Hello Tom -

CA>>>> You get the same effect by pouring STP into the intake
CA>>>> while racing the engine in your driveway. :-) 

TW>>> YES there are several chemicals yuo can poor i nthe
TW>>> intake to "Blow" out any carbon accumilication. 

CA>> Michigan farmers (some) apparently used half water half
CA>> fuel oil. 

TW> Kerosene and water was popular. As is just plain water if

TW>>> Adn I understand water/Alcohol injection will fairly well

I was told that water-injection was popular on taxi cabs at one
time. I've never seen one with water-injection but that's what
I was told. Supposedly helped with the gas mileage. 

When younger I used to clean my spark plugs using STP oil
treatment poured down my carburetor. It worked well and saved
me some elbow grease. :-) 

If you enjoy 'car talk' there is a PBS radio show that you can
stream and listen to online at:

I enjoy it usually.  A bit tongue-in-cheek but informative at
the same time.
