There are a lot of Fuel System Cleaners in the Phil. Market. You pour it in your tank when you fill up and it "does" it's thing. Are they really effective in cleaning the fuel system/injectors? I need your expert opinions.
one isuzu pick up owner tried one brand of injector cleaner/power booster once and was satisfied with it. because of this he bought a lot and put one every time he fill up the tank(full tank) after a few months his car was smoking bad. Result the injectors were worn out, the holes were enlarged. he had to change to new ones after that and stopped using the product. forgot the name of the product basta it was colored yellow and is a spin off of one of the famous engine treatments.
but i use the petron power booster once every four to five full tanks. so far ok pa naman. one tech man told me to use it once in a while lang.

every full tank ko gumagamit ako ng petron power booster. napapansin ko kasi pag may booster walang usok. or baka sa isip ko lang . masama ba raw to?
yup!once in awhile lang ginagamit yan,but if your using high grade gasoline,like blaze,vortex gold,velocity etc,you dont need octane booster or fuel system cleaner,the gasoline have enough cleaning detergents/chemicals already.

light blue ang kulay for the STP Diesel Injector cleaner.. i used it once.. pero wala naman ako makitang effect sayang din... instead i will buy the cleaner.. dagdag budget ko na lang sa gas...
Tried the carbon clean system twice already. So far so good. Very effective. Mancor even called me up to conduct a satisfaction survey on their product which I think is great since I know that they really want to improve their services through customer replies.
Theveed,I paid 2,100 bucks for the whole process. Depende sa displacement ng engine mo eh. Si wiretap yata mas mababa ang binayaran kasi 2L ang engine niya.
for me, sa tingin ko eh dapat once or twice a year lang gamitin sa fuel para sure na di ma-damage ang engine... malakas loob ng mga company na yan na sabihin na "safe" ..pero wala ka naman habol pag nasira engine natin...
kung laging meron ka problem sa fuel system.. baka kelangan lang mag change ng gas station.. meron kasi madugas na gas station na nanghahalo ng gas ... or lipat ka from one oil company to another one (e.g. petron to shell) ...
also, dati sa toyota casa, gumagamit sila ng engine flush (don't know which brand) every time na mag change oil ka.. then one day na nagpa change oil (PMS) kami eh di na sila gumamit ng engine flush... tinanong ko ang mechanic nila kung bakit hindi na sila gumagamit... ang sagot --- pinatigil daw mismo ng planta ng toyota dahil meron daw engine na damage dahil sa chemical content ng engine flush ..di na sinabi kung anong car model..
