They can help but dont go overboard, by what ive seen Seafoam tends to help the most. As said before they mostly help with slight hesitations. And a last note go with a fairly trusted name not just a knockoff.

Do Fuel System Cleaners Work
2016-10-04 06:32:18 · answer #2 · answered by ? 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
Yes, but the treatments you get at the dealer are the best. The treatments you buy to pour in your gas tank are very diluted. They have to be so they don't melt the plastic in your tank and fuel lines, or damage the sensors in your fuel tank. If you want a good fuel system service see your dealer for a Wynn's fuel system treatment... They work great.
When the dealer performs your service they are able to use a much higher concentration of chemicals because it is hooked up to the fuel rail and the engine runs solely on the cleaning chemical. This process works wonders... Hope this helps!!!

Depends. Most newer cars, 2000 and up roughly,
have coated injectors that are robust against collecting
debris.
For a very old car with high miles, it might be worth the $ to try it.
But the only method that really works is one done by a professional with a machine to do so.

Mostly, yes.
If you have used one, with no discernable difference, have your vehicle's engine professionally maintained with a fuel cleaning service
Most major auto service centers can provide this service for under $100
Look for the ASE or ASC sign
We are the good guys (and gals)

if you use a good one yes, me personally I recommend Lucas upper cylinder lubricant and injector cleaner. works very well in all vehicles gas or diesel and will not void any warranty. They also make a complete line of additives that work very well. I have used their products for several years now

YES depending on the extent of your problem, i.e. have you less gas mileage, hesitation? If so try a bottle, following the mfg. directions. If you get an improvement, it worked, if not then you may want to take it to a reliable shop. Certainly worth a try and will not hurt

They work if your injectors aren't badly clogged. If you feel a slight hesitation try a bottle down the fuel tank will typically fix the problem.

I work for a car dealer and we flush injectors with a machine all the time. On old and new cars, works good.
