Fuel system cleaner?

[Roy 96 T/A Convertible]

I've heard of a fuel system cleaner that comes in a can that connects to the fuel rail. Does anyone know who makes it? If so, is it a good product to use? Thanks

I don't know of one but I have another comment to make about additives. All of the fuel cleaner additives I have seen were straight kerosene. They are like $2.99 for a 16 ounce bottle. You can go buy kerosene for $1.49 a gallon if you can find it. I personally think additives are a rip off. Well except diesel fuel gel stop. I know a lot of people who use them that will swear by them.

Here's a funny story for you talking about kerosene. A long time ago I was broke and the car needed gas. The next day was payday so I figured I just needed a few gallons of gas. I picked up the gas can and poured it in. I took off for work and a few miles later, the car started spark knocking like a diesel. It (85 Mustang GT) still ran fine. I got to work, pulled in a parking space, opened the door and was listening to the car when it hit me. This thing smells like a jet at the airport. Oh crap, I put kerosene in it. It still ran fine. I stopped on the way home and filled it with gas. I bet I had the cleanest carb in town. We used to use kerosene to clean the machines in the shop. Moral of the story, mark you kerosene cans. LOL

The only "cleaner" I have ever used is Chevron with Techron -- it's the only one that actually seems to do something. However, in general, they are all just snake-oil in a bottle.
