Anyone using these fuel system cleaners?
Redline's Fuel System Cleaner. Extremely potent and unlike techron, which is just simple alcohol/kerosene combinations which a lot of injector cleaners are.
Redline as well as Lucas Fuel Injector Cleaner (Tune-Up In a Bottle), in conjunction with an injector cleaner, it also has a lubricant that will help lubricate fuel pump bearings, and also will help lubricate piston rings.
Found this is a Tech area and was wondering just how good the Redline is and if anyone uses Lucas.
Thanks

I've used the RedLine many times. In fact, I just used it to "clean up" the gas gauge on my '96 Camaro. The gauge was reading way over full the last time I started the car up. (Winter storage) Poured a little RedLine in the tank, bounced the back bumper up and down a couple of times to stir things up, hit the key, PRESTO!! Gas gauge read 5/8, just like it should have.

The alcohol/kerosine is not the key component in any fuel system clenaer, the detergent package is. Alcohol and kerosene alone will not clean up combustion chamber deposits.
Personally, I prefer the Valvoline Synpower fuel system cleaner, or SeaFoam.
I have never seen a comparison of cleaning power among major brands.

I've been using the AMSOIL PI for years, in all my vechicles. So far have avoided having problems.

My brother-in-law is a dealer for an Auto Parts store and he said to try Dragon's Breath by Castle Chemicals... it's supposed to be hands down the $HIT!
Havn't tried it yet...
