Fuel Injection cleaner
What do you guys think about those fuel additives that supposidely clean you fuel injectors? Does that actually work? How do I know if my fuel injectors need to been cleaned? Will that add any power or have any positive results at all?

Re: Fuel Injection cleaner (Wont be beat)
i heard the bottle to pour in your gas tank does not do anything. I believe the Chevron one did a little bit on a test that they had but not a whole lot. Dont believe whats on the bottle like increases horsepower and stuff

Re: Fuel Injection cleaner (Wont be beat)
it will have positive results if it works. Cleaning your injectors is always a good idea. will you notice a horsepower difference-nope. Not unless your car is running very badly because of the injectors being dirty, but don't think you should not do it if the car is running fine.

Re: Fuel Injection cleaner (SOHCkordVTEC)
They all work to some extent, as a preventative measure. Pump gas also contains additives to help clean the fuel system. The best we've found for a dirty system, either carbs or F.I. is BG Fuel Systems, 44k. Expect to pay about $20.00 a pint. Works well in the fuel tank, better if injected direct. Available through professional outlets (Mainly dealer parts depts) only. This is not a retail outlet item.

BG makes good stuff. I swear by their Synchroshift.
I've heard good things about Chevron with Techron fuel injector cleaner additive too.

Actually, it used to be 92...but I think cuz of the war, they decided to drop it to 91 so it's cheaper to make....

anyone ever hear of BG 44k? i always put this stuff in at every oil change. its good to keep your injectors clean. oh yeah, when i change my oil i put in BG MOA which supposedly keeps your oil from breaking down and keeping it in good condition.

Re: Fuel Injection cleaner
Honda mechanic told me to use Justice Bros fuel injection cleaner. That is what they use. He gave me 4 cans. Also said uses their oil additive. I have a 2002 accord ex with 123000 miles on it.

Re: Fuel Injection cleaner
Always nice to bump a 12 year old thread for a product placement.
If your fuel injectors are clogged and actually require cleaning, a fuel tank additive probably won't clean them. If you where to ever take one of these engines apart. You would see that the injectors are as clean as can be around the pintle. It is the combustion chamber and intake manifold that usually require a little cleaning after some mileage. In that case Seafoam treatment is probably the best product that I have found for doing that. Aside from steam cleaning.
As far as oil treatments... If you keep up with regular oil changes and/or use a quality oil there should be a noticeable reduction in carbon deposits and varnishing.
