Anyone using spray throttle body cleaner or in-the-tank fuel injector cleaner? I used Gumout spray and tank additive religiously when I had a 351 with a Holley 4 bbl. carb. Not so sure I need/want to do this with a fuel injected motor. Any opinions? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

My question is will it cause any harm? I've done a number of things that I "THINK" are helpful to the longevity of my truck, but would hate to hasten a components demise by using something harmful in it.
Like Robb, I'm concerned with any damage to rubber or composite parts caused by this stuff in the fuel lines and spraying it into the throttle body. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img]

I use chevron fuel system in my cobra race car, ( 4 cam 4.6 L 0 and in my f250 v10, there is nothing wrong with using this product on a regular basis. But every 30,000 miles I have also still had a fuel system cleaning done. Still makes a big improvment in driveability. Like getting a major tune up.
