Anyone try this stuff? http://www.lucasoil.com/products/display_products.sd?iid=26&catid=2&loc=show People at Autozone think it good for cleaning fuel injection system, etc me@privacy.net wrote in article <e6u3b35ea38gh14un0bn8r2cnvc46g10dq@4ax.com>... > Anyone try this stuff? http://www.lucasoil.com/products/display_products.sd?iid=26&catid=2&loc=show It's ALL snake oil.... > People at Autozone think it good for cleaning fuel > injection system, etc People at Autozone KNOW it's good for the bottom line!!! "ChemTool" liquid is the only thing that I have ever found that actually works. I put a full can in a 1/4 full gas tank and run it down as low as possible before filling up with gas. Works for me.

The 3M fuel injector cleaner system works quite well, but it's a bit involved and more expensive initially given the $100+ for the equipment, after that the cans of cleaner are pretty cheap and the total cost isn't unreasonable. You can order the 3M setup from a good auto parts place.

Looks like abt $200 or more to me > >The 3M fuel injector cleaner system works quite well, but it's a bit > >involved and more expensive initially given the $100+ for the equipment, > > $100 for the equip? > > Looks like abt $200 or more to me Inflation. Good system though, hard to beat for convenience and cheap enough once you have the equipment. >Anyone try this stuff? > >http://www.lucasoil.com/products/display_products.sd?iid=26&catid=2&loc=show > >People at Autozone think it good for cleaning fuel >injection system, etc It's a soap, mixed with some light hydrocarbon vehicle. It will keep gunk in the fuel line in suspension, and it will maybe clean some stuff out of the fuel injection system. It's basically the same detergent that is already in the gasoline you buy, just more of it. If, however, you actually have a gunked-up fuel injection system or a dirty throttle body and intake, there is no gasoline additive that will help you. You need to actually go in and do some scrubbing. Some of the stuff that is added to the air intake, like Sea Foam, can help with gunked up intakes, but it's still a lot less effective than pulling the thing apart and working with the rag and some carb cleaner. --scott  Signature"C'est un Nagra.

Check out the 3M fuel injector cleaner setup, it's close to bench cleaning the fuel injectors, without actually having to remove them from the vehicle since it runs 100% cleaning solution through the injectors. Pete C. 1 pint, more or less of clear 1K kerosene will be the most effective in my experience. Use it at fill-up and you'll see results after the 2nd tankfull. In essence, its the same product STP or any of the other on the shelf brands use. I particularly LOVE STP's tag line...made with JET FUEL!!! (read-kereosene) too funny.

The 3M system bypasses the tank and delivers 100% cleaner to the injectors. |
