seafoams cheaper easier and quicker 

[scottykilmer]

@TeenIronMan cheaper and easier, yes. But weaker than piss and unless you inject it into the system with a machine in the video, it will not clean very well.

@scottykilmer How about using an injector cleaner thru the fuel tank? My auntie told me she uses every now and then an injector cleaner that doesn't need all this to do. she just pours it in the fuel tank normally and she uses the car normally. is that recommended?

[scottykilmer]

@elchicoboy that kind of cleaning is VERY weak, ok for tiny problems, but won't get rid of carbon build up like this process will.

I've got a similar fuel injection cleaning system made by OTC. One thing I noticed in your vid - do you clamp off the fuel return line? I normally do that with my OTC system, so all of the injector cleaner runs through the injectors and none is 'wasted' by going into the fuel tank. Or is that why you run a little less than normal pressure so the fuel pressure regulator won't activate and force the cleaner back into the tank?

[scottykilmer]

@AKJeeper you can go either way, but lower pressure keeps most from not going back into the tank, as the car is running 100 percent on the cleaner.

@kennyp987 to each his own, I have fun making em, so I think you're stupid myself.

[scottykilmer]

@cliffistheman yea, you run it till it stops running, then it's done. The fuel pump has been turned off during this process, so it does not run dry and ruin itself during the cleaning.

@Ethanbc1 Sometimes you have to buy tools to do the job.

@TeenIronMan that's for ricers

[TeenIronMan]

@scottykilmer the average person wont know how to setup or use this, plus your going to need a compressor which people may not have. And so far its been working for me. Not a single engine problem yet.

@mattmench An OK cleaner, but I use lacquer thinner, cheaper and works better.
