I have been using Valv-Tect Carbon Free and have been really satisfied with it. You add it to the gas, not the oil.

Why do you use this instead of Merc's quickeen - do you like it better? Is is the same but maybe a better price?

Just so I am not confused, isn't Quickleen the Mercury version for engine fogging? If so, I use Sea Foam instead of the Quickleen. The Carbon Free is more of a gas treatment, upper cylinder treatment that reduces carbon buildup. One bottle treats something like 60 gallons and costs around $6 per bottle at WM.

Well, I still use Sea Foam every now and again for fogging. I do that normally at the beginning and end of the summer, but the Carbon free made those engines just purr like a kitten. Running a 125 with the 2+2 config, they are notorious for having a rough idle. I also started using the Quicksilver Premium Plus and that helped even more. Now it very rarely runs rough.

I was turned on to Carbon Free by Mole2 and I had the same results as he did.

no quickleen is a gas additive that merc recommends in their opti's to keep everything free of carbon and stuff - like valve tech, I think...

Ok.. So I use the Carbon Free in place of the Quickleen.
