Anyone ever use this in their boat fuel tank? We used a can in our 2005 Durango SLT 169,000 miles on it and it fixed our gas gauge as well as it feels like it runs better/smoother.
Our boat is a 1992 Celebrity 200 Cuddy w/a Mercruiser 5.7L I/O V8 350 Chevy engine with 235 hours on it. The block was replaced in 2016. The gas gauge could be stuck, because yesterday, the gauge read "full", but we know it's not. I also had the throttle almost flat down and the speedometer was only reading 27mph. I now have a iPhone App Speedometer that will tell me how fast we are going, the next time we take the boat on the water. The boat should be going faster than 27mph with an engine this big.
Since our boat gas tank holds 55 gallons, we bought two cans of the BG44K, but won't put it in until next Spring. Not enough boating days left here in northern Colorado now.
Actually, our old northeastern Florida marine mechanic, who had worked on our boat engine before we moved, has never heard of BG products (oil and gas treatments), but told me this AM "they should be fine for you".
