Re: [tech] [gas tank] pre-transfer pump tanks [FI]

I suppose the mileage you'll get from cleaning injectors depends on 
what's causing the problem: if they are worn or the debris is too big to 
be broken down by the ultrasonic then it will be a waste of time.  It 
also depends a lot on how much you are going to be charged to get them 
cleaned.
I haven't had my own injectors cleaned like this but,  as I mentioned, 
my friend with the VR6 conversion had his done,  with pretty good 
results. One point to note tho' is that the donor car had done < 10,000 
miles and the injectors are the more expensive electronic ones so there 
was good reason to suppose that they would clean OK.
