Injector cleaning
Hey guys looking at filling my fuel bowl up with comecleaner what do you all recommend. I’m here in Kansas City. I’ve heard ofpeople using seafoam but wanted to get a few opinions. Trucks got alittle over 245k on it and about a year ago i used seafoam and it seemed to help out but just seeing what everyone else is doing.

Once every 3 or 4 tanks i will run 1 little bottle of lucas injector cleaner/fuel treatment.
Just pulled my sticks and did new orings...
After 403k miles...
The worst injector(dirtiest) had zero blockage on any of the nozzle ports.
Ill fire up the desktop here in a little while and post an image.
I have heard of guys using atf in the fuel tank... about 1 quart of new fluid per full tank.
Same with motor oil... (dino, not synth)

I wouldn't run a straight injector cleaner in the fuel bowl. While it may clean the injectors, it may also damage them due to a lack of lubricity. Most injector cleaners use a "scrubbing action". You get better cleaning over a period of time by adding them to your tank than flushing them with a high concentration for a short period. Also, Seafoam is not on my short list of recommended cleaners. Just my 2 cents.

I use Diesel kleen and TW3 2-cycle oil with every fill up. Keeps them lubed and QUIET.
Also I would do some research on the ATF. I believe that is old school and not recommended any longer due to the detergents etc that are now in the ATF. I'm just going on the consensus of what I have read.
