General Car Chat / Fuel tank injector cleaner / carb cleaner - Same stuff ?
« on: 16 March 2015, 22:04:25 »
I was minding my own business in shops the other day and I noticed that the petrol additive for cleaning injectors (STP brand I think) had two flavours, one was for "Suitable for Fuel injection" engines the other for "carburetor" based engines.
When I examined the bottles BOTH appeared to have the SAME red looking liquid, same shade and appeared same viscosity ( well, shook both bottles and appeared identical ! So not that scientific !)
The information and blurb on bottles was identical other than one making the reference to Injectors.
One however was HALF PRICE ! (The carburetor one) and so the thought occurred that would it matter which one I used ?
Also I guess, is it worth using the stuff at all ?
Thoughts ?
(There was a different 3rd one for Diesel so not mixed up with that one !!!)
