HokemBokem Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Hey tonight i picked up a bottle of fuel injector cleaner, have any of you ever used this? Its the kind that you pour into a full tank of gas. I was wondering if its good to buy this every once in a while or is it a waste? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruticus Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 I use to use techron in my lumina and i noticed a bit of a difference in my gas milage on a full tank. What brand is the one u have ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay3800 Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 I use Valvoline SynPower Complete Fuel System Treatment once a year. It cleans the whole fuel system, not just the injectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOHCRagtopguy Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 CRC Fuel Injection Cleaner works great. Best on the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 I use STP fuel injector cleaner once in a while. Its cheap but I've noticed a difference (made my sister's car start up perfectly instead of the firing on the second try, and made my 88 run smoother).

sl3196 Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 I usually dump a bottle of the supertech(walmart) stuff in every oil change. I ran race gas this year and I bet that cleaned it up very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulo57509 Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 This is not an endorsement, but I have been told that this stuff is better than the OTC stuff. http://www.lubecontrol.com/fuel.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94CutlassSLCoupe Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 "the outlaw" fuel injector cleaner is what I have found works great. The main thing is that if your fuel filter is dirty, the injector cleaner won't help much because it still won't get fuel flow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HokemBokem Posted September 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 well im picking up my car from the shop in about an hour with a brand new fuel filter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscoStudd Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 I don't think it really matters what brand you buy, just dump in a bottle every oil change (y'know, like every 3-4k.) Lately I've been getting the Valvoline SynPower (not the "once-a-year" stuff, but the "every 3k" stuff.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HokemBokem Posted September 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Yea i was about to get that kind, im also exited to clean my mess of a throttle body and see how she runs then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
