Fuel System Cleaners
Almost every modern vehicle has some form of a fuel injection system in it. The injection system’s function is to spray gasoline into a cylinder of the engine. However, fuel injectors can get clogged.
Once an injector becomes clogged it will spray fuel at irregular patterns into the engine. This will cause your performance and gas mileage to suffer.
When the injector is clogged, you will have a few options; you can have the injector replaced, or you can use a good fuel injector cleaner. Trying an injector cleaning product will be the least expensive option.
Here are some of the fuel system cleaners that are currently available.
LUCAS OIL FUEL TREATMENT
Lucas Fuel Treatment is formulated for both gasoline and diesel engines, carbureted or fuel injected. It gives your fuel system what it really needs – a blend of super slick oils and additives with a high detergent action that allows the engine to operate at maximum efficiency. Also, it cleans and lubricates the carburetor and injectors and causes the fuel to burn more thoroughly for increased power and less fuel consumption.
