Chris, tell me this. I have been using Chevron Techron Concentrate in my car and customers cars for years. It works superbly. It actually corrected some running problems. How did this work without harming any injectors or any part of the fuel system? I still use it to this day.

I don't know. Maybe you and your customers change your filters regularly? I know that I have seen published report after published report (check out Underhood Magazine if you get the chance, it's always got up to date info) that says what I was taught in my fuel systems class at the local cc, which is anything that cleans the injectors has to be corrosive, and anything corrosive in your fuel system will damage other parts, as well as emit emissions, and damage the O2 sensor(s). Perhaps Techron has an additive that helps to prevent some deposits from forming, I really don't know, but there are no proven studies that show it cleans dirty injectors. At least none that I am aware of.

BTW, what really kills me are these ads I see for Joe Blow's service station offering an injector cleaning for $29.95. Please.

Take care,
