The last gas question - Toyota Yaris Forums

Tonavi · 03-03-2009, 11:19 PM

I ran some injector cleaner through the brake line, and there was some massive smoke action for almost a half hour! I work at a shop where we have an IV drip system for when we do fuel system cleanings, so I used that as it meters the cleaner (Valvoline synthetic fuel system...) and the air so the engine still runs somewhat smoothly. Two hours later, the shop is still foggy and has that sweet smell...

For 21,000 miles, it smoked like it had 100,000. The car rarely goes over 2500 rpm, so that means it's the ethanol in the gas that's causing most of the carbon. Note that the car runs like it's brand new, with an instant increase in performance!
