Anyone know of any issues putting the fuel additives for smog check?
Gonna get a smog on my FD in the next few days and wondering if anyone had any issues with putting the fuel additives for the smog check? Problems? Issues that one has experienced? Brand recommendations?

Just remember if you do put any additives in like alcohol to drive conservatively just to be safe for that tank.
My personal procedure to get my fairly heavily modded FD to pass is:
1) Run tank down to about 1/4
2) Add 1 gallon of denatured alcohol from Sears
3) Warm up car VERY well. (at least 30 minutes of highway driving if possible)
4) Drive immediately to test and pass
5) Go straight to gas station and fill up with highest octane
6) Drive nicely on that tank until it's empty
7) Fill up with high octane and resume usual boost activities

Good advice Wargasm, esp. the part about driving easy till the alcohol is gone. We had a rail car here in Washington full of denatured alcohol catch fire a month or so ago. The EPA was'nt even concerned, cause they said it burns with almost zero emissions
