Hi guys just after a bit of advice on the various fuel and injector cleaning products on the market. Like Redex advance and stp injector cleaner are they any good ?
I know that certain anti friction fluids are best left alone because they can clog up etc ?
Any thoughts would be apreciated  
cheers Tony

Well Tony,
 
Using fuel injection cleaners are just like making lo..... Grin
 
A lot of folk on this site swear by the likes of an Optimax product because of its additives.
 
I use one tank in three and Redex 1 shot form time to time, seems to work well enough so far.
 
Hope that helps.

I seem to remember reading a very detailed article on this subject  
on this site. Had a look but can't find it again. Anyone know where it is?

Found report, it's more to do with oil additives but still makes interesting reading. http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/snakeoil.htm
