Well from what a spokesman from GM told a friend of mine about injector cleaners that you put in your gas tank is that it can cause the in tank fuel pump to fail since its nylon bearings use gas to lubricate them, this might not be true but I would think it would hold true to any car, truck that has an intank fuel pump. As far as cleaning the valves they do this becuase fuel is sprayed in the intake and travels over the valve thats how their cleaned so other then the pump issue I wouldnt see why it wouldnt work. You can also take it to a garage and have them clean your injectors ( you may possibly be able to be the cleaner set up your self but it may be priced high).

If you are to use any injector cleaner you should use Fuel Power by Lube Control www.lubecontrol.com

Read up on them here http://theoildrop.server101.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=forum;f=5 ...everything you want to know about cleaners. Sometimes referred to as FP.

Here is some other info http://www.clubgp.com/newforum/tm.asp?m=1754687&p=6&tmode=1&smode=1

I believe it will, but you may want to ask the members over at http://theoildrop.server101.com/cgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum;f=5;DaysPrune=1000

I do not see why it would not.

Well like I posted earlyer but this is from GM they say that some additives can damage the intank fuel pump. I have never and will never use a pour in injector cleaner, but I know of people that use them annually. I say it's up to the owner of the car as to take the chance or take it to a garage and have it cleaned there.

tjfree Im not saying that you are a sales person but you do sound like you are trying to pitch this product to people on here like a sales person would. I say this becuase I've dealt with sales people and they all try to push their product and if you question it they tell you to try something else and see if it works for you then come back to theirs after the other product fails.

dude a rotary engine is different than a piston engine, different things are good for piston engines and rotarys so stop betting that it would work great for no reason at all

I actually emailed them and they replied saying it works great with rotary engines....easy buddy. Ask Terry Dyson of Dyson Analysis if you want.

fcdriver, I understand your hesitation and I just meant above to use whatever you want I was just giving another option that has the following of very knowledgable people.

I dug up some more info for you to read, these are just a couple I have seen on boards I use. First heard of them on www.bobistheoilguy.com .

Much more is on the bobistheoilguy.com site. I just know there is a lot of junk out there...heck I've used it! And when something actually works I like to let others know, that's all.

Actually I think Fuel Power is what you would want to add to your fuel.

I searched over on bobistheilguy.com but could not find anything for you reguarding rotary engines.

Why not just sign up and ask the members over there? They know what they're talking about.
