Are any of the fuel additives designed for cleaning the injectors worthy of use?

Or are they all just a waste of time...I'm thinking dirty injectors may be playing some small role in my problems, just wondering what's out there that would be good to clean them? TIA

Second, RedLine SI-1 is by far the best I've used.

All the chlorine based products mentioned work well, but not to often.

Default BG 44K

This stuff seems to be the best I've ever tried. I recently gave a can to my dad to put in his 16 year old Land Cruiser and it smoothed out his idle &amp; restored some lost power in one tankful. Now he wants to try it in his other older cars.

It's not usually available in retail stores so you may have to call a BG distributor to find a local source.

If your problem is related to a dirty fuel induction system, I think a can of 44K should help out.<ul><li><a href="http://www.bgprod.com">BG Products</a></li></ul>

Default Improved MPG and smooth idle

I used an injector cleaner made by the company Lucas and it also seals all the parts that need to be. The sticker on the bottle says it all, "Tune up in a Bottle". This stuff really worked well
