Probably, but none of that snake oil is gonna fix anything.

The only stuff I use is Red Line Fuel System Cleaner. It is one of the few products that has enough active ingredients that can work with a single treatment. It is PEA based which is regarded as the best system cleaning additive, it also contains an upper cylinder lubricant. One bottle will treat two tanks given our small fuel tank size. I use one bottle per year, you can also use it in a smaller maintenance dose with each fill if desired. I've recommended it to two S2000 owners who were having fuel related issues and it cleared things up in one dose.
I have tried Lucas UCL in the past but never noticed any improvement so I stopped using it, it always seemed too thick and gooey to me, not sure how well it mixed with the fuel. I don't think it will harm anything but it might not help either. I'd rather stick with the Red Line product.
