So whats everyones favorite? Reason? Its been a while since I had to buy any for a gas engine. TIA- Tim

 

Acetone for a basic cleaner...for general maintenance, marvel mystery oil

 

Seafoam!!!

 

As fuel inj. cleaner? Really? I didn't know that. How much do you use per tank and how often? Thanks for the replies!

 

I usually use Lucas Oil, but how do you put it in there without making a freakin mess?

 

dont normally post here but i saw this thread...i've been using chevrons injector cleaner its call techron. a buddy of mine owns a service station in my town and he claimed that 80% of cars that need a fuel injector cleaning wind running real good with this stuff. pour it right in the fuel tank.

Soooo.... how often? I used to use fuel conditioner every tank in the diesel, so what are we looking at for a gasser, every couple thousand? Every oil change? 90F1505.0L, can you put it in a smaller bottle or something? I'm not familiar with the Lucas and its packaging. Is it a big bottle or something?
EDIT: Sounds like I have many choices, I guess I'll try a few and see how each works.

 

I tried just about one of every kind years ago. I noticed a fuel mileage boost on the tank with the cleaner in it and then the same old same old after that tank was gone. I'm letting you be my guinea pig to decide what I use, if anything. Make sure you report back.

 

Seafoam.....

 

Run a couple of cans of Techron every oil change. You get six packs of Techron fuel injector cleaner at Costco for a reasonable price...think it was 15 bucks last time.

 

Lucas Fuel Treatment every other tank or two.

 

I have owned my fair share of Ford trucks with fuel injected motors. Two of them went just over 300,000 miles before we had to get rid of them. I have never used over the counter fuel injector cleaner, and never had to have a injector cleaning service done. I always buy Chevron gas and have for almost 32 years because they gave me a card when I had just started my business.
For many years Chevron has had Techron in their gasoline and that seems to be enough. I am a nail bender not a mechanic, but my trusted mechanic feels fuel injector cleaner is a waste of time and money in a well maintained vehicle.
My wife and both daughters drive Honda vehicles, and my wife's Odyssey has over 200,000 miles on it. All three of these cars are of course fuel injected with no injector issues ever. And that is my story and I am sticking to it. Your mileage may vary.

 

Go away Troll!

 

Brad it seems to me that one of the several mentioned would do the job sufficiently. Sounds like, to me anyway, that one of them is better than not doing anything at all? Are you getting the same impression? I'll check out BJ's wholesale club as it is closest to see what they have to offer. If nothing else I can stop in Advance Auto or Wallyworld as they are on the way home from work.
