Do any of the fuel system cleaners (Techron, Lucas, Neutra, Fuel Power, Redline, Amsoil, Berryman B-12) leave deposits on spark plugs?
 
Mystic:

Techron hasn't in my Volvos the few times I've used it. I'm using conventional plugs, not platinums, which someone told me were more prone to deposits and fouling; not sure why or if that's even true. Years ago I used some "Gumout" which definitely did foul plugs. Can't speak for the other brands, as I haven't tried them. Intuitively, you would think there would be at least some impact, however.
 
Techron did cause ash-fouling on the platinum plugs in my Audi A4 2.8 (iron block, aluminum heads). If you want I can find pics.
