Yep. I have been. No issues at all. I run about a quart of it in my 46 gallon tank.

I run the super tech stuff you get at walmart. $10 for a gallon of it and its ashless TCW3 rated. Cant beat that price. Havent noticed any mileage or power gains but the motor at idle is much more quiet and smooth as silk. I think my truck likes it. I run a quart every fill up.

Exactly what i noticed/not noticed. I did it for the life of the injectors and not any seat-of-the-pants feel. This is also what I use as well.

Are you guys that use the ashless in the tank still using a fuel conditioner as well. Or just the ashless oil.

I am headed to wally world tomarrow to get some fuel for the gas grill and figured I would try the ashless in my tank too.

About every third tank I will put some DieselKleen in it. I will also use that if I am hauling heavy too.

I use tcw-3 2 stroke in every tank 16oz per 28 galllons. Seems to quite the engine down alittle better fuel mileage. Every 3 or 4 tanks I also run a quart of dextron in the tank to clean things up, seems to help.

I have been using opti2 and power service (about 12oz oil and half dose conditioner) for over a year.In the summer I skip every other tank or two with fuel conditioner in and I skip the 2 stroke oil when its colder than -10c and full dose with the white power service.The two stroke oil really quiets the injectors.

There's really that much of a noticeable difference with the injector noise?
