  Amen,

You are using one of the good units.  A two line flush system is a must. iwas selling and training the Carbon
Clean unit way before Motorvac hit the street.
The motorvac is a spin off the carbon clean .  Any unit that uses the two line flush method is worth having
done.
The gm top engine cleaner and the ford factory stuff is great chemical and should be used at a 5 to one mixture
rate with the gasoline. We have done tons of reasearch on the chemicals and these passed with flying colors.
Keep watching our web site for my article " fuel service of the 90's"  will post later this month at :

i have a number of customers that have made up their own units. But for the serious folks they should just buy
the kits for all the fittings etc.

&nbsp; Well, I'd like an expert's opinion, but we've been using a machine
which circulates a solution of
 gasoline and cleaner through the injectorsand fuel rails while they
are on the vehicle.&nbsp; It's called
 Motorvac, and it's made by Sun Equipment.&nbsp; The point of the machine
is to remove carbon from the engine but
 I have seen visible improvements in GM TBI spray patterns, and Ford
port setups respond really well.

The cleaning solution is so similar to GM's Top Engine Cleaner that
we've used the GM stuff pretty
 interchangeably.&nbsp; Shouldn't be too hard to rig up a tank, pump,
supply and return lines and let this stuff
 circulate for a while.&nbsp; If you could fire the injector(s) the
solution could flow through them for a while,
 and after that I'd replace the filters and O rings.
