Re: Injector cleaners

[Eric L Ellis <elf16v@juno.com>]

The one problem with the slick 50 cleaner is that it's, for the most
part, an octane booster and does very little to clean the fuel system.
The octane booster in it gives you an instant feel of added power. While
it's true that octane boosters will raise combustion temperatures, thus
burning off some of the carbon in the combustion chamber and venting it
out of the exhaust, they don't do squat for the injectors and other
components in line before them. 'BG' and 'Red Line' both make cleaners
that carry a nice balance of detergents and additives to burn off the
carbon.

I have a problem with the 'techron' from Chevron. I know other listers
love that stuff, but one tank was about 13 gallons too much for me.
