I have used the Amsoil diesel fuel concentrate additive for several years now. I don't know if it is best, it is not cheap, but I have used Amsoil products for quite some time and like them.

you're not going to clean your injectors with additives... you need to pull them to clean them.

there are additives that will help them live longer along with your injection pump...

cheapest good additive is probably the wally world super tech 2-cycle ran at 128:1 (oz per gallon) rather than 200:1 like they ran in that test chart...128:1 exceeds lubricity recommendations by bosch for the pumps and injectors..

soypower biodiesel is also great stuff to run for lubrication.
