I've never used it but people swear by it. I guess I've been a little scared to use it with the miles and age of my car, I guess it can eat away at what little is left of old sludgy gaskets.

I ran about a half can through my car last weekend. It didnt seem to do all that much for me, definitely didnt smoke as much as I thought it would. I funnelled it through the brake vacuum line, which feeds into the intake manifold, I think. Is that the line you are talking about?

I just used it the other day...put it through the brake booster line. It didn't smoke or anything...maybe I put it in too slow but I revved up the rpms a bit and then poured it in until the engine just started to sputter...did this until 1/3 of the bottle was gone. Put another third in the fuel tank. I really didn't notice any difference afterwards.

I really dont see the point of it, if you change your oil every when you suppose to, for me i change it every 3k and every 3k i put one bottle of supersym vavlone fuel system clearner, that cleansa all that stuff like pistons and intake valves. but like i siad if you change you oil like your suppose to then sudgle wouildnt build up.

sludge won't build up but carbon builds up naturally from the fuel burning.... it helps but it's been said that anything under a 10hp gain you won't truly "feel" by a butt dyno... did any of you do fuel mileage tests to see if it helped that?

I like to use this product since it saws lots of advantage. Can anybody explain how to use it. the bottle shows that if you want to put in fuel than use PCV valve port, what it mean ?? Do you have to remove PCV valve and pour the liquid straight in to that hole ??????. for engine oil it says go straight into the crank case. Now is this stuff can be add straight with engine oil ??? before oil change or after oil change ???? As a gas line and injector cleaner it says to put in gas tank, is that correct. Please explain if somebody had use this stuff and had better result.
