300 Hour Test: Best Fuel Injector Cleaner

- Have you ever wondered which fuel injector cleaner is the BEST? Well...this video will answer some of that question for you to make an informed enough decision on which injector cleaner is best for you.
I somewhat scientifically tested Lucas, Seafoam, Seafoam Concentrate, Royal Purple Max Clean, Gumout, Marvel Mystery Oil, and a secret fluid that performs better than the rest...and it also performs worse than all of them by soaking spark plugs in each cleaning fluid to see if it could remove the carbon and deposits from the plugs...

Instructions weren’t clear so I just dumped a whole gallon of vinegar in my tank 👍
You’ll be fine…as long as your drain it all out before turning the key to start the car lol
@@TorqueAndTwisted too late. Now my whole car corroded.
You’ll be fine…open up a roadside rust and lemonade stand
Mastertech move right there

Lucas is an upper cylinder lubricant to lube rings and help break up stuck rings, not just a cleaner thats why viscosity is oil like.
Yes the Lucas and the Marvel are the two that are much more like an oil and act a bit more like oil as well during this test.
need lube with the corn gas thats all over now
I thought that was a very good test considering the ambient temperature, but I'm sticking with Seafoam...
I've got no issues with Seafoam. Firm believer in that stuff.
I am no expert by no means but as I was watching I got to wondering if it would have a different reaction if it was mixed with actual gas. Wonder is there may be a chemical reaction verse just the cleaner. Not trying to be a Richard hahaha was just wondering loved the video I definitely learned something
I thought about doing that (premixing with gas) but decided against doubleing the more combustible fuels open in my small garage.
Would results have changed? Very likeli yes, but it would be hard to differentiate what the gasoline was just doing by itself versus the mixture.
Why is it that nobody ever does any thing like this with the BG44K?
I got a lot of recommendations to try that one out, but I couldn’t find it at the local store when I went to buy all these. I plan on doing another round with the top contenders from this round plus all the recommended other options from the comment section. Cheers and thanks for watching ✌️
I think testing using a standardized ASTM method would be a bit more accurate. That would also not involve spark plugs but actual injectors. This test would be more accurately described as a carbon removal test. Also as a foot note check your owners manual for the use of fuel additives as they may not be allowed by the manufacturer especially for turbo equipped vehicles. Just FYI
I’m a DIY guy at home in a small shop, I likely didn’t have the budget, time or space for ASTM methods. If you’re looking for the much more scientific approaches, I’m sure there’s videos out there. But in terms of using what you got on hand with a dirty spark plug covered in fuel additive, and you can start to form some theories
Carbon off liquid, bg44, redline another test
Great suggestion! I’ll try to round those up for the next battle
deserves a ton of views
Thank you 👍👍
It would be cool if you do a diff. brand head to head, cleaning clogged fuel injectors?!
Good idea but I don’t really have a way to record that.
What in the world are you testing? A spark plug cleaner, and a wire brush?
Don’t you think these injector cleaners should be diluted in gasoline, like they would in your car? You’re not going to be able to use your wire brush in cars fuel injection system either. I’m not sure what exactly you are trying to show us.
I’m simply showing you how these cleaners stack up against carbon build up with what I could find to test with at a hardware store. Sorry if this confused you somehow.
Man, i love me some Marvel Mystery Oil.
Well, my evo loved it c:
It sure is come good stuff!! Did you run it in the gas or the oil or both?
@@TorqueAndTwisted Both! An 80 year old Mitsubishi mechanic told me it would help with noisy hydraulic lifters. Idk. I guess it worked for that too
Nice! That mechanic knew what he was talking about. Mitsubishi lifters have been some of the noisiest lifters of all time. They don't age well either.
@@TorqueAndTwisted Yeah! Hell, I'm still a Mitsu guy to this day. They've never let me down!
I love my Mitsubishis, I’ve had them on and off for almost 25 years now. Ranging from Starions, DSMs and 3000GT/Stealths. I’ve driven one Evo MR but never had the chance to own one yet
So if this is a fuel injector cleaning test... Why are you cleaning a spark plug?
So you can see the results. I don't have a camera that fits inside fuel injectors.
You do know that the electrode side of spark plugs get sprayed with fuel, right?
@@dunerinaz obviously. But spraying and soaking aren't the same thing... Besides an injector isn't in the combustion chamber so it would never come in contact with combustion Gases... Unless it's DI. All it will ever face is gunk that gets through the fuel filter or PCV valve... You ever seen actual tests for Injectors and cleaning procedures? They have them... They can actually test cleaners by spraying... Soaking though, nobody does that...
@@TorqueAndTwisted you don't need one... Just take the injector out of the car and hook it to a battery (PWM if you want) while using a Venturi pipe to syphon cleaner and push pressurized air through a normal compressor through it at ~55Psi or whatever your cars injector runs.
BG44k
I got a lot of comments suggesting that one, I’ll be sure to include it next round. Thanks 👍👍
Àdd redline, bg44, royal purple
@@eliteflix1 He just did Royal Purple Max Clean. He could try Royal Purple Max Atomizer and Max Restore
You incredibly missed THE BEST one: BERRYMAN'S B-12 CHEMTOOL!!!!
I was finally able to find Berryman's at a local store. It will be part of the "round 2" of this fuel injector testing series for sure! Got a lot of comments recommending that one, thanks for watching!
or 505 CRF Fuel System Treatment. There several out there with good followings.
Thanks for the suggestion on that one, I’ll see if I can find it for my round two of fuel, injector cleaner tests
