<div dir="ltr">I use Sea Foam, added to the fuel. It seems to do the job and costs a lot less than $150! I say it seems to do the job because I have never really had a problem with dirty or clogged injectors. I know that sea foam does a good job of cleaning clogged jets in carbs and it removes carbon deposits form the head and valves pretty good. Those things I have has issues with and you can see the results. <br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Apr 11, 2016 at 10:14 AM, John T.

I went to get my car, a '06 Scion xB /w 54,000 mi, state inspected on Sat. When it was done, they suggested that I have the fuel injectors "cleaned".<br>
Only $150!<br>
<br>
My question to the group, is do you all have this done? All I've seen on<br>
shows like 60 min, is that the shops were telling people to have it done, and<br>
then charging the customer, but not doing the work.<br>
<br>
Are any of the in the bottle cleaners any good?<br>
<br>
Is this a good as the "shop cleaning"? I assume that they don't take the injectors off the engine, so really all they're doing is pumping a chemical through the system. Maybe a little better than mixing with the fuel and<br>
running it through the system.<br>
<br>
If you recommend a cleaner in the bottle, which ones and how often?<br>
<br>
Or is all this really snake oil?<br>
<br>
TIA<br>
