...I've Searched, and haven't seen (or found), a Recommended Fuel injector Cleaner.
I used a product in a Gold bottle (can't remember the name to save my soul), that was designed for Truck tanks up to 35 gallons, and it Seemed to have helped my mileage.

...Anybody Else use these products?

Chevron makes a product called Proguard that has Techrolene in it. I believe that it is one of the best out there. I also would use B&G system cleaner. You will get mixed answers on this. Some say no some say yes. In my part of the country they make us use winter blend gas a mix of mtbe and corn shucks. Most folks think it is bad fuel. So in the spring I will treat a tank with cleaner. I think it really works for my own 2 cents.

...they sell fuel with Antifreeze?
Well, it stands to Reason, I've heard it gets colder than 32 degrees in some States? :cold:

I use BG44K about twice a year. I verified this with my service manager at the dealer who recommended using a can after coming off the winter gas, and then again after coming off the summer gas. Some have argued that Nissan says not to use any injector cleaner per the manual, but that's just cuz Nissan can't endorse one product over the other and doesn't wany people putting the crappy stuff in the tank (also verified by my SM). My dealer even sells the BG44K in the parts showroom. I used this stuff in my Tundra and Tacoma, and always noticed a difference. Seafoam is good also, from what I hear. I've used Techron in the past with decent results, too.

that seafoam stuff realy does work. you put a little in your intake manifold and let it run untill it chokes out then let it sit for 10 minutes. then remove the spark plugs and pour a little down each spark plug hole and let the motor turn over a few times and sit for another 10 minutes. put plugs back in and start it back up and all that junk will come out. ive never used this on new cars though because i cant imagine that they get all that dirty that fast, but on older cars it works miracles, carbon buildup is all gone

I just added Techrolene last week (10K miles). My mechanic recommended it years ago for my other vehicles.

You know the owners manual say not to use them, but they have Nissan branded fuel injector cleaner at the parts counter of my local dealership? Strange huh

That is not an easy question to answer, because
it depends on the amount of fuel injector
cleaner cotained in the gas that you use.
About 1990 the local BMW dealer would include
a case of the Chevron cleaner with the car
because at that time BMW did not think that
most gasolines contained enough cleaner. However,
about the mid 1990's the amount of cleaner in
the ' name brand ' gasolines was increased. The
problem now is that there are so many places
selling gas, it is hard to tell what you are
getting in the additive package contained in
the gas. There is a place near by that sells gas
cheap. It actually has a sign at the pumps stating
the gas contains no additive package at all. It
is just raw gas.
