Fuel injection cleaner necessary?

[okloneranger]

Does anyone out there use (on a regular basis) FI cleaner added to their gas as a preventative maintenance? If so what and how often. Thanks

IF you are using good quality gas like Shell on each fill up, you should not have to add fuel additives as they have detergents in them already. If your engine is running smoothly you are waisting money using those additives.

1TONY1 has an injector testing and cleaning machine if you want to do it.

Thanks guys, I do use the best premium 100% gas (91 octane) I can find all the time, I was just wondering if there was ever a need for the cleaners.

Just because you find gas without ethanol doesn't mean it has the best cleaning agents in it. If you are not running gas that has cleaning agents added (like Chevron or Shell) I would occasionally run a bottle of Techron to keep deposits from forming. Chevron was putting Techron in their gas long before ethanol was ever added.

or dump a can of seafoam in the tank once a year, i do it in the winter storage to preserve the gas
