did you bother w/ putting a can in the gas tank? What were your overall results?

Re: Do you believe in periodically running fuel injector cleaner??

went ahead w/ 1 can in gas tank and 1 in booster hose. i didn't have small enough funnel so i used one of my wife's priceless pieces of plastic ware. was able to bog down engine while performing operation, but couldn't get enough in hose to stall engine out, therefore, I opted to shut down ignition immediately. now, for the restart... back in 30...

LMAO!! All my neighbors were out in their yards as I exit my hood... got several "WTF" looks as a trail of thick white smoke follows close behind... still had a little pinging initially, but it seems to have gone away, and I'm sure the can of seafoam I put in the gas tank will only help that too. Thanks to all who inspired & aided this maintenence task!

Chevron/Techron Fuel Cleaner was the only one that showed a positive result in my buddies fuel class.

+1 for Seafoam!! I've noticed better throttle response, and have experienced none of the pinging I was used to while romping on it!
