Toyota Fuel Injector Cleaner

[JohnBrowning]

I recently picked up a small metalic can of their injector cleaner. It is the stuff designed to be adde3d to the fuel tank. It is about the size of a can of Donald Duck Orange juice with the pull tab. It has a warning on the side to add to a full tank of gas. It also says that you should run the whole tank through in one week or less to avoid damge to fuel lines or other fuel componets. It lists petrolem distillates, amines and butyl cellulose as the ingredients. I have never seen a warning with a time frame for use on it before. Anyone else here ever use this stuff? It must be very potent.

It was originally designed to be used in conjunction with their EFI cleaner that you ran through the engine via a kit that hooked directly to the engine. We did many of these two-step injector cleanings when I worked for Toyota. It worked very well with older Toyotas injectors. The part that you put in the tank was good stuff also. Toyota's EFI cleaners used to be made exclusively by Petro Chemical. I don't know if it still is though.

Any toyota dealer's parts counter should be able to supply it.
