Weird result from fuel injector cleaner.
All I did was one treatment using Shell fuel injector cleaner the other day and as I got down to about 50mi. left, a bunch of smoke started coming out of the muffler. I stopped the car thinking there was something majorly wrong with the engine or something. I even called my mechanic and he said the seals on the turbo could be shot and that I'd probably have to get a new turbo. All disappointed, I started the car up again, and magically the smoke started calming down until it completely went away. The car runs even better now it seems. I never used Seafoam before, but I heard what happened is similar to doing that? Did this ever happen to anyone?

I always use shell 93 octane (supposedly with that v-power cleaning stuff) but im currently about to get some lucas fuel injector cleaner tomorrow, and ill let you know
|
I have about 100 miles left on a bottle of Lucas, I will let you know what I get
|
Which also, how many miles are you guys seeing on a tank of gas?
|
i get around 280 from a full tank, but i drive short distance to and from school/work (around 5 miles one way)
ohh and btw i dont really run it down to empty LOL |
I get around 400mi doing about 70% freeway. I could probably get more, but I usually fill up when the car beeps at me.
|
wow, you guys get way better than me. my 01 1.8tq tip, im getting only bout 240-250. i have the diode mod and all, but im not beating the snot out of it...grrr
|
im averaging 230 before the light beeps at me, then fill up.. How much of the lucas stuff did you use?
