I was thinking about this today, I have been told that I might want to get the fuel injectors cleaned. I went to the store and there were all types of fuel injector cleaners, there was even a "fuel injector cleaner for dummies"!. But the manual says not to put anything in the gas tank except gas. I just wanted to know if anyone here had used a fuel injector cleaner, and if it is worth it to use one. Thanks.

 

Ever since I went to a Automotive Tech show a couple of years ago and saw a demonstration I've been using "Chevron Techron" It's hard to say it works, but I've never had a problem and my vehicles run very smooth. So I have to recommend the Chevron brand. Its in a black bottle with a blue and red logo on it. It also comes in 2 sizes.

 

no joke, sea foam. i love it

 

also bk44 found at most dealers. that stuff & the chevron techron are both the bomb. put it in with about 8~10 gallons of fuel and run it down real low. that way you have a high concentration of cleaner to help clean it quicker (IMO).

 

me too, at every oil change

 

are you putting the Sea Foam in the gas tank or vacuum line?

 

if you want to use it to clean the fuel system/injectors... you need to put it in the gas tank.

there is a lot of good fuel injector cleaner information

Pay special attention to the post by Mr_P_Body
and his claim about the official Mopar Fuel Injection Cleaner

 

Cemtool B-12 is for good for cleaning up dirty injectors. I have used it in many cars and trucks and like it a lot. Use a 16 oz can of the B-12 to 1/4 tank of gas for fast clean up. Used this one time on a carburetor in a Nissan and it worked wonders, it cleaned all the crap that was in the carb when they first made us use Alcohol blended fuel in the winter back in the mid 90's in Oregon.

 

The only "true" way to actually clean the injectors is to take it into a shop and they disconnect the fuel from the fuel rail and pressurize the system with a detergent cleanser with micron abrasives. Then they air flush them to remove any residue. If you want, keep wasting 3-4 bucks on that "bottle" that you put in the tank, the only way for that stuff to actually be any benefit is if it was about a gallon added then the vehicle run straight on it which is impossible. Or you could physicall remove each injector, clean them, and blow them off with compressed air. Most big name shops only charge somewhere in the range of about 80 bucks to do the procedure and believe me it works, I just had it done to my 2002 Ram 1500 conversion van with 69K miles on it ,and actually picked up 2 mpg. I'll have it done again in about 50K miles on my 06 QC.
