I have never used one.
I have (however) used Dry Gas (Methel Alcohol) once or twice during the winter.

If you've got an injector which needs cleaning, you'll need something stronger than what could be put in your tank!

Not sure if this stuff works but I would never use them on my 1000cc injectors or my fuel pump

Guess I am just paranoid but I dont trust stuff like that

The only products I've ever put in the engine (other than Motor Oil, Antifreeze etc) has been Marvel Mystery Oil (Top Cylinder Lube), GM Top Engine Cleaner (De-carboning Agent), Rislone (Sludge removing Agent) and Dry Gas.
Depending where you live (and the winter's you experience), you might want to stash a can of WD40 in your emergency supplies tote. Not only will it lube a s**t load of things, but it will also dry off wet ignition wires (displace any moisture) and temporarily allow the engine to start (which previously wouldn't).
