Default RE: Adding a cleaning agent to fuel ??

If the carb cleaner is petroleum based, forget it. It will not mix with the fuel.
I did get good results with injector cleaner, but if it smells like lamp oil, forget it.
The best bet is the carb or injector cleaners that also take care of water in the system by dissolving (absorbing) it.
Very little of the additive is needed, but it must be tested first.
take some fuel in a clean glass, and stir in a few drops of the cleaner. If the fuel gets misty or milky, discard the cleaner, it is no good. If the cleaner dissolves, and leaves the fuel clear, let it stand off for a few hours.
If no cleaner drops have formed seperated from the fuel, it is safe to use.
