Default RE: clean fuel injector

This is the proper way to clean the fuel system.
I have never seen a miracle in a bottle dumped into the fuel tank that cleans the injection.
When I clean a fuel injection system I use a injection system cleaning pressure tank connected to the schrader valve on the fuel. You disable the fuel pump in the car and unplug the regulator vaccume. Connect air to the tank filled with injector cleaning fluid (not a gas additave) and gas and run the motor until the car dies. Then you must reconnect the fuel system and run the car to clear out the injection cleaning fluid because it is corosive and can damage the fuel system if left in there. I clean my injectors once a year it only takes about 15 miniutes.
I use a tank similar to this one when I clean injections.
