I recently added a container of Red Line cleaner to a fresh tank of gas. I did so, not because I was having any obvious driveability issues, but because I purchased the car used and it had a questionable (i.e., non-existent) maintenance record. Figured it couldn't hurt, and I've been satisfied with previous Red Line products and usage.
Here's the question, and it relates, I suppose, to all fuel system cleaners, especially those that claim to get rid of carbon and other deposits. Where does the dirt and debris that's cleaned go? Is it picked up by the oil, perhaps filtered, burned in the combustion chamber, swept away by exhaust gases, or, perhaps, magically dissolved into nothingness? Any thoughts on what happens to the junk?
