Default Is it ok to spray while using fuel system cleaner?

I'm just curious, is it ok to spray your car while you are using some fuel system cleaner, gas treatment, seafoam etc??

I wouldn't think you'd want some of those chemicals going thru your fuel solenoids for the risk of ruining the rubber inside where the plunger rest. Some solvent could make them swell up. Just a thought.

a verry wise man (who builds, cleans, flows etc Injectors) told me a few years back that i should always run a good fuel injector cleaner threw my car a couple times a season. he also said he did years of testing, and running fuel injector cleaner every few tanks of fuel threw street cars helps keep the injector baskets allot cleaner and the car running better. i use injector cleaner in every single car in my family as well as the 3 boats me and my dad own, and our bikes.

i can verify that over the past 5-6 years i have been running fuel system cleaner with spray i have never had an issue, and i have used.
NOS, NX, Cold fussion, dyno tune, and even Nitrous works Noids and never had an issue that i feel was ever caused by the cleaner.
hope this helps
