RE: injector cleaner

Octane is a separate issue. Each major company adds their own special blend of goodies (detergents,etc) to the gas. The cheapest gas does not. If you save money on the gas, you will have to used cleaners and detergents to clean the gunk out of your system. You want the additives that the major, legitimate companies use.

RE: injector cleaner

I was looking at the Chevron Techron bottle today and it says that it is not recomened for two cylinder air cooled engines. Has anyone used Lucas fuel treatment? I have seen cars that failed the smog test in TX pass after running a tank of the stuff.

I don't have a bottle to look at, but are you sure it said "two cylinder" and not "two cycle"? It appears that a like of guys use it.

The Lucas is all I use. This IS how I got my daughters car to pass the emmissions test here.

We put Sea Foam in all the bikes we service, and our customers all have smiles.

RE: injector cleaner

SeaFoam and Techron = overpriced additives.

ChemTool B12 is $3.00 bucks at Walmart and cleans just as well if not better.

More serious cleaning gets my vote for BG44K.

RE: injector cleaner

I have used both the Techron and Seafoam in my 1993 Ford Bronco. The Seafoam I just pull off the vacuum line from the brake booster and introduce the Seafoam into it with a funnel while the engine is running. I add about half a can, and then turn off the engine. Then I usually douche out the throttle body, and putz around with a few other things....then after about a half hour or so, I restart the engine. The first few times I did this it smoked out the block.....now when I use the same process it will smoke a bit, but only a tenth of what it did the first time. I have read that its because it was removing all the build up the first time or two.

I have never used either one in my bikes. I guess it couldn't hurt though to throw in a bit of Techron at the start of the season each year????
