Fuel system cleaning

I was getting my oil changed a couple weeks back… did not have time to do it myself and they guy there “as usual” suggest a couple things for you to do so they can make a couple extra clams. Usually I do myself things they suggest, rad fluid change… tranny oil change… and I have a CAI so they don’t do the air filter.

Therefore I am wondering when I got my oil changed this time around when they told me fuel system cleaning was needed were they just pulling for some way to make a couple more bux off me?

Does someone have a link on a “how to” for the fuel system cleaning… if its complex and I actually should get it done?

Thanx

I had BG44k Fuel system cleaning service done to my car..After this service, it definetely made a difference it to the low end power.Felt more responsive...definetely worth it, in my opinion.

I think all they'll do is run a fuel system/injector cleaner through your engine. BG44k is good, but $20/can. Alternatively go to walmart and buy the techron concentrate for around $6. I've done it on both my vehicles, though in honesty I can say I noticed nothing. However, if I have noticed something then I probably left it too late

on the Techron... I highly doubt the shops actually disassemble/clean out the injectors/fuel rails for 100 bucks (which is what I have seen as a typical charge for fuel-system or fuel-injector cleaning).

Perfect thanx for the info guys.... this site alone is the reason my max will run 10 years longer then it should lol

Just one last quick question... the guys wanted $60 to do the fule system cleaning..... PLEASE dont tell me all they were going to do is dump a bottle down my tank and make a $43 profit?
