Fuel Treatment
« on: July 04, 2017, 11:27:50 PM »
Who uses fuel treatment/injector cleaner in their gas tank as part of their maintenance plan?
Any difference in throttle response or performance?

I use to have a Toyota Tacoma truck that would idle real rough. Every two or three months I would add some fuel injector cleaner to a tank of gas. The engine would smooth out. It made a believer out of me.
Now I add some to my motorcycles/scooters along with fuel stabilizer and a little octane booster. All run good.
Does not seem to make much difference in performance but, engines run nice and smooth. I assume it removes carbon from the spark plug and valves.

I've found that a bit of Sea Foam in the tank and a dash of Mystery Oil are good for an engine and some Sta-bil is good for extended lay-ups.
