Gasoline.
One problem with too many additives is that you will get metallic
deposits on your injectors. This isn't "if some is good, more must be
better" technology and the detergent isn't Joy, Palmolive, etc.
A real injector cleaner is a nasty solvent that requires direct feed,
and unless your injectors are dirty, a great wallet emptying device and
not much else. A real money maker for shops looking for Barnum's.

Re: Injector cleaner fuel additive?
OMC (Johnson Outboards) sells a 12oz bottle of"Carbon Guard" for about
$10.00 & it says to use 1 oz/15gal tank. My Scout has a bad cylinder that
fouls out the spark plug enough to cause it to seriously cough & sputter if
I use more than 2 tanks of gas without it. Runs great with it.......& not
worth a ---- without it.
And, yet.........I was reading the owners manual for '06 Tahoe........ it
tells you not to use any fuel additive & to do so may void the vehicle
warranty
Imagine that.

Re: Injector cleaner fuel additive?
Translation: If you do feel the need to use snake oil, polyether-amine based
snake oil is best. :^)
It doesn't say how much to use, either. I would think that once a year, or
perhaps once in 10,000 miles, is more than enough, not once an oil change.
See the footnote too. "Aftermarket additives are intended to be added by the
*customer*..." If you are paying your local service station or Jiffy Lube
to add this stuff, you are not following the instructions. Only the
customer is supposed to add this stuff. :^)

See the footnote too. "Aftermarket additives are intended to be added by the
*customer*..." If you are paying your local service station or Jiffy Lube
to add this stuff, you are not following the instructions. Only the
customer is supposed to add this stuff. :^)

Re: Injector cleaner fuel additive?
Translation: If you do feel the need to use snake oil, polyether-amine based
snake oil is best. :^)
It doesn't say how much to use, either. I would think that once a year, or
perhaps once in 10,000 miles, is more than enough, not once an oil change.
