Techron is widely regarded as the one of the best "in-tank" fuel injector cleaners. You don't normally use it with every tank (you could buy Chevron or Texaco gas to get the equivalent of that). A bottle with a fillup (put the bottle in before filling - helps with mixing) maybe once a year or two. For really dirty injectors, a double treatment may help. If that doesn't do it, then it's off to a rebuilder with the injectors for professional cleaning. I've used these folks before, with good results: http://www.cruzinperformance.com/fuelinj.html |
