It keeps intake manifolds, intake ports, intake valves, and combustion chambers free of deposits caused by ethanol. When gasoline is blended with ethanol, it can wreak havoc on engines. Ethanol increases engine deposits, affects drivability, leads to corrosion, and eventually component failure. Deposit and corrosion formation cause engine efficiency and durability to plummet. BG Ethanol Fuel System Defender guards fuel systems from the damaging effects of ethanol gasoline. Added by a professional at every oil change, it protects intake manifolds, intake ports, intake valves, and combustion chambers from the damage caused by ethanol oxidation. Prevents fuel degradation Restores fuel economy Restores horsepower Prevents increased harmful emissions BG Ethanol Fuel System Drier PN 281 BG Ethanol Fuel System Drier defends engines against the water that accumulates in ethanol-blended fuel. Ethanol-blended fuel is hygroscopic, meaning that it absorbs moisture. If left untreated, this moisture can cause corrosion on fuel system components, leading to erratic engine operation, and microorganism growth that plugs fuel filters. BG Ethanol Fuel System Drier is a professional-use product that holds the water drawn in by ethanol in suspension, forming a stable solution. This allows the water to pass through the fuel system with no harm to combustion. Review: Great for fuel system cleaning. The best - Excellent product to clean fuel system . Car runs great Review: Works great, however didn't solve my problem - I thought I had water in my fuel, because my Tahoe was running rough randomly ...So I used fuel dry, injector cleaners, then this. I did notice an improvement in performance, but still had the problem. The Tahoe finally died all together. I had changed the MAP, MAF, new plugs and new wires and it kept getting worse and worse until it died. I lost spark and fuel pressure, which is very odd, because you usually have one or the other. I finally found my problem, or so I thought. The ECU (Computer) was fried. Well, my fuel pump goes out the day it comes out of the shop. I had already purchased one incase the last problem could have been the fuel pump..As we put the Tahoe on the rack, my mechanic spotted the problem..A ground wire had become lose and would have eventually fried the new ECU ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B076B2WH3L | | Best Sellers Rank | #246,804 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #178 in Fuel Additives | | Brand | BG | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 4.9 out of 5 stars (115) | | Date First Available | October 20, 2018 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 1.39 pounds | | Manufacturer | BG | | Manufacturer Part Number | Hengulus | | Product Dimensions | 5 x 3 x 9 inches | ## Images ![BG Ethanol Fuel System Defender & Drier - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61hDUR+I1QL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: can this be used in 1996 Honda ATV?** A: Yes, great for ATV's, motorcycles, side by sides, boats. Anything that sits for a little while in between use it is great for keeping the fuel fresh. **Q: Ford says duel addatives damage turbos. Hows this different?** A: While nothing is absolute, in the 40 years I was in the auto repair business I never heard of a additive damaging a turbo, or of the possibility. **Q: Do you use this product along with the BG 44k fuel system cleaner?** A: No. I alternate usage. I figure the engine is best suited to handle one cleaning product at a time. Additionally, I if I use both products at the same time, I cannot tell the degree to which either product it is working. I have used both products for years in my motorcycles, cars, trucks and lawn mowers. I trust it and will continue to use it. **Q: Can i put the ethanol defender, the drier and bg 44k in the same tank of fuel? in other words running all three together at the same time?** A: Yes, you can use all 3 at the same time. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for fuel system cleaning.
