Hey everyone,
Has anyone ever used a good fuel injector cleaner? My truck now has 120,000 on it and I'm looking to do some kind of system cleaner. What about those decarboning total cleaners? any thoughts or opions? Thanks

seafoam in the fuel tank is safe. my local walmart store does injector cleaning with BG products, I think it was. They disconnect the fuel line and fuel pump fuse and then start and run the truck on pure injector cleaner pressurized by air.

Yep seafoam rocks
One of the guys on another forum I frequent swears by Chem Tool.
Fuel Additives
Here is the thread. Caution, it's a Dodge site. Yeah, I've got a Ram too, don't shun me.
4x4dodge :: View topic - Adding ATF to your gas tank. [ Guest ]
He recommends the second one down. It says it's a carburator cleaner but it works for injectors too. To be honest, I've never been able to tell much diff. after using any cleaners. I did use the Chem Tool and will again, but I think it's kinda like a vitamin thing. I don't feel a thing on a daily basis but I know that in the long run they improve my health. I wonder if this is the same. I might not feel anything but it keeps things clean so there is no slow degredation. I also have a friend who was the shop forman at a Chevy dealer for years. He swears (actuall swore by, he passed away November) that adding a can of ATF to your tank does just as well plus it helps to lube things as it goes through. Once again, don't know how good that is but at the same time there is usually a bit of fact behind those old folk remedies. I tried it and like with all the other cleaners I've used couldn't really tell anything. I think I'll keep using the Chem Tool just because, well I don't know why. I guess that's a lame reason but I figure it can't hurt.
This is what I've seen used from BG... BG Company

BG's 44K is good stuff,it's not a miracle power adder or anything,it does clean up some of the muck though.
