[V8] Fuel injector cleaning

[Dave Saad]

I don't know where you are on the crazy scale (I peg the meter at 10 
+), but I had an old electric fuel pump that I rigged up to clean  
injectors with.  For cleaning fluid I used a bottle or two of  
Techron.   Basically I just sprayed the fluid back into the jar that  
the pump was drawing from.  It seemed to help, and I could see that  
the spray patterns were all good - and this is what you are after.
This is an easy way to burn your house down though so if you are not  
well versed in the black art of mixing electrical sparks with  
flammable liquids under pressure, you probably should let someone  
else do it.

$200 will seem cheap.
