Kind of makes you wonder why diesel injectors get fouled?

I used it many times in my Beetle by trickling it into the carb while the
engine was running at 2K rpm. It made HUGE clouds of smoke but it did seem
to clean it up and it did run better. I did this before an oil change. This
was Italy '91-'94 and I was running leaded fuel.
I would have concerns about what it might do to injectors and/or the oxygen
sensor.
