Techron, Redline's FI cleaner and others I can't recall contain PEA (polyether amine). PEA is somewhat special as other detergent additives can cause a buildup of the detergent itself over time.

Also there's some evidence that the big slug of Techron (dumping in a whole bottle) is not as effective as using a little all the time or using Chevron or Texaco gasoline. I haven't been able to find out what does of PEA is in the gasolines. Techron additive is 30% - 60% by weight according to an MSDS I found.

If I can't find or don't want to pay the extra for Chevron, I'll drop about a fourth a bottle of Techron along with a fuel up.
