what injector cleaner?

[Rosscup]

hey guys i have just recently discovered that i have dirty injectors (hints the poor gas mileage) i just picked up some lucas injector cleaner that you put in your gas tank. the real question is what kind of injector cleaner (any kind, put in the tank or fuel rail) have you guys had luck with?

Thanks

I have used Chevron Techron now for about 10 years. It doesn't create too much extra heat, but seems to do a really good job. Had it in my Probe GT, 9 Taurus SHO's, an SC, and all of my trucks and Ex's. Never had an issue with it. Dump it in and go.

I had the best experience with the Motorcraft stuff. I had access to one of those pressurized cans (put 30psi of pressture to it) that connects to the fuel rail.

You pinch off the return line, turn off the fuel pump (I used the tip over switch for that) and then run the truck on the cleaner. I used a full bottle and it made a difference (the injectors were "dripping" before I cleaned them)..

I did that back when my injectors has well over 200k miles on them (with no cleanings or bottle additives). Since then I run a bottle of lucas every once in a while (I actually run two bottles in a single tank full which only last me 3 days).
