SAN RAMON, Calif., Feb. 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Chevron
Products Company, a division of Chevron U.S.A. Inc. and a leading provider of premium
aftermarket fuel additives, engine oils, lubricants, coolants and
related products, announced today that its Techron®
Marine Fuel System Treatment is now available on West Marine's
website (www.westmarine.com) and will be available at all West
Marine retail outlets coast-to-coast beginning April 2020.
Since the product debuted in August
2018, Techron Marine has generated strong grassroots
interest among boaters and fishermen. It was quickly adopted by
high profile professional fishing guides, charter captains,
tournament anglers and others who depend on their boats and motors
to make a living. Chevron furthered this groundswell of public
interest through the sponsorship of major events and tournament
series, including the Texas Bass Champs Series and title
sponsorship of the 2019 Techron TX Shootout, California's 2019 Salt Water Bass Association
(SWBA) Series and the internationally-attended 2019 U.S. Open Bass
Tournament. It was also selected for a Top Product Award from
Boating Industry magazine.
With Techron Marine available in West Marine's nearly 250 stores
across the U.S., it will be easier for boaters everywhere to
benefit from this specialized product, formulated by the fuel
experts at Chevron to deliver best-in-class fuel stabilization,
corrosion protection and cleaning power.
"We listened to boaters across the country and their key needs
focused on corrosion protection, fuel stability and dissolving gum
and varnish. In head-to-head testing and benchmarking, Techron is a
top performer in each of these critical areas," said Jim Smiley, Techron® Business Manager
North America with Chevron Products Company. "Expanding our
nationwide presence through a key retail partner such as West
Marine will help take this product's market penetration to new
levels, and the timing is great for those taking their boats out of
storage and getting ready for the 2020 boating and fishing season,"
added Smiley.
Techron Marine is made for use in all boats powered by inboard,
outboard and sterndrive gasoline engines, including two-stroke,
four-stroke, carbureted, port or electronic fuel injected and
direct-injected engines. Boaters can use Techron Marine to
stabilize fuel for up to 24 months during storage. Its alcohol and
emulsifier-free formula also prevents corrosion in fresh and
saltwater environments and optimizes performance and fuel
efficiency by cleaning fuel systems, fuel injectors, throttle
bodies, carburetors and combustion chambers when used with every
fill up.
"The Techron brand is known around the world and trusted to
provide real-world benefits backed by science and rigorous
testing," said Tim Stiene, West
Marine Category Manager. "We are pleased to partner with Chevron to
bring Techron Marine to the boating public, and through proper fuel
system management, deliver a smoother boating experience to our
customers."
West Marine will be stocking 4-ounce and 10-ounce bottles of
Techron Marine, capable of treating up to 40 and 100 gallons of
gasoline, respectively. Gallon sizes will also be available on West
Marine's website (www.westmarine.com) and at select West Marine
locations.
