Should I use fuel injection cleaner? If so, what brand? ---

I like Techron. It has always served me well. Seafoam, too. ---

Tom and Ray would recommend Techron, too. It’s one of the very few brand name recommendations I recall them making. ---

The OP can count this as another vote in favor of Techron. ---

I’m going on a trip and I bought my bottle of Star-Tron from Wal-Mart. It’s for boats but it’ll work. The others are good. I used Sea Foam, Berryman B-12 and probably something else. Maybe Gumout but I just assume that many of them are the same stuff; various paint thinners mixed together. Star tron is good for warp drive engines. ---

> [@awaymale](#): > > Should I use fuel injection cleaner? @awaymale Are you looking for cleaner to solve a problem you’re having? I never use fuel injection cleaner, and never had a problem where it would have helped. My sense is the majority of drivers do not use it regularly. ---

Most gasoline sold in the US have plenty of cleaners already in it. Unless you are having a problem no need to add any. I do add a bottle once or twice a year when I am about to take a long trip. I buy any of the brands mentioned above, I look for the best price. It probably does not do any good, makes me feel a bit better but does no harm either. ---

Not unless you are having a fuel system related symptom. ---
