Fox 5 news did a segment on winter driving. On it they said to pour a bottle of DRY GAS in the tank to stop all the moisture in the tank. What exactly does this do? Should I do it? </P>

 

Hum, interesting...it is probably the brand or trademark of some kind of fuel additive..I wont try in your mustang if I was you

 

</P>


</P>


Yes it is.They said it is a good idea to pour abottle in because it stops the lines from having condensation in them during winter weather.</P>

 

Condensation from th fuel or water, confusing!!!!!!!!!!!!....Really cold winters are dry usually, not much humidity to create condensation.........

 

Yea thats the name of the brand. That stuff really works good. Over the summer my car sate for 3 mounths, while i was waiting for my motor to be built. When i was ready to start it up, I put that in and it was find.

 

yeah, summer time is different, not too much humidity for condensation during cold winters........

 

Heat will find it's way all the way back to your gas tank, it happens. I wouldn't worry about it too much though, it's never happened to anyone I know. </P>

 

Well my car set for over a year while i was gone and through me building it up and i had a full tank of 93 octane and ut no additives in my tank and it was fine!That crap is junk if you ask me.Its useless n2o is right theres no humidity in winter whats to cause moisture?

 

The moisture isn't caused in the winter. It builds up from water in your gas (yes, eventually it builds up) moisture caused by temp. changes, etc. In the winter, this can freeze/make your car burn dirtier. I believe dry gas is some oil/Alcohol mix. It surrounds the impurities and takes them through your gas lines..the alcohol makes it burn hotter and the water/impurities are burned up. Your car will actually run cleaner. It's a trick I learned from an Emissions inspector when our van had like 213,000 miles on it. IT DOES WORK! It also keeps that water from freezing, unlikely, but it could happen.
