Default Fuel Injector Cleaners

Any suggestions for cleaning fuel injectors? Something to add to the fuel or perhaps a spray that won't damage anything? Thanks.

I used the Lucas fuel injector cleaner. I did not really see a difference, but you just pour it into the gas.

Yes it does clean the injectors.
I am a huge fan of Sea Foam. I use one ounce per gallon of fuel every 1,000 miles. I put several ounces of it in with the oil about 500 miles before an oil change.
I also use top tier gasoline.....shell, exxon, chevron ..... the fuel that has fuel additive cleaners in the fuel.

I like 3oz of Techron (sold at Chevron) every 1000 miles in a full tank. Comes in a 12 oz bottle.

I usually try to find any Shell/Texaco or Chevron stations when out on a long run. Of course, any gas will work in a pinch, and one or two tanks is not going to hurt anything. I run Chevron almost exclusively, but have put some basic STP fuel system cleaner in on occasions.

I never believed the hype about Seafoam but I finally decided to give it a chance.
My lawn mower is really neglected. I leave fuel in it over the winter, never change the oil or even check it (hey, the damn thing was less than $150 so why bother doing all that when it lasts for 3 years or so before I have to get another one)
Anyways it was running pretty rough so I decided it would be a good test to see if Seafoam would help. I poured some in the gas can before I poured it into the mowers tank and I'll be damned if it didn't smooth that thing out. It runs almost as smooth as when I bought it now, I'm not kidding.
I'm a believer now.
