Default fuel injector cleaner

What are people's opinions of using a fuel injector cleaner? Any possible issues with using them? If not are there any brands that people recommend? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

A very good one is Techron by Chevron. Assuming one follows directions I know of no harm to come from the use of it.

Only harm is if you put lets say "stp super concentrated" injector cleaner,with a half a tank, there you will have a problem.

^^^ x2 ..... but it doesn't go through the injector unless you put it in the gas. I like seafoam for the manifold cleaning, but prefer others for injector cleaning.

From my reading, Valvoline and Red Line Synthetic Fuel System Cleaners seem to be the best.

Synthetic versions burn cooler and slower than traditional ones so there's less to no risk of breaking off a chunk of cr@p in the engine and hurting it.
