Does the Fuel Injector and Carb Cleaner actually work and help the car. If so what is a good brand. How about putting the Octane Boost in 93 fuel? Good or bad idea?

 

I have a 96 Accord Ex

 

To get the most out of an octane boost, its best to pump 89 and then pour it in. Carb cleaner wouldn't work on our cars bc we are E.F.I (electronically fueled injected). LOL... I pour in a bottle of Redline complete fuel system everytime I change my oil and it does run noticably better.

 

i use BG44k. $22 a pop for 11oz. h: good luck finding it...

 

BG is great stuff. Most dealers should have it. I get a free one every now and then from a buddy who is a Dodge tech.

 

not REALLY... i called like 8 places and 80% of the time the guy had NO CLUE what BG44K was and i had to tell him. i started with acura dealers, then bmw, then mercedes.... guess what. i ended up getting it at a local hyundai/mazda dealer. go figure!!! i thought that BG is soooo good that mb/bmw techies would know. guess not?

 

hmm..never heard of it. what does it do?

 

Most of these fuel system cleaner, injector cleaners etc. have harsh chemicals that while do clean away deposits will also eat away at the gaskets and seals inside of your motor. I would not use them unless you are having problems. Even then consider getting your injectors ultrasonically cleaned.

Just be sure to stick to good gasoline with detergents in it like Chevron, Amoco, Exxon, etc.
