[ghostrider]

Bought a bottle (STP Fuel Injector Cleaner) and poured it into a full tank of fuel, yesterday night. Will update, when this tank is done.

You are on recommended amount. look forward to hear your review as I have used 1 bottles + 2 tabs on 1/2 tank thats should be 6x the concentration Hahahaha.

Been using STP Fuel Injector Cleaner in the grey bottle. Used the additive at least twice a month on a full tank fill-up, or each time i go outstation. Could feel slight improvement in pick-up during acceleration, smoother drive and reduction in engine noise during morning start up. The bottle cost RM27 at most DIY outlets.

Tire stores and auto service centers can perform this cleaning, which can restore flow in fuel injectors and cleans the entire fuel system. A properly cleaned fuel injection system will improve fuel economy and reduce exhaust emissions. It restores that "like new" drivability to an engine's performance and keeps it running better, longer and more efficiently, such as:Reduced emissions,Restores horsepower,Increased fuel economy,Starts and idles smooth and runs quieter.

Do we still need fuel injector cleaner when our petrol already comes with additives that can clean the fuel injector.

I think I see more diesel owners using injector cleaners versus petrol car owners.

my fuel pump gave way not long after i poured in a bottle of injector cleaner. maybe it was a coincidence, but i still believe they have something to do to each other.

When do you normally refuel your car? When it is empty on petrol or when the light comes out?

normally when the indicator flashes. i know it's a bad habit and can cause problems to the fuel pump in long run. but that has been my style in one year plus of ownership and nothing bad happened. the problem came not long after the injector cleaner was poured in.

The injector cleaners may have stirred up some old dirt in the tank

Either that or the pump came to the end of its service life.

[primus2211]

I usually use this:

Been using this on most of my petrol cars from MPV's to performance cars for almost 5 years since they started selling them in ACE (RM 75). Usually will pour this in at the petrol station on the onset of a long drive e.g. Singapore. Minimizes the retention time and at the same time ensuring that it gets consumed fully.

Hard to say which is the best honestly. I use LiquiMoly and I kind of like that brand. I am sure STP is great as well.

 

[gendong]

Not really sure if there is any 'best brand' out there. All about the feel good factor, preference and perceived benefits drivers/owners might 'feel'. Nothing solid to back up the claims.

 

[anaksarawak]

Its part of Toyota service schedule and they do sell the cleaner at their parts outlets. Check them out.

Anaksarawak. I just wanna clarify 1 thing. I still don't kinda get it. You use the tab to improve fc right? then stp is for fuel injectors. okay how do you take out the tab after two days? Where do you even put it? Into the tank right? Sorry ya. Feeling a blonde right now

then its alright. safe then. haha. was thinking the whole time when i was driving to pasar malam, buying groceries(until silap buy the wrong vege) and then on my way back as well. Haha. Kinda interesting to try this on my saga to see the milage but sadly mom never kept tracked how many km her full tank can go. Lol. Must check the millage then only buy the tab and fuel injector before pouring RON97.
