The best fuel system cleaner?
Does anyone have a recommendation for a good fuel cleaner. I may have a bit of carbon buildup and would like to dump some strong stuff in my tank.
Thanks!

Techron and Redline both work well. IIRC, GM fuel system cleaner is repackaged Techron.

Does Techron really do anything? I have heard it gets into oil once you use it.. and it thins oil out... and should only use it about 2 tank fulls before you do oil chage for that fact? anybody heard that before?
