The consequence is that the engine has to work harder to suck the fuel through and not enough fuel is injected into the cylinder. This could result in the engine misfiring resulting in a drop-off in mileage. DO NOT run your tank to empty...The protective layer of Bi-Tron will reduce the accumulation of shellac - leading to many miles of cleaner, more economical driving..."
