    I have a couple threads saved that talk about piston soaking. The net is that I'm not that desperate...yet. (y)

    When I used the BG 44K, I filled up again at half-tank since it's so concentrated and it meant that I would have it in the tank for nearly eight hundred miles. I think it might be most effective that way since it's in the tank longer and I don't think high concentrations are necessarily better at cleaning. That's what I read anyway.

    Please follow up about that. I'm very curious if the Motor flush / Cataclean would be more effective.
