Do Injector cleaning fuel additives work?
I currently have a bottle of Valvoline injector cleaner in the tank and a improvement in performance was immediate, which I think is strange, shouldn’t there be a gradual increase in performance as I use up the tank. I’m worried it might just be a fuel performance additive that will make the car go good for the one tank, and ill think it worked because it made the car go better as soon as I put it in!
A bloke here in the office who use to work for Toyota reckons that Toyota have or use to have an Injector cleaner that worked but was quite corrosive and gave commodores problems because it use to attack something in the fuel system.
Can you give me your knowledge or opinions on what works or not, beside removing the injectors and testing them on a test bench.
