Hawke You want to be a little careful with the solvent - at least check with Porsche. I had an '81 Dodge Ramcharger that had one of the first plastic tanks (on US vehicles). They supposedly used some sort of sealant which just happened to be soluble in some gasoline. (It's always a bad sign when you have your truck towed to the dealer with 2480 miles on it). Tank was replaced twice, carb. 3 times, fuel pump 3 times (I carried a spare), & fuel filters like they were chewing gum. By running filters as pairs in parallel I got so I could get from one oil change to the next. I took a filter to work, cut it open and sent the crud inside to the chem lab - carbon black and long chain organic molecules i.e. the black plastic tank (Steel mills don't have the standards to identify unknown organics.

I'm still looking and trying different products. Up until now, ....I have relied on Techron and have used others, like Chemtron. Chemtron with a touch of Mystery Oil seemed to work the best. But, based on this latest recent input from the Additive man, I will be looking at the ingredients on the label and I am getting ready to stop by a Ford or Mitsubishi dealer to get a few cans of their top product. Next is taking the gas tank off and cleaning it up on the inside. It doesn't pay to neglect cars, motorcycles, or women...........:>) It will only cost you more in the long run. hawke > So John, what injector cleaner are you using? > > Kevin Hawkins // Greensboro, NC > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://www.freecfm.com/r/raddboy > Y2K Kawasaki ZRX1100 //'93 Yamaha GTS1000 //'85 FZ750 > > > Guys, > > For the last few months I have been living with and trying to solve > injector problems on a different vehicle, not my GTS.
