I have used many brands and I have not seen any one better than any other. Even the cheap Wal Mart brand works.

I used STP in the past, and it seemed to work well. Also, every now and then, I would pour some methyl hydrate (gas line antifreeze) to remove all the water residue from the tank.

Oh to regards on how much to use.. i think your supposed to use the whole bottle per 20gallons.. and we have 14.5 gallon tanks. Cuz i remember i used like 3/4.

Miles-wise...I'd say every 2000-3000 miles or so. Do not use STP with Methyl Hydrate at the same time....also, in dry climates (30%< humidity), chances of water condensation are much less than in continental climate regions (80%> humidity).

Use wise, one bottle per tank...in most cases.

The bottle of STP that I bought says is good for tanks up to 14 gallon so I used the whole bottle so that's good.

So if our tanks are 14.5gal so I'm alright. STP says is a bad thing if you use more then it says on the bottle.

Thanx alott for all the replies guys, I know that count on you guys.

Thanx again.
