Hello Paul,

    A while back someone had a plan for a fuel injector tester / cleaner.

Do you happen to still have it on file where you could re-send it?

    Some things get built and others just get talked about.  Did anyone

ever say whether or not they ever built the thing, and did they give you any
feedback on how well it worked or what it cost to build?  While on the
subject of injectors, what would you clean them with that would do no harm
to the materials they're made of?

    The reason I sound like I don't know anything is simple.  -  I don't :-)

Thanks,
Robin

I am rather dull on this subject too. There is some kind of gasoline out

here in CA that

is supposed to clean them. Techron or some such. I'll search the messages.

  Techron is a Chevron additive that has been around for at least 30 yrs.
Has been recommended by Porsche factory for many years to keep FI clean.
Most fuels have at least a bit of FI cleaner in them these days.  There is
a cheaper Chevron 'Fuel Injection Cleaner with Techron' out these days,
I'd bet it is just diluted Techron to hold down the price.  I buy mine
at a bulk oil distributor in case lots and use it regularly in all my cars,
Porsche included.  This stuff cleans off the crud burned onto your intake
valves from leaky intake stem seals, too (fried lube oil).
