Hello, this is kind of random but I was wondering what is the strongest concentration of fuel injection cleaner or cleaner in general you guys have used in your car?

I recently used a bottle of Chevron Techron (and not the watered down version either!) in only 5 gallons of gas. And it was I was supposed to used it in 12 gallons or a full tank

And surprisingly I actually noticed improvement, before I thought that my lack of Ooomph! was because of a back knock sensor but after running those five gallons I regained that Ooomph! like that sort of force that pushes you back in the seat when you push the gas down a little bit.

But also my car had a period where it ran EXTREMELY rich because of a bad MAF and so I am pretty sure my valves, spark plugs, and cylinders were pretty dirty to begin with. So have you guys ever decided to try and run something pretty concentration through your engine and had noticeable improvement?

 

IF i use a cleaner its chevron techron other than that...i dont use anything

 

I think Seafoam is much better than any other over the shelf product. When I had my Dodge, I bought from the dealer a product called combustion chamber cleaner, that stuff was great!!

the best injector cleaner though in all seriousness... is using the correct 91 octane for your car.

*edited i use 93 but most places only have 91 available

 

 

Every now n then at about a half a tank, I'll put in a gallon of 110 octane.

 

Oh I use the highest octane I can get all the time. Its just that when my MAF went out I spent about a week trying to diagnose since no CEL came on and during that time I would try to start the car and let it run to do tests and such and it would aways stall from being flooded along with lots of smoke and rotten egg smells.

Anyways when I fixed the problem I check my plugs and each of them were pitch black and so I can only imagine what the other parts of the engine will be like.

 

And where do you get this kind of gas from??

Also, I know cashoit is going to put Chevron is the best on the market

 

I usually use Seafoam Deep Creep or Lucas fuel injector cleaner but I do it every time I change my oil.

I also run 91+ octane gas.

 

Snake Oil & Marketing will clean your engine the best!
And if you don't use 93+ octane your engine will self distruct.
We all know what our owners manual says about fuel grade, but...

 

Here we go again.... why not just give him links to EVERY Octane argument thread for the forums....it would only give us 250+ results...

 

First of all this is in the wrong forum

I have used Chevron Techron, Gumout Regane and mostly recently Chevron Techron fuel system concentrate. I followed the instructions and less than 10 miles later I threw a code and ended up having to replace a fuel injector. Something must have gotten dislodged and screwed up the injector. I found a place I can get it tested at and cleaned ultrasonically, or something like that for $25. Hopefully I can keep it as a backup.

BG44K is a stronger cleaner. Based on my experience, you have to be careful with this stuff.

 

a family member of mine is a nissan master Tech. he said DO NOT use any injector cleaners as long as you use a high octane gas because it will casue the carbon build to cling to the screen of your injectors...it actually harms the injectors more than it helps them

 

You guys are no fun at all... so far there is only one or two person who posted something on topic. Well anyways here is a link to a forum where I got the idea, its pretty interesting to see the results some people get from using the cleaner and not diluting it down all that much.

Any race supply or track will have it. 110, 115 & 20 if im not mistaken. I just use 110 octane.

 

Hey I was wondering, when you changned your fuel injector, was it hard? Did you change the front ones. I have two bad fuel injectors in the front Or (left side of the engine) and they have my car eating gas. Car still runs good but you know it bothers the heck out of me that my car isnt working with 6 cyclinders.

 

this is def. a thread for cashoit dude swears by this stuff
