Shocked that it worked!

Would Recommend

Used in engine that sat outside over 2 years and would not start. Followed directions on bottle. Left overnight but still would not start. Tried again the following day (48 hours after adding to system) and started on 2nd pull and ran the full tank dry. Put in fresh gas and it now starts on 1st pull. I wouldn't have believed it but it worked. Worth trying before taking to a mechanic!

Surging eliminated

Would Recommend

My snowblower was surging pretty badly this year. After less than one tankful with Mechanic In A Bottle, it started running smoothly. I was impressed to say the least. It saved me a $100+ bill at the repair shop for carburetor cleaning.
