Is it ok to use injector cleaner and if so, how often.

Post by knoll »

I heard it's a good idea to use injector cleaner on my BMS Prestige 150 scooter on every fueling. Is it also a good ideal for the same on my 2018 Honda PCX 150?

Thanks for any comments.

If you live in the US you can buy Chevron or Texaco (same fuel marketed under two different brand names) gasoline. Their petrol contains a small amount of Techron, which is a cleaner/additive.

Otherwise put me down with Easyrider and You You : X3

It's a good idea to use Techron injector cleaner annually, per instructions. (Unless you have some reason to suspect dirty injectors)

Mixing it down to the 1.3 gallon level is going to be a challenge though...

Any Top Tier gas station has all the additives and cleaners any Mercedes, BMW, Jeep, R. Royce, scooter or Ferrari needs already blended in the fuel.
No longer need sea foam, techron, dry gas, etc., except for placebo effect on the owner.
Want better performance for a few years...slip in a new $7 Iridium NGK or Denso spark plug.

If I was always able to fill up with top tier gas, I'd probably agree with you. But with a limited range, sometimes, we have to get gas where/when it is available.
