Default Fuel Injector Cleaning Kit

Hey guys, I am just wondering where I can get a kit for cleaning the fuel injectors. I am not looking for the stuff you put in the tank or anything like that... It is like a can that hooks up to the fuel rail and you fire up the car without the fuel pump on so that it only runs off of the can... Anybody know what I am talkin about and where I can get it? Thanks alit fellas

Daniel

well actually it is a speical type of injecting system that connects to the pressure releif on ur fuel rail and yea your right you must pull the fuse on the fuel pump tooo but im not sure how much all this would cost you sounds lik it can be pretty pricy to me

I believe what your talking about is that "seafoam" ****. you hook it in, and run the car. I believe the name of it is seafoam somethin or other. Ill check more into it, i've used it before.

I've never heard of it if they do make it. I usually just pull the fuel rails off and pull the injectors out and clean them off by hand.

Thanks alot bud, but I said the stuff that you don't put in your tank. I am pretty knowledgeable in the seafoam lol, done it quite a few times. But no there is somethng that actually hooks up to your fuel rail that is pressurized in a can and it cleans your injectors while running. But thanks for the help anyways bud.

I work at advanced auto and I know they sell it, but its back in commercial they will still sell it to you but you just have to ask for it and talk to someone who knows there stuff, forgot the name of it, but ill try and find it out for you, im away at school now, but I know what your talkin about, hooks directly to the fuel rails.

Well I called NAPA and they said that it was a commercial item, and that they don't sell the adapter to hook it up to the fuel rail. Just the actual cleaner, so does anyone know where to get the hose to hook up the cleaner?!?
