Message	a year ago... i have heard good reviews on chevron techron fuel injector cleaner from the board. so i decided to give it a try. not long afterwards (within a month) both my #4 and #6 were gone. i just chalked it up to coincidence and didn't think anything of it since many on here use it without a problem. a week ago... i figured its been a while since i've given the injectors a good cleaning, so i poured in a bottle and drove long distance. in under a week after use, my injectors are gone again! another coincidence? i really don't know. but strangely, it's the same exact injectors =/ so what do you guys think? maybe that stuff is too strong for older injectors to handle? i just think that its too much of a coincidence, especially considering the timing of failure right after usage. mike zxredline@yahoo.com
