People don't make the mistake that I did on my 99 mustang gt. I put a fuel cleaner in my tank and did not replace my fuel filter first so the cleaner loosened up all the crud that was accumulated inside of my filter and the loosened crud accumulated inside of my injectors and stopped them up, so if you introduce a fuel cleaner into your tank then I would advise you to have a relatively new fuel filter first. Experience is a wonderful and sometimes costly teacher.

Good advice! I think that is what happened with my 2006 Porsche. I got a miss-fire code. I diluted the fuel, cleared the code and gave it an Italian tune up. Luckily that solved the problem.
I was a dealership technician for over 20 years and we used BGs products with great success. We would run it directly through the fuel rail while disabling the vehicle fuel pump and it worked great on high mileage vehicles with injector issues.

Here’s my experience: snap on fluid ran through the fuel rail-using motor vac machine is superior compared to BG. I didn’t notice any difference when the shop id been going to switched to bg product without me knowing. Still charged the same though. So I went back and complained about not noticing any improvement. My case was more extreme then simply high mileage though. 2 leaking injectors on s10. With the snap on fluid truck ran much better for about 600 miles. Finally had it fixed when buddy got back to town.

Thanks for evaluating the BG44K! I've been using it every 10,000 miles in my vehicles and since 1994. When I had purchased my 1994 Mazda Protege I was introduced to it by Pat Goss (from the Car Show), when he conducted a seminar at my Mazda dealership, with a cross section cut of a 1.8L engine, and taught me also how to do a proper intake manifold cleaning. I immediately saw a 10% increase in power from a dead stop, and 2.5mpg fuel increase (after following BG's procedures). You're right, BG chemicals are the bomb! Just don't forget to wear gloves, and have a CLEAN shop rag handy in case you spill any on the paint, because it can eat right through your clearcoat in less than 30 seconds. This was developed specifically for race car and high end vehicles originally that rev at very high rpms, so you can be confident it will work on any gasoline engine (can't speak to 2 strokers). No, I don't have any connection to BG, but I know what works. Btw, I average driving my vehicles 250,000 miles, and with very little loss of performance or mileage, and with combustion chambers that look like they just rolled off of the assembly line. Nuff said!

Marvel mystery oil has some cleaning qualities that manifest when it is combusted in the cylinder however, it's main purpose is to provide top cylinder lubrication and lubrication within the moving parts of the fuel system... fuel pump, injectors, etc. I would use BG 44K to clean / strip out the fuel system, then follow up with MMO to lubricate everything. MMO also conditions the rubber parts and seals keeping them from drying out from harsh additives like ethanol in the gas and strong solvent like cleaners such as BG 44K, seafoam etc...AWESOME VIDEO! 👍👍

@Peter Angles What opinions? I stated facts not opinions. Not all fuels in all areas are clean all of the time. All it takes is one bad batch of gas and that will leave contaminates in the fuel system. Using products like Marvel mystery oil and BG 44K ensures that the fuel system will operate at peak efficiency throughout its service life. Just because a "modern" fuel system can withstand harsh fuels and is reliable to a high mileage doesn't mean keeping it clean is unecessary or unimportant. These products provide extra insurance for reliability and longevity. Like the old saying goes " If you take care of your car, it will take care of you."

I am an additive nut. Take my money, just the way I am. I have tried all of these except the Enzymes. In my humble experience, BG44K, Royal Purple Max Clean / Max Atomizer, and Redline SL-1 are topshelf products with monstrous levels of PEA. Older and traditional products like Seafoam and MMO are also excellent. With all of them, I have found that time and frequency is your friend. The more often/longer you run these at the recommended dosages, the better. While some may choke at the price to do this, it is what it is.

BG 44k is a very good product. My mechanic suggests using a can of it in the gas every time he changes the oil, which adds about $20 to the bill. It's expensive, but worth it in my opinion. In 2016, the same mechanic replaced the fuel pump in my 2002 Chevy truck. At that time, he suggested using some Marvel Mystery Oil in the gas. He said that the MMO would lubricate the new fuel pump, and it should last longer. Ever since 2016, I have been using MMO in the gas of my truck, car, and lawn mower every time I fill up with great results. I use the recommended 4 ounces of MMO for every 10 gallons of gas. Both vehicles are running better than ever, and my car now gets at least an extra 1.5 to 2 more miles per gallon on the highway. With Walmart now selling the quart (32oz) size of MMO for $3.98, (it had been $3.88 at Walmart for many years) I am actually saving money using MMO, as I am using less gas.

@Peter Angles I use MMO in the gas and in the crankcase as an added lubricant and it keeps the sludge from forming. The point of putting it in gas tank isn't for more BTU or power/energy, it's there to supplement in lubricating the injectors and the upper rings/cylinder. Every 25k miles, I use the BK products to clean injectors and the oil control rings. The BG is the best. I've run it in my lawn equipment and after a season of use, I pulled the pistons and they look new, not all crusted up with carbon and sludge. I believe in BG ;-)

Best I have seen is berrymans b12 chem tool . But even better is Tulene it's a fule booster also a solvent used to thin paint for road and parking lot stripes so the paint sprays as it's thick like paste . Cleans really well but burns hot and produces benzene in the exhaust. Smells like bandaids or gauze on the exhaust. I run in motorcycles for octane booster.
I like all the BG products. Especially the 44k
The starbright at Walmart for $5.94 seemed to do a pretty good job compared to the 27.80 for the 44k. I would have liked to see what seafoam did
Marvel mystery oil would work great in a rotary Mazda Rx motor because it's basically a two cycle engine and need a little help. BG has worked well on everything from lawnmowers, snowblowers and many other engines. The true comparison is when you do a before and after inspection of the cylinder with a small camera down the plug holes. Another note is not all of these products combust the same and some leave behind more than they help.

The BG 44K was definitely shown to clean up a dirty sparkplug in a dish of gasoline. But it may not mean much about how the product works inside a running engine. Throw in heat and pressure and consider long term effects on fuel injectors and O2 sensors. Does BG 44K do anything negative to the engine or catalytic converter? Who knows but it does clean a dirty sparkplug.

I sure could use some advice from some people about a bad mileage problem that i have with my 22, bought new, toyota camry ×se. I am a retired old disabled army vet. My wife and i purchased a new camry in 2022 it now has 5840 miles on it and the problem is that we most alway ues it for short commutes. The display is showing 22.6 mpg.and i believe it. I am thinking about using a motor and upper end treatment but i don't want to void what is left of my warranty. I sure would appreciate some suggestions.
I can honestly tell you that none of these products do the job nearly as well as Amsoil's P.I. 'Performance Enhancer'. I had a 2004 Monte Carlo that I religiously added P.I. to the fuel tank twice per year. This was in 2010 and it had just under 100,000 miles on the odometer. My wife took that vehicle in for some service, I believe it was something about a belt and fuel filter. They attempted to scare her into paying for a fuel injection system cleaning. She called me, and I drove to that dealership and instructed the tech to push a scope into the intake to observe it's current condition. He took a close look and removed his scope and told the service manager that he had never seen a system so clean with that many miles on it before. I told them to give her the car and she headed home. I then told the service manager to take a hike.

BG and MMO are the best from my experience. I actually lean more towards MMO because of the long term effect. It’s proven to be better for continued addition at busting up carbon build up for me. I finally rebuilt my Harley motor last year as it needed a revamp like they all do around that mile mark. I’ve ran marvel in the fuel once a month and in every oil change since I got it. When I say the inside motor looked like it had 5k miles on it.. I’m serious. Mind you, the motor had 63k on it at the time of the rebuild. I was VERY impressed.

I would like to have seen Techron by Chevron in the black bottle included. In my 45 years as a Master tech I have seen incredible results. Techron is the only cleaner that is recommended by some manufactures. At one dealership we did use the BG products and they worked very well.

Thanks 👍 Clearly, the non kinetic cleaning properties excel with the BG44K. I think I’d like that for the best passive cleaning at least. The combustion properties will likely improve I’m guessing with that chemistry.

I used BG44k 2 years ago. Just bought a 2015 Mazda5, 145,000 miles. ($1500) I did not have a check engine light on. Couple of months later I got Check Engine light. Used another bottle. After another month or so Light went off and its been a year. I'm glad I didn't have to have the ports cleaned out by hand.

The MMO is just about the same as the BG44 after you run your car it works well with heat no need to waste all that money on it plus it has many uses besides cleaning injectors and spark plugs such as clearing out sludge and unseizing engines. I always swear by MMO as my go to for everything.

I'm known among my friends as being very cheap so when I was told to try BG44K about 35 years ago to clear up a hard "miss" that was an injector related issue on my 1987 Plymouth Sundance, 2.2 turbo I thought there is NO way I'm going to pay $20 for someones slick marketing. I tried the $3 per bottle, STP injector cleaner, nothing. I was almost ready to take it to the dealership and pay about $400 to have the injector replaced. I went and spent the $20 and by the end of the next tank of gas the miss was GONE! I now use BG44K about every 2 years (I'm still cheap) in all my vehicles and have NEVER had a fuel related problem since!

Where I used to work Berryman and mmo were always on hand. Personally I use a cocktail of mmo and top it off with a little sea foam mostly sea foam for fuel stabilizer.
I noticed a blob in the bottom of each dish except for the 44k, the gas you used must have been an ethanol blend. To me, that illustrates the same condition in your tank. The ethanol separates from the gas and can create problems. Was the separation because of the additives, or naturally occurring because of moisture in the fuel and/ or air?

I've used Startron for years and it's never let me down. It's even kept fuel good I had forgotten about in a smaller gas can for two years. Still even smelled fairly fresh. Startron also has a new "Carbon Eliminator" spray you spray into your intake or carb at idle. My boat was hesitating and almost dying if I punched it outta the hole. Couple rounds of the Carbon Eliminator and the hesitation is almost gone out of my mechanically original 1976 Apollo boat with the good ol carbureted Mercruiser 165 4.1L straight six. I've also noticed the fuel guage doesn't drop quite as fast. So, in short it does exactly what it says it does!! Startron is simply the best in my opinion. You also can't OD on it like you can other fuel stabilizers, like StaBil. Use too much of that stuff and it'll literally eat your fuel jets. I'm also a bit leary of something that's too good like the BG. What is it doing to rubber/plastic fuel LINES, the fill neck and jets or injectors? Ya....I'll stick with Startron. Great video though!!

Thanks, Great suggestion. I'll look into it this coming summer.
In the UK the Lucas company brand unipart , sold its injector cleaner , it was 99.5% white spirit , same as decorators use to thin down oil based paint and clean brushes . By far the cheapest solution!
How about getting the same results with an additive, without the need to screw out the injectors? We tried it as well.
Could you possibly do a test for me? I know for MMO or any other additives, your “suppost” to add a certain amount per ___ gallons of fuel. But i did read too on some bottles “over adding will not hurt the engine” so in my old 2500HD gas truck i used to add s full bottle of MMO every other full tank fillup. It could just be me playing tricks on me but i did see a good amount of improvement to my mpg and how the engine ran. Could you possibly do a test like that? Like a “overkill” test to see if there was more mmo mixed in gas if it actually does clean it or if it makes it worse? That would be a really cool video to watch in my opinion! If “the more the better” does actually work with additives.

Whip's right. With MMO, more isn't better. Too much of a good thing is a bad thing. On older vehicles, increasing the dosage might not do anything, but newer vehicles will cause alot of EXPENSIVE repairs. Always follow the instructions if you have a newer vehicle...
I think the Marvel works slow and steady and better under heat. The bg works within 10 minutes then you drain your oil.

@@EmoKidsRule100 You do know why your oil turns black right? Every vehicle has a little "blow by". This is also why when you run your car even for 100 miles after a oil change, they recommend changing the oil in 5k miles OR 1 year, which every comes first, because the burnt fuel creates acids that start breaking down the viscosity of the oil even if it has less than 5k miles. Depending on the type of oil and additives, usually a year after burnt fuel is introduced into oil, it needs to be replaced. This is why people also seasonally change their lawn mower, ATV, tractor, etc, oil. So what he was insinuating with his comment was that a portion of that nasty stuff being burnt off during the BG44K cleaning will end up in your oil, so best to do it right before an oil change so you don't drive around for another 4k miles with a bunch a nasty stuff that is going to likely break down your oil at a higher rate.
Would you recommend using the 44k in a 28 year old 2 stroke boat motor?

I get what the point of your video is. My suggestion is to try to create experiments that more closely resemble the applicable use. For instance. you should find some dirty used fuel injectors from the junkyard and test their initial output of fuel, then mix the additive with the correct ratio of fuel per the instructions. Next, run the mix through the injectors until the mix is used up then test the flow after. The cleaner injector wins.
