I heard that if you add "transmission fluid" to your fuel injectors, that it is bettter than any fuel injector cleaner; is this ture?
Has anyboby used this method and has any information about it - how much fluid, how much to add to the fuel tank, advantages/disadvantages of using this transmission fluid, etc, etc.

Some heavy equipment operators will do this in a diesel on occasion,but it won't help a gas engine.It might even make more trouble by fouling the plugs and leaving deposits,not to mention the damage to the oxygen sensor and catalytic converter.

No,Don't do that.If you really need to clean your injector's,(the right way)take it to a service station and have them do a fuel system flush.It usaually cost around $100 but it's the right way.Those little cleaners from store are made for long term use to help against carbon build up.
