Used BG 44K and instant CEL
I used Bg 44K in full tank on 95.5 Toyota Tacoma 2.7l AT w/ 125,000, took a drive an hour later and within 4 miles, the CEL went on. Codes: PO130/PO133. I had these turned off thinking it was a fluke, but within 40 miles or so, the CEL came back on w/ the same codes.
The 02 sensor and Cat. were replaced 2,000 miles ago. Is it possible this stuff killed my 02 sensor? Or is it possible this will burn through and read fine eventually?
Tx.

I doubt it would have killed your O2 sensor with it in the tank. I run seafoam though my cars once a year and have not had a problem, and that is 100x worse then BG in the tank.
My guess is that the BG is just throwing the reading off and it will be back to normal next time you fill up.

Though it may be an o2 code, first try your gas cap. It may just not be sealed right after you put the stuff in, however the gas cap codes usually are more fuel related
