Check Engine Light

Had a check engine light on the other day and read the codes. The sode read "Lean Bank 1"
What does that mean?
I just got gas the other day and put in Lucas Fuel treatment. I used it once before a long tow and got an extra 2 mpg.
Could that be the problem?
My truck is a 1997 Expedition 4WD 5.4
Thanks for the help

Lean Bank 1

Bank 1 is the engine side with #1 cylinder, so bank 1 is passenger side. Possible vacuum leak. Check your PCV valve

I'm checking the PVC lines this weekend with a mechanic friend of mine. I did put some Lucas Fuel Treatment in the tank and then the light appeared. I have since gone thru that tank of gas and the light has not come on since I reset it on Saturday. Could that have been the cause?I also detailed the Expedition on Sunday nad washed the motor and still the light did not come back on.
