I've used Techron, BG 44K, or Amsoil cleaners.

Techron is the only fuel additive I’ve used in my c5z. And really the only reason is to keep the fuel gauge working correctly.

I’ve used Seafoam in all my cars for years, including the C5 with excellent results.

Techron and Marvel Mystery Oil are the only two additives I use in engines.

The Marvel really helped up get a Corvair that sat for 30 years back on the road when it had sticky valves and rings.

The GM cleaner I think is just Techron in another bottle.

Seafoam for crank case or vacuum lines. Techron for the fuel tank. If you put Seafoam in the crank case, make sure you change your oil soon after.
