Well I put like 4 cans of the shit in my gas tank in a month and a half and it runs better than it ever has before. but I think it just becomes redundant.... no point anymore. I dont think it could cause any harm though.... anyone else?

Yeah me too!

I've been doing this too for the last month and a half. My gas mileage improved a little but I think it topped out 'cause I haven't seen any improvement in the last couple of times.

I was told that too much might ruin (burn the tips) your injectors!

i thought i posted my reply yesterday but my computer at the office probably blocked it. so here it is again:

fuel injector cleaner is generally made with jet fuel (kerosene/jp-9), which will burn hotter to burn off carbon deposits.

if you follow the directions (generally 1 bottle of cleaner to 1 tank of gas), you should be ok since it will be diluted and burn at just a high enough temperature to clean your engine up. if you put 1 or more bottles into 1/4 tank or less then i would say you're pushing your luck.

otherwise, you should be ok using it at every gas fill-up or every other fill-up or whatever you please. i like to use berryman's B12 chemtool. it comes in a large pour bottle or aeroseol form. this stuff strips paint on contact and will definitely clean your injectors.

enjoy!
