Injector & "top end" cleaners

Featured Replies

Just wondering what you all use to clean your fuel injection system and to clean valves. Thanks.

I've had good results from all of the following:

 

RedLine SI-1

 

Chevron Techron

 

Sea Foam

 

Gumout Regane (not Rogane, that would cause hair to grow on your valves :rolleyes: )

For periodic "maintenance", I've had very good luck with Berryman's B-12 Chemtool. It's pretty cheap too! (I'm not sure how widely available it is.)

I like to think of it as SeaFoam Lite.

I swear by Chevron Fuel System Cleaner. It's had a bunch of different names over the years, but it's all the same stuff. I worked at a fuel company for a while, and it's the only product we sold that we guaranteed would do SOMETHING.

i picked up some cheap motomaster fuel injector cleaner and i noticed a difference on the drive home from canadian tire

shell V-power gasoline and some injector cleaner would do nicely i would think.
