Fuel Injector cleaners - Click HERE for Original Thread

RF134A
What's the difference between the different fuel injector cleaners? They seem to be priced from $1.50 for the Superstore brand to $49.95 or so for the Zmax brand. What do you use? What works?

Removing the valves and ultrasonically cleaning them is not an option.

i use the STP stuff... but I only use injector cleaner if i cant find fuel system cleaners. Cuz freakign teh selection for fuel system cleaners here sucks... Cdn tire use to carry the cheveron stuff.. then they stopped, so i used the valvoline stuff... now they stopped carryhing that too. Nothing left but prestone and Cdn tire brand for fuel system cleaners...

if you can, stay away from these type of cleaners. they dont do any good. the cleaner is way to diluted in the tank to do any good. if you want a realy good cleaning you need to run the cleaner right to the injuctors. this is the best and only way to do it. this process uses compresed air and a cleaner that your car will run on. cheers

Your fuel system is hooked to a cleaner and flushed... I seem to recall somewhere in the $140.00 range ...

i heard it works really good:

take all of your injectors out and dip them in fuel injector cleaning fluid for a while. And then use a nine volt battery to activate the injectors one by one (make sure to only have it on for just half a second and to leave the bottom end submerged under the fluid while doing this).

I think the only Fuel system cleaner worth using is the redline stuff, it all but stopped my hyundai from ticking, cleaned it right out.
