Need feedbacks on using Fuel Injector Cleaners

[beetle]

Hi guys, has anyone tried using Fuel Injector cleaners? I have a diesel ride kasi and its been a long time since na palinis ito. Try ko lang yung cheaper alternative kung may positive and effect (brands like STP) ty

bro, i've used one of those injector cleaners di ko lang matandaan brand pero lalo lang nag worsen yung problema. if smoke ang problem mo sa diesel ride mo, have your nozzle tips (injectors) checked kasi baka di na maganda ang distribution ng diesel fuel. next thing to do if wala mangyari is calibration ng injection pump which is a little bit costly pero yan talaga ang solution for smoke problems sa diesel. i also have a diesel ride and after nozzle tip replacement and injection pump calibration, wala na usok, tipid pa sa diesel, lumakas pa hatak.

Sir, matanong ko lang ano sasakyan ninyo? sino gumawa?

I'm a regular user ng STP injector cleaner. 9 years na yung kotse ko pero di ko pa napalinis ang injector kahit minsan. Di ko alam kung effective nga sya, pero pakiramdam ko ay gumaganda ang takbo kahit papano pag naglalagay ako ng ganon, pero di lang din sure kung dahil dun sa jet fuel additive ng STP injector cleaner.

Gas engine nga pala car ko.

I also use STP. For me, ok naman ang naging experience ko, on both my Accord and former Sentra.

I also used Outlaw (twice more expensive than STP), and I felt it helped in stabilizing idling issues I had with my Sentra (which was later traced to a dirty IACV/TB).

Use injector cleaner (fuel additive) when you are about to do an oil drain (change).

It tends to change the engine oil chemistry that might have some effect on the engine when used for a relatively long time.

I have used the Cyclo cleaner.

i also used also cyclo injector cleaner on the 13 old car. I used it 2,000km before oil change. There is a little difference in engine performance also in fuel consumption, i guess i should used it with our maintenance services (e.g change oil, tune-up)

Ive heard that the 3M carb cleaner can also be a substitute-just spray half of the can contents in the gas tank (at full tank). But havent tried it yet because I don't know if this is a good practice.

just curious how a fuel additive or injector cleaner would affect engine oil when fuel and engine oil do not directly come in contact with each other?

is it due to the blow by gases which comes from the crankcase then recirculated back to the intake manifold?

on a diesel, injector cleaners are not an alternative to getting periodic calibrations.
