lexluxury Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 HEllo...On some of my service receipts I see 'add fuel injection cleaner'. Is this something I can do myself? How often need to be done?
sha4000 Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 of course just add some to your gas tank like every other fill up
lexluxury Posted October 29, 2005 Author Posted October 29, 2005 obviously, i know next to nothing about cars. you have to start somewhere. thanks for the info. of course just add some to your gas tank like every other fill up ←
melhadri Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 Visit your local auto shop and purchase a bottle of SEAFOAM ($5)...great product...just pop it into the gas tank.
914lps Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 Welcome! You found a great place to start. Seafoam is good stuff, but Berryman's B12 Chemtool is the same and about half the price. Walmart has it in spray for cleaning things like the thoatle body, and in cans to add to your gas. If I'm recalling right one can does 20 gal., for less then $3.00 I would to it like a oil change once every 3,000 miles. You do not need it every tank or every other tank of gas. It will not hurt to use it more, but it's not going to help either. Just poor ot into the gas before you fill up. A funal is a good thing to use. You can poor it in easer without getting it on the paint. The more stop and go driving you do, the more you should use it. I do mostly hwy so I do it every 6,000 miles or so. Cleans more then just injectors.

914lps Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 Techron is great stuff and you can't go wrong with it, but I have no idea if it is better then Chemtool, or Seafoam. It is more $$$
