Lubricates the fuel system. Burn clean if you use the ashless formula.

If it doesn't come out of the green handle it doesn't go into my fuel supply.

I first read about the 2-stroke trick on DB. So i figured with all of the test and trials I would give it a shot myself ( 1 oz. per gallon ) and I love it. Made engine run smoother, quieter and i have noticed a little more fuel mileage. Go For It!
