12 best 3m fuel system cleaners

Product description

3M Complete Fuel System Cleaner is a high quality fuel tank additive that effectively cleans fuel injectors, intake valves, and combustion chambers - removing carbon, gum, resin and varnish deposits to help improve fuel economy and restore power.

From the Manufacturer

3M Complete Fuel System Cleaner works in the time that it takes to consume one tank of gasoline (15 – 20 gallons). In addition to removing gums, resins and deposits, this fuel system cleaner can also protect against the carbon build up that occurs over time.

With the increased use of lower and mixed qualities of discount gasoline, the need for cleaning your engine from the inside-out is becoming increasingly important. The build up of deposits affects engine performance, causing poor fuel economy, loss of horsepower, rough idling and hesitations when stepping on the gas pedal. These problems are often first noticed when starting the vehicle, after driving shorter distances or driving at lower speeds.

By adding a quality fuel additive/cleaner, like 3M Fuel System Cleaner, it can prevent and even eliminate problems. Using our fuel system cleaner every 3,000 – 4,000 miles can keep the engine clean and running efficiently. Fuel system cleaners are a small investment in better automotive performance.

• Cleans the entire fuel system, including the fuel injectors, intake valves and combustion chambers
• Easy to pour bottle reduces chances of spills
• Helps restore lost horse power and fuel economy
• Helps to eliminate surging, stalling and hesitation due to dirty fuel injectors
• Designed to be used every 3,000 miles to maintain performance
• Also cleans gasoline direct injection (GDI) systems

• Designed to clean intake valves and combustion chambers
• Removes fuel injector deposits during the time it takes to consume one tank of gas
• Protects against carbon buildup and engine knock
• Eliminates stalling, hesitation and poor performance due to dirty fuel system
• Restores power and fuel economy

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the fuel injector cleaner come with a intake aerosol adaptor hose? do we need to a hose to use the kit? thanks
Answer:	One is synthetic, the larger one is not
Question:	Can you use on an outboard motor
Answer:	Yes, this can be used for ANY vehicle lubricating system. You would use 2 oz. for every 5 quarts of oil.
Question:	Does it work on Nissan Rogue 2008? Thank you
Answer:	Don't know yet. I had used this product many years ago in a diesel with syntheticand it worked very well. testing it now again in gas engine. Maybe contact Bell Labs for this question.
Question:	Is this a 6-pack like the image claims or is it only one bottle
Answer:	Yes, I have used it with Mobile 1 and Valvoline synthetics. The product works best when you use it when you change your oil. I did not do that. I added it in the middle of my 10k cycle and it is stopping blow by by at least 50%. I will switch over to Royal Purple high mileage 10w30 and I expect without all that junk floating in the oil, the product will work much better. I intend to flush the engine with Lubri Moly engine flush. That should give me a running start and a clean engine so more of the metal can plate the cylinders and stop blow by. I have tried everything on the market to stop blow by. Nothing has worked except this. I recommend it highly!

User questions & answers

Question:	What size fitting threads does this have
Answer:	Best to find a professional mechanic, if you're able. If you don't have a good intake line and there is no after the mass air flow vacuum line or port you may need to put it in front throttle body and have the air intake duct/tube disconnected. You want to be sure the cleaner does not go through the air charge tube. This could very well be wasted if you do not use it properly. I have been able to have the intake duct/boot at the throttle body while the vehicle is running. Also while it is running unplug the mass air flow sensor so it will remain running after the intake duct/boot is removed. If you're able to do all this, have someone rev the engine every 15 to 20 seconds while spraying into the throttle body, hold the rev for 10 to 15 seconds. You will have faults/engine light that will need to be cleared. This is best when the engine is hot, use a good fuel injection cleaner in the tank before and after service and change oil after doing this service as it tends to wash some contaminates into the crankcase. If you want to be sure to keep your injectors and carbon out of your engine use a good oil change flush before you change it, perhaps after you do this service it requires only idling so during the service is not recommended. If you have never done intake service I would also suggest using 2 cans. This stuff works well for home use. I would think Lubegard flush and injector cleaner are suitable. I also really like Luqui Moly valve clean and injection cleaner, the engine flush is also very good from them too. A bit pricey but the Ceratec from Luquimoly is also a great product for people wanting to prolong the life of their engine. I Have worked on several generations or direct injection and find doing nothing WILL cause issues but even the most basic routine maintenance will help....even water. seen a turbo BMW with direct injection that had a water/methanol line built into washer tank system... it worked..never did have to do a valve service on that one...and its still well over 200,000 miles...
Question:	Can you use marine fuel filters for diesel application
Answer:	Hard question to answer without knowing much more about your vehicle and what exactly it is doing. Stalling and rough idle can be caused by many things. From my experience AT-100 does a nice job of cleaning the fuel system in the throttle body area, intake manifold area and intake valve surfaces. Where you introduce AT-100 into your intake system determines what components and areas you will be cleaning. It is a relatively inexpensive way to try to improve your engine symptoms. Not too much to lose except some time and money by trying it. If your intake system is dirty and that is the only thing wrong with your car, then this will help. I view using the product as more of a preventative maintenance practice than a corrective action. If you are able to have a mechanic look at your car and see what it’s doing that may be a better route to take.
Question:	Where to buy replacement filters
Answer:	The goal is to deliver this cleaner to the back of the intake valve and avoid contact with the mass air flow sensor. So, any vacuum line path which is after MAF is fine.
Question:	is this good for a 85HP outboard
Answer:	What can be easily done, find the vaccume line heading into the intake manifold, usually from a brake booster, plug in the end of the tube, and that should work.

User questions & answers

Question:	can someone tell me what starts turning them dark on the corners, almost black? thank you
Answer:	The sodium chloride in softened water is a dissolved solid, which this filter will not remove. This filter removes suspended solids. To remove residual sodium you need reverse osmosis or something similar, like Zero Water.
Question:	Can these be used on acrylic showers/tubs? Will they scratch or void a warranty
Answer:	A close examination of a Body Glove filter photo shows that the threads on the bg1000c appear to be different from those of the 3M Aqua-Pure AP Easy C-CS-FF cartridge. I doubt that one could replace the other.
Question:	Are these the same things as the scotch-brite dobie scrub & wipe cloth, 5.9 in. x 3.9 in--- i like that these are thinner than the typical sponge
Answer:	I am not sure. I listed it based on the name. Possibly Aqua Pure site can help clarify. Thank you for your consideration. Lisa
Question:	What are these made of
Answer:	We had the same issue, this replacement filter is identical.

User questions & answers

Question:	f150 tailgate got "kissed" by a forklift truck, has a hole punched in it. Will this product bond the detached piece of aluminum back on
Answer:	If your putting a patch over the injury and grind the areas clean, i would say yes.
Question:	I’m trying to put plastic wall panels in my business, is this good to use as a adhesive
Answer:	It will work but it is overkill and far too costly when compared with other options. 3M makes double-sided foam tape that work great for hanging panels on walls. Commercial liquid nails would also work and is far more economical. When the label for 08115 says "panel adhesive" they are referring to automotive panels, fenders, quarter panels, etc.
Question:	When using it for body pieces, do you leave the primer on or use it on bare metal
Answer:	The directions specifically state to use a 50 grit sanding disc to prep the surface to bare metal. You cover all bare metal with the adhesive so you get no surface rust.
Question:	I need this for a 17 foot project. Will this be enough
Answer:	doesn't go far ... I used 2 tubes on a mustang in probably a 15ft span by 2 inches wide ... holds strong as welding but pricey !
