Any of you think a dose of injector cleaner is worth while and if so which one is best ?

Probably not at this time of the morning

Used the stp one once, but not sure it made any difference

I found it made a difference on the range rover diesel, although that may have been as much to do with the Cetane enhacing aditives. Oh and adding it double strength. Improved starting and economy.

I used to be a non-believer.
kept getting a dead spot in a chim,just like it would cut out for a split second as if something was breaking down at about midway through the rpm range.
did the usuallugs,cap,arm,leads,diagnostics,no difference.
in desperation I chucked a bottle of wynns fuel injector cleaner straight into the tank with about a gallon of petrol,says to put in with full tank but what the hell!.
worked a treat,never had it ran so smooth.
not saying it is a miracle cure for everything but for a fiver or so it`s always worth a shot.
I slosh a bottle in every six months,it`s got to help in the long run.
I`ve also cured a few diesels by just putting it straight into the filter.

I recon it can't do any harm.
I've always used it a couple of times a year. Has anyone ever used it at the recommended dosage or do you all megadose like me?
