    Mercury Quickleen

    Can Quickleen be used in 4 stroke motors ?

    YES!!!!! Don Weed recommends Quickleen and Quickkare in every tank, Quickstor if it's going to set for awhile. I run it every tank, wouldn't consider not using the recommended additives with the price of new motors.

    This has me curious. I know two stroke motors are prone to carbon build up because they do not get as clean of a burn as four stroke motors. All boat motors are prone to carbon build up because they operate at a much lower temperature than a typical four stroke gas engine like what's in your vehicle. This leads me to ask...is the ratio of Quickleen the same for a two stroke as it is for a four stroke? Not that it really matters in my case but I am curious.

    I run it in all my vehicles. Cars, trucks, UVs, all my 2 stroke stuff. Good stuff.

    I just bought both I have a 4 stroke. Now how do I add the 1oz each far every 5gallons? Do I just add all of it at the end after I fuel up? Is it ok to sit in the tank I only use two tanks a year maybe. Any tips for this basic task I would love

    To answer my own question I looked on the carbon cleaner I use ,which is Evinrude Carbon Guard. 1oz to 8 gallons on a two stroke and 1 oz to 16 gallons on a four stroke.

    Thanks for everyone's opinion I just wasn't sure if it could be used in a 4 stroke . Will start adding it.

    Add it before you fill the tank that way it mixes better when the gas goes into the tank.

    You fill your tanks with fuel at $2.65 a gallon. That’s about $125. Then you add Quickleen to your gas to minimize carbon buildup. Then Quickare to control corrosion, gum and varnish. Then Quickstor or Sta-Bil to stabilize the fuel. Then Premium Plus oil to lube your injectors. If you follow this regimen (cocktail) recommened by many on every fillup, your wallet will be thinned out in no time flat.
