351w injector cleaning

Years ago my uncle cleaned the injectors on his Crown Vic by screwing this hose on to the shrader valve on the injector rail and a pressurised can of injector cleaner to the other end of the hose, ran the car for a min. from the stuff that was in the can til it ran out. do they still have that stuff ? it worked real good, where do i buy it ?

if the fuel filter is changed often enough then the injectors shouldnt have issues honestly. unless they are old and falling apart.

Fuel additives scare the beejeesus out of me. They ruin fuel pumps as far as I am concerned. I would go find the gumout fuel injector rail cleaner any day of the week.

I have used Berryman Fuel Injector cleaner/dump in tank, and pretty much prepared to change the pump within 3 months. I think dump in tank fuel cleaners are total garbage. and your just setting yourself up for a fuel pump change.

Most garages use the rail type cleaner for a reason. Warranty issues, I am sure. they won't tell you that, but I would put money on it.

I can see them eating holes in diaphragms in regulators and everything.

Remember, a fuel pump uses GAS as a lubricant. If you mess with the properties of the GAS, you stand a chance to wipe out your fuel pump.
