Is it true that all blends have some kind of anti-foaming agent in them. If this is true, then why would you add armorall. Just for the air bubbles. I know that armorall is a polymer, and could that leave a residue on the motor. Will that that in the long run hurt the motor. I saw the video of olds97 demostrating the 1shot spritz of Armorall to a gallon of fuel. It made a beliver out of me, but I wounder about the latter. :OMG:
 
I know one of our members here tried and it proved the armor all in the nitro does reduce the bubbles. Not sure what the ratio was. Do a search on it. I think that if you do use it, I am not sure about what the effects would be to the engine. PM Olds to get more info.
 
I heard this as well. I guess its just one quick spritz.
 
one squirt per gallon will do it and i have been using it since august and my engine is still running fine.
 
Well... I don't know how much "latter" your talking about, but I do it religously with my fuel. Actually, I give more than one squirt. I think the armor all has a tendency to sit on the top of the fuel. After you empty about half the gallon, foam starts to show up again and I squirt another squirt into the half gallon and shake it up.

I have an OS 21 RG that I've run 12 gallons through, got it pinched, and I'm now on gallon 4 after the pinch. I've had to replace the main bearings, but that was around gallon 15. Otherwise, all the internals are original. Every single drop of fuel through that engine has had armor all in it.
 
LMAO!
Olds, I love that video. I think it's the way you show the product, then pop off the cap with one hand (as if you were injecting a life saving medicine, or popping a pin on a grenade).
I still say it's a great demonstration.
 
And it leaves the inside of your engine nice and shiny!!!! LOL!

This tip has been around forever but it's still one of the best. Funny how we overlook it until someone new brings it back to our attention.

My wife didn't want to be part of it... so I had to do it myself... She was calling me Vanna for a few days.
