easiest way is buy a bottle from Autozone or Kragen, suck it in the fuel tank. Cost less than 10 bucks. I suggest buy a bottle treats for 22 gallon tank to put on your 16.4 gallon CLK tank. that way it works better

I didn't see BG-44k on the list (many MB dealerships use this), but "Techron Concentrate Plus Fuel System Cleaner" is on page 16 of the Startekinfo Approved Service Products (see here):

http://www.startekinfo.com

Then click on "MB Workshop Resources", then "Recommended Fluids"

Hey,

I just bought Chevron Techron Concentrate Plus for $8. Should I exchange it for the BG44K?

Thanks,
Steve

I's use what you've got and see if it works.

BG44K is generally only sold to shops.....have no idea what it costs.

Please don't hurt me... It's my first Benz.

I dug out my 39k work order and saw "419 fuel additive" for about three times the cost of Techron Concentrate Plus, the MB recommended product as of 2006.

What was that?

52k is coming up.

Should just I put a bottle of Techron Concentrate Plus in the tank just before I go and tell the service agent not to add anything?
