Cleaning Fuel Injectors

[pauly]

My car has 120,000 miles on it. I usually buy those $4 FI cleaners you throw in the gas tank. I just saw a car place that puts some stuff into the engine in 3 different areas to flush it out. Cost's $65. Is it worth it or should i just stick to the cheap stuff?

Well it depends. Are your fuel injectors clogged?

If you do plan on getting the service make sure they use BG products. While there may be other good products out there, with BG you know you're getting quality shit.

what are the 3 different areas?

I have nooooooo idea, that's why I'm asking if anyone's heard of this or anything. It was a while back but when I read the description it made sense. I just thought I'd clean out my fuel system real nice after 120,000 miles, but if i can do it for $4 why spend the rest?

 

[Lumberg]

Well if you've been using good gas and religiously putting even cheap fuel injector cleaner through your gas lines every 10,000 miles or so I don't really see a need.

Are you happy with the way your car is running? Then don't spend the money.

Do you have $65 to spare and feel it could help your car, maybe even save you more than $65 in gas over the next year? Then go ahead and do it.

Pauly,

What happened to the Wings last night? They got their asses handed to them. 6 goals on 17 shots...WTF is that?

sorry, haven't heard of it

there's no way to introduce an injector cleaner to the injectors except the fuel line via the gas tank, unless you take out the injectors.

fucking horrid,,,,,,,,i couldn't watch it any more. they have a tendency to fall asleep for games at a time, i just hope they wake up again.

He said three parts of the engine. Perhaps the service includes engine and antifreeze flush? Also on a V-type engine there could be two fuel rails thus two places to introduce Fi cleaners. Then you could also do an intake clean type of thing through a vacuum port.

I don't think we know enough about the situation to make a detailed judgement on it.

they may run a solvent through your oil line too... they did this to my old car and it purred like a kitten... then fell apart a year later.

I think it will open their eyes! I didn't expect them to sweep St. Louis anyway...they're a tough team!
