Most of them work, but not well. If you are looking for one that does work well...go to NAPA and get their 2 can fuel injector cleaner. Put 1 in and 5000 miles later put in the other can. It works Great.

no not really because what you are doing is just cleaning out your fuel tank and then clogging your fuel filter with all the garbage that's in your tank. My advice is to go with an engine cleaner that hooks up to one of your vacuum lines on your engine. these cleans will take about ten to fifteen minutes to use because you have to let your car sit and idle but this is the best way to clean out your injectors as well as the valves and your combustion chambers.

Yes. I recommend Lucas fuel injector cleaner.You put in one ounce for every 10 gallons of gas. get the quart or gallon size and put alittle in every 3 fill ups. You should be able to get about 5 uses out of one bottle

Yes, they do work. I used that on my truck and it ran extremely well even well past 100,000 miles with no major problems of any kind. I also used to take it to a shop and get the fuel system flushed atleast twice a year.

Most of them don't. Check before using. Two of the best on the market are BG 44K and Chevron Teck Ron.

Yes, if you make it habit of using them frequently. Occasional use does no good unless you are adding lots if it over a half-dozen fill-ups.
I like them because they keep varnish out of my carbs and rust out of my tanks.
However, if you do not plan on keeping the car for a long time - like those of you out there who don't change your oil or maintain your cars, then there's no benefit.

No not really. Best thing to do is pull them and send them to a company like this.
