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. Greg |

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

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. Greg |
