Fuel system additives? Options

[D-Man]

Okay, it seems that people are putting all kinds of stuff into their fuel systems to clear out all the unwanted material, and to improve MPG.

I've been hearing of Sea-Foam, Lucas Oil, and Various other detergents/cleaners. I wanna get this ball rolling so we can figure out what is indeed best for our systems.

So, What are ya'lls opinions?

Personally, i use a detergent based injector cleaner every few months or so, not that it causes a big difference, but i like to think that that 6-7 bucks keeps my injectors clean so that i wont have to notice a big difference, and prevent problems before they occur.

I've never tried Lucas oil stuff [not a big fan of oil additives], so I can't tell you anything about it from personal experience.

But, two things to think about.
1-I've seen [online] tests where adding Lucas creates LOTS of foam in the oil. Foam is bad in the oil.

2-Truckers using Lucas in their engines isn't the same, diesels have [slightly] different needs than gas engines and even use different engine oil.
