I dont know much about cars.  Few of my friends own shops.  Ive been told you dont put that kinda stuff in a car.  Let alone a brand new H3.
Your friends are wrong...You need something every once in a while to eliminate water and clean and lubricate the upper cylinder areas of the engine....And I don't care either if your friends think that gasoline has enough fuel system cleaner built in..that's BS too.

I use Redline SI-1  or BG 44K everytime I change oil or every 5000 miles..it's like a shot of penicillin for the engine

Either way, it isn't adequate for proper maintenanc of your fuel system. sludge and varnish still build up and the harsh cleaners you add to the fuel will break those up. High concentration use, i.e. every tank, of these cleaners and additives can be detimental to the fuel system. Occasional use like what Dennis does is probably the best plan for that stuff.

RutDogg's photo gallery 		Here's the question then.....What is the best and safest fuel additive to use?  I never even considered using a fuel additive before, but I might if I can get a little more info on it.

Dennis, which of the two that you use is better?

If anyone else uses a fuel additive or has an opinion please weigh in!

I recommend not using any of the others... They are not the strength and as safe to use as these two products are.

Well, my H3 has 31,000 miles on it and is 16 months old.  It's definitely not new anymore!
