I was at the part store today looking at the fuel system and injector cleaners and i didn't really know what to buy or how well it would work. and the people there aren't much of a help. so i figured i would ask here. my dad said he was told that injector cleaner could cause clogs cuz it breaks down the carbon and stuff but he said ask some one else cuz he ain't to sure about that.
can any one help me out ??

 

ive always used Outlaw....and ive liked it...they make one for "sport compact" engines...

 

I used outlaw, gave me like 40 more hp no but really I used the outlaw and also I've used tachron, I like the tachron better.

 

i was looking at the valvoline stuff.

 

4oHP huh, do you drive a Honda? As far as I have seen they are all about the same.

 

haha thats funny... my bumper stickers give me 10hp each [sm=happy046.gif]

I live and die by SeaFoam, IMO best stuff out there. I add a can every oil change and havent ever had a fuel problem yet, (well there was the one time when i was changing the fuel filter and those stupid fittings they have on the Dodge fllters didnt completly grab).

 

Interesting you mention SeaFoam - I understand you can use it in many ways - you can add to fuel to clean the system - or you can add it to your engine oil to clean from that way as well - Have you tried adding it to you oil?? curious what kind of results you get. I am in the process of rebuilding my engine - I am amazed how much carbon build up there was! The pic on top is my Piston from the engine and the piston on the bottom is a brand new piston

im gonna have to look into it more before i use it.... does any one know if any thing can go wrong using it ?? like if u never did it before could things go wrong the first time or if u don't keep up with it ?

 

I have not heard of anything going wrong - I always questioned the use of Engine Cleaners - most are oil thinners and they suggest that you run your engine for a few minutes with the cleaner and then immediately change your oil - I always questioned it since you ran it thru your engines - does it not leave any residue?
