I've never done this myself, but if I felt like I had a lot of carbon
deposits I might give it a try some day.  Granted it sounds scary, but
it isn't really all that much different from the setup people are using
for water injection.

You just have to be careful to ensure the water enters the intake as a
mist (which it should given the small size of the vacuum hoses on the
intake).

I think I remember Huw Powell telling me he did something like this on
his 90, except I think he tried using both water and Techron (Huw,
correct me if I'm wrong).
