Keep Your Engines Running Smooth with Mechanic in a Bottle

Let’s face it: small engines, whether 2-cylinder or 4-cylinder, seem to develop issues at the worst possible times. From clogged carburetors to stubborn water and carbon deposits, the struggle is real. When you need your equipment the most, that’s often when something goes wrong.

But here’s the good news: M&D Enterprises has your back with Mechanic in a Bottle.

This powerful synthetic fuel additive is designed to keep your engines running at peak performance. While it may look like a small bottle, don’t let the size fool you—it’s a giant when it comes to restoring and maintaining your engine’s health.


Why Mechanic in a Bottle is a Game-Changer

If you’re tired of dealing with poor engine performance or breakdowns, this additive is your go-to solution. Here’s what it can do:

  • Remove varnish from the fuel system.
  • Eliminate and prevent carbon and water deposits.
  • Revitalize rubber and plastic components.
  • Cleanse the engine’s fuel system.
  • Ensure efficient starts and peak performance.

And the best part? No greasy hands required! Just unscrew the fuel cap, pour in 1 ounce of Mechanic in a Bottle per gallon of fuel, and let it do the rest. Your engine will be running like new in no time.

Got Diesel? We’ve Got You Covered!

Don’t worry, diesel owners—there’s a Mechanic in a Bottle for you too! The diesel-specific formula offers additional benefits:

  • Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) for 360-degree anti-corrosion protection above and below the fuel line.
  • Ultra-concentrated formula, compatible with all diesel systems.
  • Restores lubrication, extending the life of pumps and injectors.
  • Increases cetane for better power and performance.
  • Cleans the entire fuel system, reducing emissions and smoke.
  • Prevents sludge, bacteria, and fungus by dispersing water.


How to Use Mechanic in a Bottle

For a Poor-Running Engine:

  1. Mix 1 ounce of Mechanic in a Bottle per gallon of fuel.
  2. Fill the fuel tank and run the engine for 5 minutes.
  3. Let the unit sit for 8 hours.

For a Non-Running Engine:

  1. Drain the fuel system completely.
  2. Add Mechanic in a Bottle to the tank (2 oz for small equipment, 4 oz for larger equipment).
  3. Press the primer bulb to get the additive into the engine.
  4. Let it sit for 8 hours.
  5. Pour in fresh gas and start the engine.
