Injector cleaner

I have been planning on trying some injector cleaner in my tank, any suggestions on a specific brand or one you've had good look with?

I like the Lucas fuel sys. cleaner. Just fill your fuel filter about half full at filter change. A good dose like that cleans them up nicely. Running the truck hard actually cleans them up. Don't melt 'er down, but get it good and hot. After a while they'll be nice and clean

I never believed in all the snake oil stuff but I use Stanadyne and it makes a noticable diff in my 95.

Here's a descent "how to" on cleaning injectors. While it is describing a simple set up to "power clean" a TDI injection system, you can easily do the same thing to your Cummins.

Simple, effective, low buck, and one of the best methods I know of, short of removing injectors and taking them to a shop. I like stanadyne also, but I have used Howe's Meaner Power Cleaner with good results. Kevin
