[QUOTE="6UE5t, post: 1064736257, member: 103722"] Depends, many probably don't do much but just a snake oil gimmick. Some might really be useful but need to use regularly like every 5k km. From what I read, those that can work should contain a chemical called PEA (PolyEtherAmine) coz that's the only cleaning agent that can work in such high heat and pressure of the combustion chamber. Cleaners that I saw have this chemical are only: - Gumout Fuel System Cleaner. I have been using this quite often coz it's the best value for money at only rm16 in ACE. - Redline Complete Fuel System Cleaner. I used this long time ago and supposed to have the highest concentration of PEA but price is the most expensive now. - 3M Fuel System Cleaner, quite expensive too at around rm40 if not mistaken. - STP Fuel System Cleaner (silver bottle, not the normal orange injector cleaners), around rm30-40/btl. - Caltex Techron cleaner, not sure how much now. Others don't state if they contain PEA. Last weekend I just tried Chemlube. It doesn't state to have PEA but it's supposed to enable water contamination in the fuel to get burned off so I try it. Price pretty expensive at rm50/bottle. Theoretically though all our fuels should have good cleaners included so not sure how much more effective is an additional bottle is. [/QUOTE]
