylinder. I thought sure I was going to have to spend big bucks to have the entire fuel system and injectors cleaned when I read about BG 44K. I was skeptical because none of these additives had ever worked for me before and I just wasn’t buying the “miracle in a can” hype, but I thought perhaps it wouldn’t hurt to give it a try. I spoke with BG customer support and explained my situation, and they were very helpful and recommended using the entire can in my 5 gallon tank for the severe problem I described, said it wouldn’t hurt a thing. After adding BG 44K to a full tank of gas, I started the bike and ran it on one cylinder until it came up to temperature and shut down overnight to let the treatment soak in. Repeated the next day, second cylinder kicked in! Shut down overnight again and repeated again the next day and the third cylinder came to life. Two more repetitions and all four cylinders were firing. Then I was able to ride my bike again for the first time in many years. It ran a little rough at first, but by the time I had run completely through that one tank of gas with the BG 44K treatment, the fuel system was completely clean and the bike ran strong just as if it was new! I couldn’t believe it! I’ve put another 300 miles on the bike and haven’t looked back – still running perfectly with no issues. Highly recommended.

Works great this will clean the carbon out of your vehicle and make it run better and give you better fuel mileage I recommend this product

Perfect product, I added it to a 70 Litre tank, filled it up, drove around a hundred kilos, I could see the difference in starting, performance and quieter running.

I’ve had a lot of work done on my 2000 Grand Prix GT recently. I seen this advertised in the shop and read that many mechanics recommend it. As I waited for my car, I heard people coming into the shop raving about it to the office staff.

I tried this in hopes of buying myself some time before servicing and/or replacing my fuel injectors. I definitely noticed the difference in power especially going up hills and the better gas mileage within days. My driving habits did not change. I drive about 90% highway and above the speed limit most of the time when commuting.

The first can I put in the tank when my tank was 1/4 full and then filled the tank all the way up. This stuff really stinks bad and I wouldn’t breathe it in at all. On the first tank I gained roughly about an extra 50 miles before reaching 1/2 tank!

I have an intermittent code that never shows up at the shop. PO170. Within the first 30 miles of putting this in, the code came showed up. Despite the car driving rough – I drove it another 15 miles or so and the code went away and drove another 60+ miles afterwards and it ran great. Not sure if it’s related or not but I thought I’d mention it just because. The car has 189,000 mi on it and hasn’t shown any codes since.

I bought a second can just because of the better gas mileage alone. You will need a decent, long neck funnel to get it into your tank. This stuff is thick and red, almost like tranny fluid. Pretty good results so far. I will change the fuel filter and run another can through. I’ll update the review after the second can runs it course.
