if you really think you need to do it... seafoam.

or for periodic maintenance do like "Justasking" suggested in this thread

Add the alcohol to a half tank of gas and then fill it up. Then run the tank almost empty and fill it up again. That will help run the alcohol through the system and clean the injectors.

I have been doing this for about 3 years and have no problems.
