Marvel Mystery Oil: Can it clean injectors?

I don't know about MMO as a fuel injector cleaner, It probably does help a little bit, though slowly.

A great product I've found to work great, for those injectors "on their last legs" is the Berryman's B-12 CHEMTOOL. It's a concoction of aceton, Xylene, Lacquer Thinner, Isopropanol, and some other chemicals, and it works great at 1 oz. per gallon of fuel as a "shock treatment" - then MMO at 3-4 oz.. per gallon of fuel every fillup there-after.


Don't get me wrong, I could see the potential of MMO "cleaning" injectors, since it IS a "light weight oil" it could likely "squeeze past" whatever crud/carbon/varnish may be affecting a fuel injector, so it probably could help, yes I live by it, every fill up I dump at least 4 oz. into the tank..

Look. MMO is not a total snake oil product. There is more
there than just a "light weight oil".. It is a little more gentle than some
formulations.

These products that contain acetone, alcohols, etc can be pretty hard on
some elastomers...O-rings, gaskets, etc.

Nothing is really simple nowadays. I feel that a gentle
cleanout is perhaps preferable to a kamakazi attack.

Years ago some fuel cleaners were like lacquer thinner. I have been
known to use a wee bit.

I have used MMO with unknown results. I'm trying to perfect the use of
sea foam.

Oh, I would usually dump stuff in on low tank, run it for a day and
fill up.

Seems like sea foam is more expensive but has a lot of similarity to
MMO.

I never tried it but toluline also probably cleans injectors. I know
some use it to increase octane.

I can learn a lot from reading.

Seems like high octane fuels ARE likely to clean injectors better, but
don't many advertise their fuel cleaning better.
Seems like higher octane fuels have Toluene as an additive already.

I use three or four cleaners around garage, and Toluene is one of
them. MEK, lacquer thinner, also use some enamel thinner for car
painting. Kerosene too. Acetone is great if you can keep it from
disappearing.
