Default Re: Fuel Injector Cleaner?

After using Primrose exclusively for a year, I have found my mileage went from 14 to mid 16s. As stated earlier, I went to Bridgestone AT Revos, so I think it would be even higher with other tires based on other treads about these tires. However, I like the way the ride and look. I'm good with 16!

What i have read in the past, if it comes in a plastic bottle it is not strong enough to do much. I use BG 44 about every 5000 miles, its not cheap about $20. a can. " JUST SAY NO TO PLASTIC"

I have had good results with the Primrose product. By the way, hydrochloric and sulfuric acid comes in plastic bottles and will eat right through your engine block. Just because something comes in a plastic container doesn't mean it must be weak.

I think we are talking about products that eat varnish not engine blocks.

My point is that the container a product is packaged in does not necessarily say anything about its ability to dissolve unwanted deposits in the fuel system. Primrose is fairly corrosive and the warning is on the PLASTIC bottle that it comes in. It certainly dissolves any varnish from old gas. Just because something comes in a metal container does not make it any better or worse for the job. Same can be said of products in plastic containers. Try the product and see if it performs as advertised and don't make assumptions based on the container.

I have never seen Primrose for sale anywhere in Northern California. I ordered mine from the AV Lubricants website that is linked in one of the previous posts.

44k is sold in plastic around va.

i thought the rule of thumb was to avoid any product labeled Mobil1.
