Not sure if anyone's seen this, or has had any experience with it, but couldn't find anything on here. Thought I'd share.

Was in the local Mitsi place ordering couple of parts today, when saw this silver bottle on the counter.

Now, I'm normally VERY paranoid about putting stuff, especially anything with 'cleaner' in the title, in my fuel. "Not in my baby" is what I've always said. So I went into this experiment expecting no difference what so ever - so I hope I've ruled out that placebo effect

But read the paperwork, asked the sales person about it, and if Mitsi are saying that it most definately will not hurt their engines, I thought I'd give it a go, and put a bottle in with my next fuel refill.

After half a tank later, much easier reving, slightly better accelleration, and she's purring like new. Seriously, I almost had to put my hand over the exhaust to see if she was still running the other day she's running so smooth. That's probably the best description. She's oh so smooth.

After the whole tank, I'm impressed. She wasn't running harsh and had great fuel economy already, and I still noticed an improvement. Popping into town now to fill her up with a fresh tank of 98 and see how that makes her feel

What's it called?

Pretty sure it's just 'Mitsubishi Fuel Cleaner'. Aluminium bottle.

Seen this stuff before. It's basically (it is) your standard Fuel Injector Cleaner (eg Nulon) which you pour into your tank when you fill up.


I guess it may be good in some circumstances but I rgenerally subscribe to the theory that for things like these, there's often a 'better' (although perhaps more expensive) solution - e.g actually taking out your injectors and cleaning them, cleaning fuel tank, change fuel filter, etc.
Plus I've read that these sorts of the additives may can induce deposits on spark plugs..

My 2c though...

"before you start it up..... MotorUp"

Isn't MotorUp in a legal case about destroying people's engines? Or is that someone else?

Like I said, I don't like cleaning additives - twas only cos it was Mitsi that I gave it a go!

might try it if Mitsi would give me a guarantee that it won't screw anything up... keep us updated on how your car runs in a few months
