Default Berryman's fuel additive (well, it works in metal engines)

Can't say I've heard of that, but it sounds interesting.
I've heard of taking a vehicle to the repair garage for fuel
injector cleaning.


The cleaner rig is what the garage uses to clean your injectors and
charge you $100 for the 20 minutes of time and the can of cleaner they
buy in bulk for $3.

It's pretty decent stuff, I use it in higher concentrations
than
specified when fueling my mower and other yard equipment in
the spring
after they sit unused in the winter (I also use Sta-Bil in
all fuel). It
does seem to help clear out any gunk that was forming. For
automotive
use, you really have to use it on a nearly empty tank to
make sure you
get a decent concentration to the engine.

Assuming this is a fuel injected engine, I prefer to use one
of the
pressure feed injector cleaner rigs that feeds the injectors
directly
via the fuel rail test port. These units run (at idle) the
engine on
100% cleaner and work very well. The cleaner rig runs
$100-$200, but the
cans of pressurized cleaner are only ~$6-$8. You will see a
very
noticeable improvement after use if the injectors were
gunked up.
