Hot topic on the US forums these days is induction cleaning. Basically the fuel path and injectors as far as I can follow, and its all the rage to get it done professionally while pooh poohing DIY additives. What do we think about that then?
Sounds like a good money maker if you can get somebody stupid enough to pay you to do it. Some off the shelf injector cleaners work pretty well actually. If you put them in when tank is low, as opposed to the add to a full tank instruction, the difference is quite noticable.
A couple of years ago (on another forum) I read recomendations to simply add a litre of methylated spirit to the tank occasionally. Any comments from this forum?
Don't know about the Meths but have heard of adding a little Acetone to diesels or a moth ball in petrol engines believe it or not.
I hate to think what meths or, even worse, acetone could potentially do to the seals in the injector pump.
Yankee snake oil.
Mothballs??
some one care to enlightin me?
Thank you for that,always prefered the 500T myself.Maybe, but lots of things are discovered by accident. Like when one of Francis Bearts mechanics accidentally fitted a under sized inlet gasket to the carb on a Manx Norton and got a silly increase in power because of the turbulance it caused. Not all old wives tales are fictional.

Well I tried it. Friend gave me a pair of tablet-form injection cleaners that you drop into the tank before filling. Used 1 with just 20 litres of fuel and when that was consumed popped in the second with 40 litres. It really does seem to have made a difference. The car runs smoother and definitely has more zip. I used Dyno-Tab Plus injection cleaners from the US.
