BG Fuel INjection System Cleaner - good?

tigerpee · 08-07-2007, 09:13 AM

Interested in putting this cleaner in my car.

Ref:

1. Is it good?
2. Where do I dump it in? Same process as that Seafoam stuff or can I be lazy and simply dump it into the fuel tank.

Thanks!

its all really the same crap. as long as you dont pour it in your engine, its fine. dont pour anything except oil in the oil filler cap and you're pretty much ok to use most chemicals.

just run a tank of 50/50 e-85 and 91 octane. It will work better than any of that stuff you get in a bottle.

I was curious one day and filled my tank with a combination of 75/25 e-85 and race gas. If I had a stand alone I probly could have boosted the crap out of it. any way since then I have been using the regular 91 octane and getting 6 miles a gallon better milage.

with that said its not recomended that you run more than 50/50 the e-85 can be corrosive to some parts of the fuel system if its made out of the wrong material.

I have heard of people runing a 50/50 mix regularly just to save money on gas and havnt had any problems that I am aware of. to get any significant performance (and fuel milage) gains with e-85 you should tune with a stand alone.

any way the only reason I bring this up is because I have never seen any actual benifit from running any type of injector cleaner but have seen results with runing a tank of mixed e-85. oh yea I guess this all depends on if e-85 is available in your area.

do not run e85 in your car. you WILL run lean if you run e85. stoich is 9:1 instead of 14:1 like gas.
