Add the fuel system cleaner before adding gas. If you fill up with gas first and then add 20 oz of this, then your gas tank will be overfilled, which may trigger an annoying "check engine" alert.

Unless it says techron concentrate, that stuff is just pro-gard, which has 50% of the techron solution in a smaller bottle. We've already covered this several times in this thread.

No question about something that may harm an expensive piece of equipment is a dumb question.
This will work on any internal combustion (4 stroke engine), just like your car.

I have a 2000 Civic with over 200k miles. What kind of difference would I see by using this stuff? I've noticed gas mileage has declined over the years but nothing drastic.
