DO fuel injector cleaners really work
if they do what is the best kind

is there any other way to clean fuel injectors if the cleaners dont work

 

My Ram's fuel injectors are 10 years old and they have 136,000 miles on them. I have never done an injector cleaning. I have used a quality gas additive like Amsoil's Performance improver or Techron.

Most of the time when you have performance problems, they are caused by worn spark-plugs/ wires/ dist cap, worn out O2 sensors, a heavily carboned combustion chamber, a plugged fuel filter, and lastly a sludged up engine due to running cheap oil.

The injector cleanings were made popular by the "Quick Lube" facilities that are looking for profitable services to help pay their rent.

Bill,

 

I work for a municipality and our motorpool mechanics recommend BG44K. They claim it does help.

 

i dont know much about injectors but i have a camaro and had the shop do that 3 stage high pressure fuel system cleaning or whatever it is, man did that make a difference! it was like new again! if i remember correctly it may have been as high as a buck fifty though
