a little water in your gasoline will not necessarily hurt the car. (ever heard of water injection?)

but yes there is a type of alcohol used to disperse water in the gasoline. redline SI-1 and SI-2 have such an alcohol.

Get some HEET water remover and throw it in there. I felt a difference after using it maybe cause it's always rainy and humid here.

Gearbox, go hear to our website www.lubecontrol.com and read up on FP60. It is a very well respected product over on BITOG forums. It will remove water, dissolve carbon, add needed lubricity, reduce emissions, and possibly increase mpg. Works in gas or diesel.

Noderno, you are correct. LC20 will help clean the oil side of your engine and help keep oil from oxidizing and FP60 used in fuel helps clean the fuel side.

Many used oil analysis with LC20 showing the benefits over at BITOG.
