Another option would be to remove the fuel filter cap, pull out the filter, drain the water separator, and refill the canister with straight Stanadyne. Replace the filter and cap, and fire 'er up. For the first few seconds you'd be running on straight Stanadyne, which will clean your injectors very nicely.
That's what big rig mechanics do. I've heard it from a number of them.

wy go to stanadyne.com and read there fuel treatment q&a and there comparisons, this is strait from the injector manufaturer. i only run stanadyne performance through my trucks. makes it so i can run #2 year round also, no matter where i am. ATF is actually a solvent but you get more ash residue from burn off so your adding more crud to the inside of your motor. also the stanadyne is the only one ford and navistar approve of for use.
