WTK: Fuel Treatment

[Olivia425]

Hi y'all. Wanted to know which fuel treatment i can use to clean my injector. I have read that some fuel treatments are preventative and some can be used to remove carbon deposits and clean the injector. Of course if that fails will have to take the car to get the injectors serviced. Thanks in advance.

Hey, if you really want to get your injectors cleaned take it to a garage. Costs about $250 average. You can use the injector treatment every other refill to maintain it. Typical injector treatment is every 20 000 k. My 2 cents.

Check the tech treads.....lots of good advice e on fuel treatment there.....

Amsoil and redline are two of the better ones u can can by and if used regularly u never need to service them

[Slartibartfast]

Been using redline for a couple years now without problem.

With modern engines, it is a pain to service injectors. I used to do it myself with my QG18 engine, but with all the integrated intake manifold of the tiida, that is no longer an option as you have to replace the gasket whenever you crack the bolts. Best use a redline before every oil change. I service injectors and clean TB when changing spark plugs, which is like every 75K as every damn thing is already off of the head and I need to by a new gasket anyway.

Amsoil, redline, liquimoly are all pretty good

[Rayden6]

Bought a fuel treatment it's a tablet works flawlessly cant seem to get it anymore

I use redline a little bit before my oil changes. Just follow the instructions and add it to a near empty tank then full up the tank afterwards.

Depending on where you go, you could get it for 80-100$

I is use the Liquimoly

I've had good luck with fuel treatments like Sea Foam or Chevron Techron. They're pretty effective at cleaning out those pesky carbon deposits and gunk in the injectors.

how do y'all ascertain the effectiveness of treatments? Borescope inspection? Injector bench tests before / after etc?

Before treatment - Less Fyahz

Fuel treatment enroute treats 60Gal both gas and diesel need some ppl to use and give there reviews.

Ent modern gasoline formulations already have ethanol (octane rating) and cleaners already added? And nowadays with direct injection there is less build up now compared to port injection because the fuel burns more efficiently on proper timing without knock on each cycle. Plus I have read how people put ATF fluid and even vodka in the gas tank to mix and claim it cleans the pistons as well. Yeah vodka ethanol has a percent water in it and the vehicle still running, there are youtube videos. Modern cars not carburetors.

Anyway I think for those GumOut type cleaners to work as advertised you need to use it at every tank refill. There is no way one single treatment is going to clean and clear up any deposits significantly in real world trials.

[Rayden6]

Only one way to find out if the treatment I'm bringing works, I guarantee you'll see a difference in the first tank,you will fell a difference

[Dave]

Throwing Lucas in the mix. Works for both gasoline and diesel.
I do a plug pull before and after. Audibly you can also hear how much noise the injector is making after a treatment.
Many years ago when I used to do the redline bulks deals, we did a plug soak in various cleaners to see results.

[eitech]

Never felt any difference after using fuel treatment. Redline.
Only when the injector cleaning was done by a guy on the forum then yeah. That was noticeable.

[Dave]

Redline ten use Vs the one use now is chalk and cheese.
You are better off with kerosene $25 ones.

[gastly369]

Chevron Techron seems to be the "premium go to cleaner"

Think project farm did a test cant remember if he did or not tbh

[viedcht]

I experiment with Suzuki m16a engine, no treatment 4yrs, just fill super only in one np station, no treatment, oil+filter service every 5k miles. Tank never got any sediments, no major buildup (only light varnish on valves)anywhere noticeable on head when pulled for recommended 100k service. Injectors were clean, injector filters had no clogs or sediments.
