You think if i put a STP Fuel injector cleaner into my gas tank.. It would clean my whole fuel lines and injectors good? Would it work good on a jet ski? And how many times would i have to use it, For it to be clean really good. Someone recommended to use that after i told him my little problem.. The jet ski not turning up as fast as it should.

Cleaning my fuel injectors.

Fuels.......
If your using a good quality fuel, your already cleaning your injectors. All the major fuel companies add injector cleaner to their products because of the engine requirments of today.
Chevron for instance uses "Techron". It's a detergent additive that's meant to clean injectors and reduce carbon deposit build-up on the valves.
I can't answer your questio as to whether or not it is recommended to add something like "STP" because, that additive may change the fuels properties enough, that you'd likely have to add more oil because it may or may not boost the octane in your fuel.
In my opinion, I'd not use it. If I had question as to a bad or dirty injector, I'd pull it and test it. You can tell when operated whether you get a dribble of fuel or a fine atomized mist.
Unless trash got past your fuel strainers, I think it un-likely that your injectors are dirty.:cheers:

Here is a new twist to aditives to fuel most gas now {in Canada} has 10% ethonol for reg. fuel but no ethonol in the higher octane grades and after reading I have found out the ethonol is making the engines run like crap so I now use a higher grade of fuel with no ethonol and find my truck and ski run great. So heres my ? why do thay not put ethonol in premium grades of gas if it is better for your motor it should be in all grades.

Ive also head that to much ethonol can be bad, Im guessing it all comes donw to money and how much they can make. gas companys dont care about there customers but they will go bankrupt in the VERY distant future.

FYI .. we "AUSSIES" feed our Sportsboats "BUNDABERG RUM" ... know as 'BUNDY RUM' to all us "RUMPIGS"!! Water and Whiskey.... thats' for them "PUSSY" boats they call them.."YAMAHA" .. or "POLARIS" .. or even "KAWASAKI". :rofl:

Cheers:cheers:
BTW.. for all those "HI" THREADS.... you might find this site useful... www.@!$$OFF.com.au!!!
Best way to clean those fuel injectors laze is to take them out and get them "flow tested" by a fuel tech. Peace of mind is a good thing when it comes to diagnosing problems.
