Don't know why I used "loose" in place of "lose" in my prior post. Brain fart???

Thats what I'm thinking as well. I run the Techron concentrate (12 oz bottle good for 20 gallons) every 6 months for the fuel system, but the UCL did seem to break up the combustion chamber a bit more and overall I do feel that it is especially helping to keep under my valve cover clean.
The weird thing was that one morning I had a nasty misfire upon startup after I dumped 10-15 oz of UCL in with a fillup for the first time, which had 2 cylinders misfiring, totally driving like shit for 10 mins till I got to my destination. I went back in, and started up again and the vehicle ran fine and hasn't happened since! I'm theorizing the UCL broke up some crap in my combustion chamber and something got stuck on an injector or somewhere within the cylinders but then was burned up and/or passed through at next fillup.
Been running great since then! Thanks for the recommendation, I'm also using it in my Scag mower, as well as my Triumph, in conjunction with intervals of Techron.
