I also put some mistery oil in the gas tank to clean the fuel injectors, it sounds smoother now but smokes at start.

Thanks
Hi,

I would never add Mystery Oil to a modern Fuel System. It's just Snake Oil. Mostly made up of Mineral Spirits, Naptha and chlorinated HC's (think Brake Cleaner). While it's not likely to hurt the engine (though prolonged use may), it certainly doesn't do it any good either. See their MSDS Sheet for details: http://www.jamestowndistributors.com/userportal/pdfs/MSDS/marvel_mystery/marvel_mystery_oil.pdf ...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
