Re: Fuel injector cleaner -- which is best/OK for 1800ES? (RonG)
Premium fuel has injector cleaners in it already, and seems to work pretty well.
Besides that, I've been meaning to try Sea Foam. There are two ways to use it: First, you can put it through the fuel system by dumping it in the gas tank, to clean the pump, injectors, all the lines, and maybe even the tank itself; Second, you can suck it through a vacuum line and clean out the whole intake system. (This makes a HUGE cloud of smoke when you do it, apparently.)
I've heard only good things about Sea Foam when it's used properly, but I haven't found anybody who's tried it on a B20 engine.
Re: Fuel injector cleaner -- which is best/OK for 1800ES? (asthenia)
A B20 with clean injectors will thrive on 92+ octane and clean fuel filters.
Any fuel additive should not be allowed to sit idle in the tank/lines for long periods. Be sure the air/fuel adjustments are correct to prevent raw fuel from sneaking past the rings/seats/seals and diluting the engine oil.

Thanks, Ron! Isn't it weird how problems are obvious only after you figure them out?
