Re: Fuel additives - Injector cleaners

["Kris Rayner" <veritech@fix.net>]

We've used Chevron's Techron and that seems to do a good job. I like 
to add it when the tank is low so it's more concentrated.  Also works 
very good is LurboMoly Jetron, however it's difficult for Joe Shmoe 
to get it.  Try some of the repair shops and see if they have it and 
will sell it to ya.

Another good injector cleaner is a special high pressure setup sold 
by NAPA.  You actually run the car off of this stuff and it cleans 
the injectors out very thouroughly (sp?).  It's just very hard to get 
the CIS cars to run off of it very long.  So what we did is made up a 
line that screws directly into the injectors.  We then take each 
injector out individually and then hook up the NAPA fuel injector 
cleaner.  Since it's pressurized, the injectors spray until you think 
they are clean enough, since you can see the spray pattern.
