Hi Volks, I was recently buying fuel and a bottle of injector cleaner from a service station owner I know when (regarding the injector cleaner) he said: "I really shouldn't be telling you this 'cos I want to sell injector cleaner but putting a litre or two of diesel in with the unleaded fuel when you fill up will work just as well but at a fraction of the cost" Well I can't argue about the cost differential....Diesel in Oz is around the 90c/litre whereas a 500ml bottle of injector cleaner is usually about $10.50. He claims injector cleaner is predominately diesel anyway with a few aromatics thrown in.... I can see why this would work and I have no reason to doubt this fellow,I've known him for years, but I'm interested in opinions from the list before I (maybe) ever consider it. Good idea?/ Bad idea?/ Ever done it?/ This guy's fulla sh*t! /Don't be so #$&*ing stupid! ...or any others you can think of...;) Thanks, Steve O Blue Mountains NSW Australia '92 Transporter WBX Kombi '76 Transporter Double Cab '68 Beetle '00 Transporter 5Cyl Double Cab (work truck) "the probability of an event occurring is in an inverse ratio to it's desireability"
