On October 19th I have another New Fuel injector cleaner video.
Oil Filter Friday,
Watch a New Automotive oil filter inspection video every Friday on this UA-cam channel.
I use B12 exclusively. Car runs more responsive, more power & better gas mileage. 3 bucks a can at Walmart.
Thanks for your feedback, the B12 and Gumout are my two favorites.👍🙏😊
I've put Berrymans B12 up against other brands like Lucas and seafoam lol 🤣 and gumout is the only one that is a good alternative. Berrymans is also great to run in crankcase for about 20 minutes before oil change it really cleans up your engine and their carb and throttle body cleaner is awesome it takes less because it eats carbon build up so much quicker. If you have an older carbureted engine pour directly in as you work the throttle and it will clean the hell out of everything lol 🤣 great video
@@robertvance1873 Never heard of using it in the crankcase. I assume you just idle it like a commercial flush?
Injection system may be clogged before going in to combustion chamber. You are showing what liquid cleans dirty spark plugs. injectors are not clogged by carbon because there is no carbon in fuel tank. Injectors are clogged by rust and other rubbish from the fuel tank. There is many injectors cleaners on the market. You can add half bottle when your fuel tank is close t reserve make few miles and top up. (Do not use cleaner with full tank of fuel because it will not clean much).Every time you stop the engine with some cleaner inside injector it dissolve some dirt. Thanks for reading my comment. Hope that helps.
Hi Thomas,
Excellent advice, Thanks for sharing👍🙏😊
I love B12. When I inherited my dad's '87 Chevy Silverado it had been sitting for a few years due to his illness. Mom drove it regularly and said she kept fresh fuel in it. She knew it had dual tanks but she didn't see that it had fuel filler doors on both sides, so in reality it only had fresh gas in the left tank.. When I got low on the left and flipped to the other it sputtered and died. The gas cap on the right tank smelled like lacquer thinner. I poured 8 cans of B-12 into the 3 year old gas and I was able to drive it out and refill with fresh gas. It got me home from Oklahoma to New Orleans where I had an injector cleaning service done. I swear by that stuff.
Cool story! 👍Thanks for sharing.😊
Thanks, good story.....perhaps , shows after couple years what gasoline’s Degrade to, Etc....sounds like a Soloution also (8 cans B12,)....
I've been using Chemtool B-12 as an induction/intake cleaner for over 20yrs with very good results and find it more economical for some of my customers with the same or in some cases better results than Seafoam
I just bought a vehicle that had been sitting for a few years. I also live in New Orleans. Do you mind sharing the name of the shop that serviced your fuel injectors? Les se bon temps roulet!
@@carlorocky That was 1991 and I've slept since then (I think). Pretty sure it was a generic Jiffy Lube. We were in Chalmette, now Picayune thanks to Katrina (that bitch).
Here’s a thing to make note of the b12 breaks down carbon very aggressively as in all your tests which is fine if you are going on a road trip or something the car can get it out. But the gumout turns the carbon to a liquid which is much easier for the injectors to pass but also to exit the exhaust. Just a thought for everyone tuning into stuck between the two. Great video!
Thank You!😊👍
I really appreciate this video and the information u shared. Ur a good man. And may god bless you and your family. Thank u
You're welcome very much,
and Thank You, God Bless.👍🙏😊
In case you missed it, here's a link to a newer video I made with six fuel cleaners. ua-cam.com/video/KiWu9vthaEo/v-deo.html&ab_channel=WhipCityWrencher
Really passionate about fuel injector cleaners ig🤣🤣
The Lucas fuel system treatment worked wonders for me. My truck had a slight bump in the idle since it was brand new. On one of my SC to N.H. trips I ran two tanks of super with a bottle of Lucas in each tank and the bump in the idle is gone after 5 years.
I wish he would have added Lucas in this test. My Brother, Rest his Soul, Swore by Lucas. He worked on old Imports, and fleet vehicles. He was the best Mechanic I have ever met. He was a walking encyclopedia on foreign, and domestic.
@@myconighthe was smart. Lucas is a great product. Just be careful if you ever use their oil stabilizer. That stuff is THICCCCC. Start small and work your way up. Their transmission fix is the best in the biz tho
you hit the nail on the head!...we use dollar tree injector to start our camp fires..it's basically rubbing alcohol...
B12 is some powerful stuff...I would only use it if I could run through the whole tank in short order. I have an old ford bronco I keep at the ranch. regularly added B12 when I'd bring out 5 gallons or so at a time for it. In time, it ate up the entire plastic float for the fuel gauge; probably scoured the interior of the tank lining too. I ended up replacing the fuel tank. Now I use seafoam on that truck.
Wow, I guess too much of a good thing is not good.
Thanks for sharing your experience with that cleaner.👍
I noticed the float on my fuel pump is a cushion foam like substance.
Do you think B12 would eat that too ?
wow thanks for the heads up!
@@dfls5069 probably
It's me again brother.. I wanna say again U are a Great man. And may god continue to Bless you and ur family. I have a Mercedes Benz S600 now I know what fuel injector cleaner to buy for my cars. Thank you my man. Levi.
Your Welcome! and Thank You!👍🙏😊
From canada 🇨🇦. I used gumout on my srx caddy 2010 . Made super smooth . Before that I had a shake on 3,4 gear . After using 3 bottles gumout continuously . My car shift nicely and way faster than before I sware it
Hi, Jay from Canada,
Thanks for sharing👍
I'm gonna try gum out, it looks like it collected the most grime 👍
I would say the same..?!?! Buuut it looked a lot cleaner than the B12 spark plug going in.. ://
I wish this was a more honest comparison… ?
Good video I like watching comparisons the b12 is a good soaker cleaner the gumout with pea is amazing at cleaning carbon off pistons. You should try the amsoil power improver
I like the B12 also👍.
Read my pinned comment, I'm doing another video soon and Amsoil is one of the cleaners I'll be using.
Thanks for watching.👍😊
Berryman's is an incredible product. The best there is. Thanks
And cheap in price too. Thanks for your feedback.👍😊
B12
Additives with PEA and Italian tune up regularly once every 3000 miles make engine happy. I do it for many years
That sounds about Right, thanks for sharing!👍🙏😊
@Green Bastard
I don't recommend it to people who don't know what they are doing, because they could damage the engine. But It should be okay, especially If you do a lot of city driving. Just don't overdo it.
Thanks for video. I bought about $10.00 worth of the dollar tree crap (10 bottles). Have (suspected) dirty injectors in Ford Ranger which did not improve at all even though I used one bottle for only two gallons gas. You showed me why. I'll get a bottle of the gumout today and see if improved results. Regards from Florida...
You are Welcome!👍😊
The stuff with the PEA is probably one of the best IMHO.
any improvement with gumout??
@@aircommandslipperz Actually no. I can't tell because it wasn't a problem with dirty injectors or filters. I believe it's the mother brain which can bewilder the brightest minds. Still trying to find fix. Going to try a new/used brain for vehicle.
I would suggest weighing eat spark plug before and after and then measuring how much lighter each one got after the treatment , because you can't be sure how much Gunk they each had. Like if I each plug had different amounts of buildup because each cylinder might have been firing differently running either richer or leaner.
Brilliant suggestion!
I used Berrymans on my 2015 Audi A3 2.0 Turbo Quattro with 75K miles and it worked GREAT! I was having some sluggish starts and it was worse with the AC on. After adding this it was like a new car.
That's Great!
I like the Berymans also.
Thanks for watching and your feedback, I greatly appreciate it.👍🙏😊
Great video! A fuel injector cleaner with the pea Additive is the way to go. Definitely try Red line SR1 fuel injector cleaner, and amsoil p.i Performance improver cleaner. 2 top notch products!!
Thanks for the compliment 👍 and suggestion's. 😊
I've never used to b 12 But it looks great.
I know that Gum out Always does a good job.
But that B12 stuff looks even better
I like the B12 also, it's pretty strong stuff👍.
I have another fuel cleaner video airing tomorrow at 5am with a few more different fuel additives, so don't forget to watch it and hit the like button if you like the video. Thank You!😊
@@WhipCityWrencher kewl!!!!
B12 very good used it on my truck engine and my Yamaha 4 stroke outboard engine very good
Thanks; I brought gumout today before this video; something told me to stick with it and not put it back. So far so good
Yep, I think anything that has the PEA in it, will be good stuff.
Thanks for your feedback.👍🙏😊
B&G by far the best add to tank cleaner made....there is a reason it costs 20 bucks...it actually works.
I never tried it for that price it should be good.👍🙏🙌
Bg 44k
I use two bottles of smb fuel cleaner and half tank of gas. Had the engine light on for months with catalytic converter code and time came for a smog test in California, ran about 100 miles. Check engine light went off and I passed the smog test.
So does Smb fuel injector cleaner work or not? My local store has a lot of them at very good pricing
@@dydydddydy8543 Yes, it's really good stuff of you can get it for $2 or less
Very nice video bro super injector cleaner nice video thank you bro👍🔧
Your Welcome, Thanks for your feedback.👍🙏😊
B12 is what i have used for years. I might give gumout a try and see how I like it
I think they were pretty equal in this test.
Thanks for watching and your feedback👍😊
Great video and I subscribed 😸
Thank You so Very much! 👍😊
Thanks for the info...
👍 Your Welcome!
A cleaner with PEA is what you really need if you want anything in the combustion chamber cleaned. It's about the only cleaner that survives the combustion process. The more PEA, the better. Alternatively, water injection will help clean things up in the combustion chamber, but you have to be really careful with it so you don't hydro lock the engine. Personally, I've thought about water\methanol\alcohol injection. I just don't want to blow things up.
I agree the PEA works very well.👍
You'd have to really inject a lot to hydrolock on a water/meth system. If you order a system it will be sized properly with the right injector size.
Thank you this is very good video
You're Welcome!
Thank you for watching! Here are a couple of more videos if you haven't already seen them.

Great video thank you
Your Welcome, and

Thanks! I subscribed to you also 😊
Well done! My parts guy pushes the Gum Out Professional which costs $15 from Amazon, but it's even cheaper at my local parts house (Surprisingly). Looks like B12 ($5 from local parts house) did a better job, but gum out was right behind. I always struggled putting a product with the name "Gum Out" into a customer car. What better way to say scam than to list a part called "Gum Out."
How often do you run thru your fuel system?
Thank You! , Yeah, that B12 is some strong stuff. I like the Gumout in the can with pea, I couldn't find any at my Walmart, their auto supplies are getting thin these days. But I use them both probably an average of 3 to 4 times a year, plus I use mostly top tier fuel. Clean fuel, clean oil, makes for a happy engine 🤣. Thank's for the Feedback!👍 Take Care!
I run a can of b12 every 2 months and i use B12 spray to clean my guns
@@Bucky1836 Yep, It's Good Stuff 👍
I use those two.. gumout because of PEA thing.. and the B12 too so i like mix and match evry 2 months....
Canadiantire motomaster concentrated fuel injector cleaner is one of the best if not best injector cleaner I've ever used and its never let me down
My truck C.E.L came on read p096e most likely dirty injectors. I used Gumout All in one with PEA and the light went off also I get better gas mileage and my truck actually runs alot smoother. Even at idle the rpms dont fluctuate and really is 100% smoother.
Thanks for Sharing!👍
I'm a B12 guy here. Camry with 160K and 200K more to go.
Buy injector cleaner from the people who make gasoline. Chevron Techron plus is awesome and available at Walmart. Injector cleaner cleans the injector tip to improve spray patterns. Also some cleaning of the back side of the intake valve.
It gets diluted in the gas tank , Hyundai dealer says don't use them . Good Review
Thank You!👍
شكراً جداً، فيديو رائع
شكراً
Your Welcome!
Thank You!
Good vid i love B12
Thanks Much! 😊
I use B12 also. It is cheaper at Walmart. Most of the time, I put 2 cans of B12 when I have an oil change done.
Yep, the B12 is some good stuff.
Thanks for sharing.👍
I’m curious what it would have looked like with Shell Premium gas knowing that it’s known and recorded as having the best and most additives and cleaners and uses that a lot on their marketing. Should do a test on that sometime.
I have a gasoline test video using that same gas you mention the Shell V Power Nitro and a couple of others. You can see it on this channel this coming Tuesday, June 8th. I hope you enjoy the video.😊
I test Gumout on my Sonata Yf and feel the difference in improvement especially accelerating. Thanks
Thanks for watching and commenting.👍
At 100,000 miles I had my fuel injection clean at a garage. There was a noticable improvement in accelleration.
3.3v6 Sonata
Gum out was already orange. The B12 did the most period. It was also clear with a hint of yellow.
Gas seperated from water ethanol an fuel.
👍
I have a test coming up Tuesday, Feb. 23rd. with some old and new players.
Heat gun it...
Techron is supposed to be a good one. It's always rated in the top five
Yep, 👍
I think anything with Pea. works well as a fuel cleaner.
B12 is great i run it every 4 gas tanks
Yes it strong stuff, thanks for the feedback👍🙌😊
Thanks for the informative video. I just put a can of the B12 in my Toyota Matrix last night. Hoping to correct a slightly rough idle. The tank is still full so no results as of yet. Fingers crossed
The B12 is some good strong stuff.
Good luck!🤞
Thanks, appreciate the response
@@WhipCityWrencher 👍
@@michaelvulcano278 after two weeks would like to know the result...
I LIKE HOW EVEN THE RED AND WHITE TIMER IS FROM DOLLARTREE TOO
🤣🤣
Gum out is definitely the best one not sure if b-12 has PEA but that is needed to actually clean carbon deposits and fuel injectors.
I don't think the B12 has PEA (polyetheramine) but it's strong stuff. Sometimes I use them both at the same time. Thanks for your feedback.👍🙌😊
Their website says it’s 30 to 50% PEA
THESEare good on big engines for sure, liquid molly is the best i use that on my 728i and 740i .it works .but put this stuff in a small engine car you will kill the head gasket rocker cover it eats small engine cars . after 4 weeks
Interesting, I never heard of that happening.
Thanks for watching and your comment.👍🙏😊
Have a Happy 4th of July.
used 3 x (fillups) the SMB cleaner on my 84 celica before CA smog last week. passed smog no PROBS. :D
Thanks for watching and your feedback.👍🙏😊
Did it fail it previously ?
Nope haha. But no reason to not trust it then :)
This would be a cool experiment with different kinds of gasoline alone especially for Chevron shell and arccos top-quality tear gas all say they're the best
Hi Dennis,
I'm thinking of doing just that, in about a month, so stay tuned.
Thanks for watching and your feedback.👍🙌😊
@@WhipCityWrencher not sure if you have easy access to it, but I'd love to see piston-engined aircraft fuel tested!
@@skrimper Hi Bruce,
I Can't promise anything but I am working on a video that will involve using Super unleaded gasoline from different brand stations, (Mobil, Shell, etc..). There is a small airport about 15 miles from where I live, I've never tried it but if they sell me a gallon I'll get it. I'll post back here if I do get it.
Thanks for the feedback.👍
@@WhipCityWrencher wow, thanks for the response! Obviously don't want you to go out of your way or anything 😂 Just thought itd be a good idea, I've only seen people use regular gas/diesel/basic solvents. Thanks !
@@skrimper that stuff's like acetone.
Dollar Tree lighter fluid 🔥,that's all it's good for
Debby Barcomb cool stuff.
B12 and gumout!!!
I always soak my Carbs in B-12, blow them out with air. Trust the brand that's been around for many years.
Yep, The B12 is some good stuff👍
@@WhipCityWrencher the truth never lies, trust the truth. B12 will always do the job. If the job is done right.
I noticed the Berryman can says fuel injector cleaner while the Gumout says fuel system cleaner. Is that just a marketing thing? ---EDIT--- Ok, I can see the Berryman can more clearly on Amazon and it does state that it works on the entire fuel system. One thing I would be interested to see in this experiment is before and after on an obd scan tool. Like I would assume that if your fuel injectors were cleaned than the car's computer would compensate somehow and you see that result somewhere in the scan tool. Thanks!
Depending on how dirty they were. You probably could see some difference if you had the right live data scan tool, but then you could only test one cleaner because if they came clean 1st time no need for another cleaning. What cleaner to try first🤔
Thanks for the comment! 👍
B-12 is hands down the best.
Yep,
It's strong stuff. I recently made a new video here's the link, you may find it interesting. Thanks for watching and your comment.👍🙏😊
ua-cam.com/video/KiWu9vthaEo/v-deo.html&ab_channel=WhipCityWrencher
Absolutely 💯
I agree I use it for years on my 4 stroke yamaha outboard motor and my truck
Depending on what I get my hands on, I use Chevron's Techron or Redline Fuel System cleaner. Trust me I drive a BMW and I don't bother with anything else.
Thanks for watching and I hope you liked the video.
I have both of the fuel cleaners that you mention in two separate videos. If you are interested in watching them, below are the links. I'm also doing another one probably for October. ua-cam.com/video/7qDh7DM2AAc/v-deo.html&ab_channel=WhipCityWrencher ua-cam.com/video/KiWu9vthaEo/v-deo.html&ab_channel=WhipCityWrencher
I drive an Audi A6. I’ve used chevron Techron before. I think it did a good job. I can’t exactly remember if it increased my gas mileage but I’ve also used Gumout, STP and Liqui Moly Injectron.
@@michaelseman2853 like I said. Don't bother with anything else other than Techron or Redline Fuel System cleaner. All else has a placebo effect on your mind!
@@Scotford_Maconochie
Lucas products are top shelf also... Their gas additives are fantastic.
@@Scotford_Maconochie bro, how's your experience with redline fuel injector cleaner for diesel engine? Is it good?
Those are some fine injectors-the spray pattern is off!
😊
You should have shown a before & after of the spark plugs. Were they all the same before? I don't know. What did they look like afterwards when they dried out? I don't know. Good video though.
I just got a '15 Taurus SHO and did the oil and trans, doing the coolant to the new yellow and PTU in April, curious if it's worth using something like this to treat the fuel system and whether it's safe for a TiVCT engine with turbos, thanks.
If it has fuel injectors then it should be safe to use a fuel injector cleaner, if they're dirty then maybe the fuel cleaner will help (one never knows)? That being said I think it's more important to use the correct motor oil weight and the correct fuel (octane) for your engine to get optimal performance.
Thanks for watching👍🙏🙌😊
@@WhipCityWrencher Thanks, just found the PDF of the manual gonna read through it. :)
@@HypnoticSuggestion 👍
B-12 is best IMO great video sir.
Thank You!👍😊
STP is very good . $17 per bottle at Walmart in Canada
Hello Canada!😊👍
Thanks for sharing!

You're Welcome!
Grear video
Thank You Mechanic Gio!
scotty kilmers says additive which contains P.EA is carbon cleaner..
👍
I agree.🙏🙌😊
Bg44 k excellent product for cleaning carbon deposits
Berryman's B-12 not bad for $4.22/can on Amz. I use it and it seems pretty good.
B-12 is the best to me.
SO did you make pudding or Jello using those dishes after the test was over?? .-)
Have you tried cataclean????? That stuff i think is really good too.. it's just expensive...
No, I never tried it.
I didn't know it was good for cleaning the fuel system. I might try it sometime.
Thanks for watching and for your feedback👍
the gumout and berryman's clearly worked the best. HOWEVER, berryman's did not break down the carbon deposits. this is NOT GOOD when clearing out the fuel system. these chunks can clog and ruin your fuel pump and catalytic converter. gumout, on the other hand, not only cleaned but DISSOLVED the carbon deposits, which will bypass these systems as exhaust and not cause damage. go for gumout 100%. great post!
Thank You! and
Thanks for your feedback!
You should do this test with different gas brands
I just may do that!
Great Suggestion, Thanks!👍🙏😊
Made a gasoline video will be published on June 8th. Thank You.
@@WhipCityWrencher great, can't wait!
Is it bg44k safe for turbo engine? As i have 2018 mazda6 GT turbo ..
Yes, it's safe to use. Just follow the directions on the can. One can treats 20 gallons of gasoline.
Thanks for asking and watching the video.👍
Gum out good to use with my 2008 Chevy Express 3500 6.0?
Yes, you have Fuel injectors,
It should be fine, just follow the directions on the bottle.
Hi how about mixing them with feul to do this may have different results
Here's the last one I did with gas in them. ua-cam.com/video/7lOix8dUAf8/v-deo.html&ab_channel=WhipCityWrencher
Good lmao I just blindly bought the gum out system cleaner and glad to see it actually works
I use Lucas 👍🏻
Good info. Waste of money with Dollar tree. Try Rural king cleaner, lucus and super tech if you would.
Yep, I think the Dollar tree brand is equivalent to Heet.
I'm using a Lucas fuel cleaner in my next video, I hope to have it on sometime this month. 🤞 😊
Thanks for watching and Your feedback!👍
How can you completely compare if the level of carbon deposits is not same in each of the spark plugs.
They are pretty close.
You get an idea of which one dissolves the carbon better.
Thanks for your comment.👍🙏😊
I have a 2005 Nissan Altima s 2.5 I bought for 1600$ and I think i made it mistake for putting the fuel cleaner on a full tank will it still work?
It should be fine it will mix up while you drive
Berrymans any day
BG44K PLATINUM is the best cleaner.
Yep, I've heard that's it's pretty good stuff.
Thanks for watching and your feedback.
@Tee Mack Actually the dollar tree has some good stuff, and of course some very cheap stuff, just have to know what to buy, kinda like Harbor Freight.
Anyway, I have a gasoline test video that will be shown on Tuesday, June 8th. that you may find interesting.👍🙏😊
U sure right about that
@@WhipCityWrencher bg44 k platinum excellent product for cleaning carbon deposits add to 20 gallons of gas
Found a new bottle of smb in a parking lot. Says up to 20 gallons so I was gonna do half per tank. After seeing this I think I'll dump it all in.
It's basically a dry gas (same ingredients) or the brand name Heet.
thumbs up for the pea in it
👍
cool
Thank You!
Glad you like the video.👍🙏🙌😊
I seen 3 different bottle of fuel injector at dollar store..all 3 different colors of bottle ..funny stuff
lol, Yep
Read the ingredients next time your at the Dollar tree, I bet their all the same.
Thanks for your feedback👍🙏😊
I put Lucas in today, now I want to try b-12 or gum out. Does anyone know if I have to wait to run this gas out before I add more stuff?
You could put it in now, it won't hurt anything, but I would probably wait and put it in next time you fill-up.
@@WhipCityWrencher thank you for such a prompt response! Appreciate you :)
Gumount here...p e a ingredients makes it clean
PEA 👍,
PEA works when it combusts...
Wow
I like the Boston accent. If you ever meet Mark Wahlberg or one of his brothers, let us know.
Is this product safe for 2007 Honda Pilot?
Yes, it is.
Thanks for asking.
I would have liked to see Lucas oil brand
Thank You!
Lucas fuel injector cleaner will be one of the six fuel cleaners in the next fuel cleaner video. The video will be out sometime in February.Thanks again!👍
I had a check engine light for over a year. Scanning tool said catalytic converter unefficient. I tried cataclean twice. Light went out for only 100 miles and came back. I tried chemtool and noting. I tried gumout then when I had a 1/4 of tank adden another chemtool and filled the tank up. Ran it for 60 miles and check engine light went out. When tank was again about a1/4 I added a bottle of octane booster and filled the tank up. I've been going now over 300 miles no light. I'm using octane booster second time. Right now I'm on just mid grade gasoline. Also gas consumption reduced to 20 mpg on conbined city and highway. My truck is straight 6 chevy 220k. Valve tickling went silent in the mornings starts. Engine smooth. After all chemicals not sure wich one did the job. I will stick with gumout, chemtool and booster.
Thanks for sharing!
Sounds like maybe you had a dirty injector. I would put a can each in every couple of months and see how that works.
@@WhipCityWrencher Sad to tell you that check engine light came just back. I got ti tell you. Once you start using these additives you have to keep using them on every refill. At least is what it seems to my case.
@@fernesal Sorry to hear that. You may have a Cat that just about had it.
I would keep trying the cleaners for a while, can't hurt. Good Luck!
@@WhipCityWrencher Guess what? Light went out again. I did nothing. I guess I abused the gas pedal then at normal driving is fine
@@fernesal 👍
UPDATE:
I have all 6 fuel cleaners, the video should be out sometime in February.
Thank You. 😊
1st. Gumout with Pea
2nd. Berrymans B12
3rd. Seafoam
4th. Redline SI1 fuel injector cleaner
5th. Amsoil P.i. Performance cleaner
6th. Lucas fuel injector cleaner
Also, Oil Filter Friday,
Watch a New Automotive oil filter inspection video every Friday on this channel.
Cant wait! 🙂
@@FA-sr6lx Thanks for watching!👍😊
Saw Gum out's new labels on bottle It says: "GDI".
nothing indicating PEA like the labels before.
Gum out and Berryman's won here!
You should do a test with Costco Premium gas...
In Canada there's no ethanol in their premium.
@@dfls5069 Thanks for watching and the suggestion!👍
Methanol in the dollar tree brand...probably only good for water freezing issues...and to start your campfire. Alcohol does assist with cleaning in fuel, but probably not enough in that bottle to get that done...just my 2 cents...not based on science.
👍
When I asked a mechanic about cleaning my fuel system, as was suggested by the oil change people, he told me to get a bottle of isopropyl alcohol and put it in my tank. All that I know for sure is that the check engine light went out.
The best is gum out always i used but the b12 not have lubricant is to abrassive bad fot the gas pump and injectors
Thanks for your Feedback!👍
why would you use injector cleaner to clean a spark plug?
the 2 devises operate under different conditions and would require different cleaners
I'm just trying to show which cleaner would be better at cleaning the combustion chamber in an engine. (That's all).
Thanks for the feedback👍🙏😊.
@Brandon Bell Yep,🤣
