Thumbs up Lucas fuel system cleaner rocks!

I just replaced my fuel filter and I figured it was a good time to run a fuel system cleaner. I asked around and had several people say Lucas was the best, and I decided to give it a try.

WOW. I have never had an additive make such a big improvement before. My throttle response increased alot. It also got rid of a ever so tiny mis I had. Smooth as a baby's *** know.

I'd have agree. I have ran the Lucas injector cleaner for years. It does clean well, but it won't make a huge performance improvement like changing out a relatively dirty fuel filter. I just changed mine and it was causing the right injector bank to run very lean at WOT. The filter wasn't that old either I guess I just got some dirty fuel. Now that there is a clean filter it runs like a raped ape again.

Seafoam can also be ran as an injector cleaner and does well, and I also like the Chevron stuff too. Also, I found it is cheaper to just buy the big bottle of Lucas injector cleaner as opposed to multiple small bottles.

Changing two things and attributing all the corresponding improvements to one of them FTW.
