What should you do if you know that your fuel injector is already clogged? The best thing that you can do is to clean it but how are you going to do that?

These are some of the things that you can do:

-Pour the bottle contents into the gas tank.

-Make sure that you will have a full tank of gas.

-You can use a second bottle so that you can fill up the rest of the gas tank.

-Take note that you would need to do this every 7,000 miles.

-Some people would do it every time they would need to change the oil.

When you are able to clean your fuel injector, you will be able to keep your engine running smoothly.
