Question Gas Treatment??

This might be a rediculous question....but is it ok to use a gas treatment/injector cleaner in the rotary engine? I have an '88 Convertible. If so, is there a particular kind that you would recommend? Thanks for your help.

No question is rediculous. Yes it's ok to use. Can't hurt anything. Techron is one of the better ones that comes to mind.

We've covered all this before, but here's the basic idea.

No, it won't cause you problems if you use it.

That said, there won't really be any benefit either. It's all snake-oil. Sometimes, if problems are caused by minor, soft deposits, these cleaners will work.

The only way to have the injectors cleaned properly is to remove them and send them out to an injection shop.
