Default Re: fuel additive s (deepnite)

I dunno if it's my car or the product, but I've used that "Z-Max" crap for my fuel system and my damm car over-heated after running it. I didn't know what the problem was. They like a year later, I used "Valvoline Fuel Injector Cleaner", and my car began to over-heat AGAIN. It only over-heated while a was at a hault. I had to be driving so it can cool down. But I've had bad experiences with the additives. I don't know if it's bad coincidence or I my fuel system just runs bad...

I've had good results from STP and Chevron but I think they are all the same pretty much.
