-> TA>Not that I have heard. But we did have one Ford Service Manager
-> TA>advise our Seniors group that a tank of high test every now and
-> TA>then was more helpful cleaning the fuel injectors than any thing
-> TA>one could buy of the shelf.

->  I think that one is BS. Back soem yearas ago it was a problem. BMW was
->  the one that pursued the problem and at first most the High Octane gas
->  have cleaner additiaves. In fact yuor Friendly BMW dealer wouidl give
->  you a list of Approved Gas. Since that time ALL grades of gasoline
->  include the Detergent for keeping the injectors cleaned.
-> The hype i nhte Union 76 ads is just os much Madison Avenue Hype as is
-> mostly the $50 to $75 injector cleaning that some auto shops push.

I just ran a bottle or two of ethanol through the tank from time 
to time and cleaned out the carb bowls.

Speaking motorcycle here and the effect of using the ethanol
was pronounced.
