the only effective chemical that can clean injectors and fuel system parts in a small dose is PEA, Chevron Techron and Redline are one of the few companies that use it. Regane used to use PEA but I am not so sure about their recent formula. Redline is reported to have the highest concentration of PEA but both products are good. I've heard that Shell's Nitrogen gasoline fuel additive is based on PEA but I can't confirm that, Chevron fuel also has PEA. I can't spell the chemical name but it is an additive that is strong enough to clean in small doses, anything else just isn't effective enough to work in small bottle doses. Do a search of the chemical name if you want more info.

I use it in all my vehicles, adding the entire big bottle (treats up to 20 gallons of gasoline) to the tank. I always do this a couple fill-ups before changing the oil as much of what's cleaned out ends up in the oil.
