   For ages I've heard that Gunk fuel injector cleaner is good.  Same
with a Texaco product, the name of which I can't remember.  Any of you
have a product for cleaning injectors, intake valves, etc.  That is,
a fuel additive that actually cleans the fuel system?

        I've always used Techron.  Back when the GTI was new, Mother 

Volkswagen began recommending their fuel additive to keep the fuel system 

clean.  A former factory mechanic revealed that his factory training 

indicated that the VW product was just re-bottled Techron.  I use a bottle 

every 4 or 5 tanks.

        Don't know which one is "best", I'd love to see a proper 

scientific test of the various additives.
