using add to gas injector cleaners

[suzonka]

Can I safely use an injector cleaner like tech tron or Lucas , without having a clogged fuel filter problem later on ?

[ezb57e]

Yes. Techron is a good product.
What makes you think it would affect your filter?

im just speculating that if it cleans injectors could it also loosen up particles from your gas tank and next stop fuel filter

[ezb57e]

The things that get in your tank tend to be plain old sand/dust/metal particles and are very different from the deposits that can occur in an injector.
Besides, fuel filters are made to hold particles and let fuel flow.
They do need to be changed now and then.

okay, i get the injector cleaner but what about the gas additive? Here in Mexico at the Pemex gas stations they ask when you fill up if you want some put in the tank. I do about every 3000 miles but is it necessary? or a waste of $$$

You know that is the most asked question ,Does it really work ,improve or clean , well I can see it being a very high detergent that it may help clean the injectors how ever . is there a big difference in you engien running can you actually tell and feel the difference.?? Hmmmm

Basic life lesson. The more people try to sell you something, the less likely you actually need it.

Thanks for your answer

The most basic and oldest fuel additive is alcohol. Alcohol will mix with small amounts of water and become an inferior, but combustible fuel, and it wont freeze like water.
Water often ends up in fuel tanks through poor handling and leaky storage tanks, all the way through the supply chain and could end up in your tank.
I have no first hand knowledge, but I suspect the gasoline storage and handling processes in Mexico could be a bit different than in the US, and the likelihood of contaminants higher in general. Something to deal with water might not be a bad idea occasionally. Of course you can buy the very same alcohol at the drugstore for $1 or less.
I also suspect that some costly chemicals and processes used in US fuel production may be missing south of the border. They may also have a high level of ethanol, which has been shown to damage fuel system components over time, at high percentages. I doubt any fuel additive can help that.
Deposits can take along time to get to where they become a problem. They can be growing all the time until the day they become bad enough to start causing a problem.
Generally, I think fuels have gotten better and deposits are less of a problem, but there are cases.

IF you check out STP , they now have a fuel injector cleaner that takes care of the ethanol

Thanks ezb57e for that information, i do live near a Pemex refinery and it's on the beach in Baja California so the ocean is right there, it's probably okay to assume there's water in the storage tanks and every gas station is a Pemex. I think I will keep using it for now and ask the locales what they do.

If your gonna add alcholhol get 99% plus from online else the drugstore version even at 91% is likely gonna add more water than you already have
