by doing this the two additives a more consentrated which in turn will clean alot better.

I was never a big on these type of additives and tried numerous types but LubroMoly is the only one I will ever use.

BG 44K is what I use in my vehicles, recommended by local Audi/Porsche dealer.

While it does work in the tank, it's better in concentrated doses directly into the system.

What bout STP Fuel Injector Cleaner?? I bought a bottle last week should i use it???

OOOOya

I tried to keep the story short.

I have an 88 Civic as my dedicated winter beater (the wife drives the Audi). Less than a year after buying it (this is in 2000), I thought it might be a good idea to run some injector cleaner through the 205K lump.

I drove around town only after adding the stuff to a full tank, the next morning no start.

Autopsy report:
Over maybe 30 miles, the Regane had started working so well that the nasty buildup in the intake runners (PCV oil vapor, fuel) had started washing down to the combustion chamber.
Enough large deposits had made their way onto the valves backsides that when I shut the motor down, the crud on the valves that happened to be left hanging open re-hardened leaving me with no compression because those valves wouldn't seat anymore.

New life via modern transplants:
Good thing I've got 3 other Honda's and lots of spares - the 88 ended up getting an entire spare motor with only 38K original miles.

Lessons learned:
1. Gumout Regane works.

2. Don't use injector cleaner in a DPFI injected system with over 200K on it.

3. If you ignore #1, use the injector cleaner on a road trip where you'll be going through the entire tank of fuel without shutting the motor down.
