I'll put money that using fuel cleaners every 5,000 miles will result in you replacing a fuel filter or pump before you would get any buildup had you never used cleaners.

Why? Do they damage the parts? I used Techron two tankfuls in a row with no probs. They were the 12oz. sized bottles.
Also, last time out I put Sunoco Ultra in to see how it runs...GREAT!

IMHO, fuel injector cleaners are a waste if being used in new(er) cars, i.e., anything younger than 3yrs old or has less than 36K miles. Frequent use of cheap gas and air filter malfunctions are variables to be considered, of course.

Please read. I didn't say fuel injector cleaner.

Sorry. But you did mention fuel injector, and for some reason, that's all I remembered. But even still, you would come out cheaper just running on a tank high octane fuel to clean out your fuel system as opposed to paying $6 on a bottle of over-hyped detergent. Most fuels have detergents in them anyway, and filling up with a higher octane would only cost you $1.10 more per tank and would yield more noticeable benefits, I believe.

See you in a 100,000 miles and we'll find out.
