Re: Throttle Body Cleaning On JGC V-8
Doing it that way wouldn't clean the throttle body at all since only air
flows through the throttle body. Any cleaner placed in the fuel tank would only be seen by the injectors and combustion chamber that is located well below the throttle body itself.

That cleaner is fairly weak and relies on time to dissolve the junk.

Re: Throttle Body Cleaning On JGC V-8
Remember the major gasolines include the additives required to
clean every part of your engine, like in addition it produces vapors that clean the blow-by tubes and Positive Crankcase Ventilation valve.

Exceptions are Costco (who makes their gas I don't know) and a single station called Super Petrol. Everything else is ARCO, Shell, Chevron, Unocal, Mobil and Exxon. I usually buy Chevron because it is on the way to work. I quit buying my occasional tank of Costco when they stopped taking credit cards. (They still take their own, and AMEX, but my 13 years in banking taught me to steer clear of AMEX cards!) Regards, DAve |
