    How many times (weekly or monthly) is Fuel Injection Fluid to be placed in
    the car in the cold temperatures ? ('95 Cirrus)

    Thank You

    If you're using quality fuel and keep the tank at least 1/2 full, not
    needed. The 10% ethanol currently blended into gas should absorb any
    moisture caused by condensation in the tank.

    Whenever the Fuel Injection Fluid gage on the dash gets to the low mark
    or when the light turns on to indicate a low condition.

    Never? I don't use any and my cars fire up fine in the cold.

    This Canadian sez "Amen to that comment!" It was -30C this morning and if it gets
    to -35C there will be LOTS of cars that die on the road because of gas-line
    freezing. My vehicles won't because of the 10% ethanol blend I use in winter :)

  6. IF you mean FUEL INJECTION CLEANER, you really don't need it if you
    use a brand name fuel. It has the same cleaners in it and all the fuel
    needs. IF you are talking about "HEAT" products, (isopropyle alcohol),
    you USUALLY only need it if your vehicle sits a long time (days) in
    constantly changing weather ( warm - very cold - warm ) which CAN
    cause condensation to form in the fuel tank. One way to help prevent
    the condensation is to keep your fuel tank FULL when it is going to
    sit in a situation like that.
    I hope this helps.
