Fuel injector cleaner that works?

I'd like to pour some stuff in the gas tank to clean the injectors. Are there any good brands out there that actually work? I noticed lucas makes an injector cleaner and was thinking of trying it. Anybody use it?

I use Gumout Regane. Works good on getting old carbon buildup off my piston engine. Ran a tank of that before pulling the head off a 100k engine, and it looked like new under there.

The best i have ever seen is a product made by BG products. It is called 44k. It can be found at dealerships or good repair shops. It cost around $22.00. If it does not clean your system, nothing will. It in most cases will cure leaking injectors also.
PS. Lucas is also good and so is redlines fuel system cleaner. But if you want the bomb of them all then it is 44k hands down.

yeah I used it about 6 months ago. I couldn't tell the difference because at the time my cat was clogged to hell so it ran like **** no matter what I did, besides removing the cat.

bg 44k is the best stuff i have used like someone said before if bg doesnt fix it then nothing else on the market will. i put a can of bg 44k into half a tank of gas ran it to a 1/4 tank then filled it up to half again then ran it all out. worked like a charm.

ive used Lucas and Redline. I like Lucas better because it has a green top that reminds me of lucky charms, and lucky charms sound really good right now.
