Hey Guys,
I have seen a lot of info about injector cleaners. My mechanic says that too much cleaner will damage the fuel pump. He has machine to by-pass the tank to clean the injectors.
My buddy owns a parts store, is a collector of fine Monte Carlo's and said to put seafoam in the tank about every 3rd fill-up. It will not only keep the injectors clean but will also help to stabilize the gas for winter storage. He uses this stuff all the time and has not had any problems.
I want to trust them both and am thinking, just like drinking, moderation is a good choice.
Could the manufacturer of the injector machine just be making an assumption that addatives damage fuel pumps so they can justify their machine or do they have hard evidence that injector cleaners causes problems? I would assume they have hard evidence but would like your thoughts too.
For now I am going to stick with the BP or Shell 93 octane.
