Anybody use Techron in the fuel?

For several years I have used a few products on my cars , motorcycle, lawn mower, etc..Mostly Techron and Seafoam, and sometimes Marvel mystery oil. I just purchased a 2009 w209 CLK 350 with just under 13k on the clock. The car runs great , but I am alittle hesitant to use Techron in the gas. I put have a bottle every other fill up in my truck just to keep the injectors clean. (cheap gas) Anybody do this kind of maintence on their Mercedes?
Great forum

Techron & the BASF equivalent are the only products approved by Benz. Keep Seafoam well away.

I have been using Techron Concentrate Plus Fuel System Cleaner for a few years now. However, I only put a 20 oz bottle every 3-4 months or so.

Use it as well. I love the temporary pull you get while accelerating. I use it every oil change so every 4000 mies

You could just buy Chevron gasoline, which has Techron in it already. Chevron says if you use a high grade gasoline regularly, you shouldn't need to use Techron concentrate.
