Any Fuel System Cleaner Recommended ??

I don't eat fruit cake. Seems as if you do. You are what you eat you know. I am more of a Claxton chicken kind of guy.

I'll just leave this right here.

Whether or not seafoam works (I used to use it), I will say that this video is pretty lame and doesn't prove anything other than the point that [Not all of the smoke coming out of the tailpipe while seafoaming is carbon]. I don't think anyone would argue that. Seafoam is also advertised as having other benefits (like cleaning the fuel system) which he doesn't test.

I think what he'd have to do is have a two engines that are brand new and identical, run them both for a while. Seafoam one of them, and then dismantle the engines, scrape out all the carbon deposits and weigh them.

Seafoam truly might not be doing anything, but his video sucks as proof.

A bit touchy, eh? Relax and have some fun.

I've seen a lot of Claxton Fruit Cakes but only one person who actually ate them.

I run a bottle of Techron through the tank before every oil change. It's good stuff and using it as a PM method rather than waiting until things are gummed up is a good approach. Why pay the dealer hundreds of $$ for them to do a "fuel injector service" when you can keep them clean yourself ? Redline fuel system cleaner is also highly rated. I also add some Marvel Mystery Oil (about 6 oz) every 2-3 tankfuls. It does not serve the same purpose as Techron, it acts as a lubricant/solvent for the fuel pump and sender unit to help counteract the crappy gas we get here in CA, even the top tier brands. I find that after a tank with MMO added, the often cited problem with the gas gauge not showing a full tank when known to be topped off goes away for a while so I have pretty strong evidence of it's efficacy.

I agreed.

Mostly.

I really got benefit from the cleaners, must be far cheaper than a service.

I just tried a bottle of Royal Purple Max Clean from Pep Boys (also at Walmart for cheaper), can't say enough good things. I'm still on the tank that I added it to so I don't know if it will fall off next time I fill up but there was a noticeable difference in my car. I have about 55K miles, bought my car in AZ so I don't know what their gas is like or if the other owner used premium gas and the car always felt somewhat sluggish 1st and 2nd gear even with CAI and FI exhaust added on. With the Max Clean I feel like the car wants to go in the lower gears and it's more responsive in 3-6. Is this what it feels like when you go to higher end fuel injectors? If so that may be my next purchase.
