I leaned about this system about 13 years ago in a performance magazine article. It basically stated that the only way to thoroughly clean fuel injectors was to use a system like this, no gas tank additives come close. A local performance/race shop (one of two listed in the article) was selling the system and the cleaner, so I bought one. Over the years I have used it on my Corvette, Firebird GTA, Mustangs, and now Tahoe with excellent results. The cleaning system seems to be a secret among pros and race shops and the cleaning product is not found at most automotive stores.
I can assure you that cleaning your injectors for a couple of minutes on this stuff (pushing on the accelerator a few times) will do more cleaning than many tanks of gas with any type of injector cleaner/additive... I’ve been there and done that a few times. Using this cleaning system every 50,000 would be good, but unfortunately I tend to wait until I have performance issues. My experience has been that performance/throttle response will gradually decrease over time, unnoticed, and then the idle will start to fluctuate. Hit the injectors with this cleaning system and I get amazing results. Adding an injector cleaner to the tank and changing to premium gas with Techron has little or no noticeable difference in comparison even after running through three tanks.
My Tahoe started idling rough (it has 140,000 miles on it), a few minutes on this cleaning system (first time doing so since I bought the vehicle new) and it idles very smooth now. Push on the accelerator and there is vast improvement in response and acceleration. Since it’s my wife’s daily driver I asked her for some words to post here. She said, “That thing now has get-up and go!”
