If running any alchohol, like e85 or methanol, try to run some regular pump gas through the engine first, the. I normally just put my injectors in a sandwich baggy and in the "safe" drawer in the top box

I use a mix of Marvel Mystery/ 3M oil. Shake the fuel out, fill w/ the mix, cap each one. Ziploc bags.
This is what I've used since 94, when I began cleaning/flow testing injs. 1 come back complaint.

Update: just opened up a set of Siemens 80's, that had been stored as I mentioned, above. [1/2013]. Pulled the baskets, old o'rings, dumped the oil. Pulse tested all 8. All pulsed. Ran them in the ultrasonic, flow tested, all within 3CC's.
