well about 3 weeks ago i dumped some of this stuff in my engine, and near the end of that tank... i think ... i started getting a low rpm stumble... but it was aslo right after i changed my tranny fluid

do u think that stuff can kill a fuel pump or anything like that?

if this damn thing would let me clarify without having to wait 90 seconds im talkin about something u put in ur gasoline, that is says it proves to make ur cars smog levels go down by like 75% and clean ur injectors and cleans excessive carbons out of ur engine.

i dont remember the brand but thats all i have to say about it i just wonder can that stuff damage ur engine at all?

like i know things that are supposed to clean ur water pumps usually just kill the pumps

Is it Sledgehammer, made by Run Rite? I sell that, its supposed to be top of the line fuel system cleaner. I don't think it will hurt anything, my boss has used it for years with no trouble.

I work at a dealership and we sell services like that all the time, but only because they pay so well. I have NEVER seen any of that crap actually fix a problem though. It is sold as preventive maintenence.

For what it's worth Newbiewar, it helps an awful lot when you ask for advice about a product that you actually know the name of the product.

Otherwise... you know that stuff... that I put in the thing...will it hurt my other thing... if I don't turn that deal the right way????
