3 stage fuel system cleaning?

[FoMoCoSHO]

So we have: 

methanol injection (proven),
catch can system (variable results),
manual valve cleaning (walnut shell blasting, or soaking/removing, etc),
use of low volatility full synthetic oil,
periodic cleaning of the CAC, and
a minor increase in the fuel's E content

in our DI arsenal. 

In addition to running an FI cleaner through the tank periodically or a fuel system treatment, of course.  But that applies to pretty much any fuel system, MFI, PFI, DI whathaveyou.

Don't forget a little meth in the tank....

Waiting on wasinger's proof-of-concept to add that

I just tried this fuel additive called Archoil. It's normally used in the powerstroke 6.0 diesel along with the oil additive to get rid of injector stiction. I got 26mpg doing an average speed of 85 with a couple passing blasts. 130 mile trip. Engine even ran smooth at idle. Especially on a cold start. Couldn't even tell the engine was running. I'm impressed!

I was looking through the Heet website and clearly says that its safe to use on every fill up,so ordered a case of the yellow polar 100%meth from amazon,figured let me give it a try,a cheap alternative to add to your gas tank,might even clean some carbon buildup overtime.Z  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0077K96GU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I already put a couple in my tank cause new cars have tons of water in the gas tank, LOL....

I just put in a bottle of the HEET+ injector cleaner. Looks like the e85 stations here are getting rid of it and even though we just got 93 at 2 stations they have already reverted back to 91. **** Idaho and their **** gas

HEET has water dispersant though, does the Polar product also have this, Z?

The 99.97% meth sucks up any water in the tank.

The .03 is fuel conditioning.

They recommend no more than 2 bottles/fillup on a 20 gal tank.

Thats a good question though,purchased purely on the label saying 100%methanol and believe it does.    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0077K96GU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Polar is isopropyl alcohol (not methanol)

All my meth has 10% water in it.... haha. I had this bright idea of adding the water to my whole supply and not one batch at a time. I'm finally down to 6 gallons left.

Started with 35 last September

Don't worry, you still have a ways to go to catch up to bpd in this department

Based from the article,the first section applies to the isopropyl and the last section is for yellow bottles methanol.Z

You people are getting 20 MPG out of the SHO? Am I even driving the same car? I have never reset the average so after 20000 miles I'm at 17.6 MPG. I have reset the trip odometers and the best I ever see making a 60 mile drive is about 20 and that's taking it real easy. At 80 I'm below 20 mpg cruising.

I wonder if the good mileage achievers are in areas with less ethanol in the fuel

 

[anthonylee337]

All this chat about cleaning but has anyone experiencing power loss? I have 20k miles on mine with no sign of a power loss so I'm sticking to if it ain't broke don't fix it! When it comes a day when I experience rough idle and loss of horsepower I am hoping someone will have a safe way to clean our engines

I run 93 octane 10% ethanol blend and get 21mpg combined. I am running the livernois 4+ 93 octane tune w/catless DP's. I did drop down to 19 or so before I had the BG fuel/air service done. Car is a '12 PP with 52k miles
