I hear you can put coca cola in it for that refreshing smell/taste out of your exhaust!

Make sure you add a pound of sugar for every fill-up!

Thanks guys! I took all your advice. Rubbing alcohol, diesel and sugar. It's running great! Better mileage too.

when finished filling be sure to turn the fuel tank cap until it clicks once or twice to avoid having the check-engine light come on and remain on for a week or so...

You HAVE TO reset your fuel ECU when first pump....
You have to finish this in timely manner..

1. Confirm that your car is completely OFF.
2. Swipe your Debit/Credit card and choose desired Gas grade and
start pumping into your Z.
3. While gas is pumping, run to your driver seat and turn the
ignition switch ON.
4. Wait 5 seconds, turn your volume of your radio full blast.
5. Wait 10 seconds, turn off your volume and go to back of your car..
your pump gauge should showing about 10 gallons.
6. Press rear hatch button 5 times, wait 3 seconds, go back to your
driver seat.
7. Press Vdc button 7 times wait for 20 seconds. Turn OFF your ignition.
8. Turn On ignition and start your engine. You should be done with filling your
gas. If not, yourdrain all of your gas and start over or your Seat belt
light will remains ON.

Timing is EXTREMELY critical to resetting the ECU.
