Fuel Injector cleaner
Is it necessary and should I use fuel injector cleaner once in a while? if so which is the best for our cars. i have a 2003 Sedan with 124,000 miles (my car runs excellent still)

That stuff can be dangerous, it can dissolve seals and such. If you do use it try to do so when you know you'll use that tank of gas quickly, like at the start of a road trip. I hear it's not good to have it sitting in the lines for long. Personally I don't use it anymore, just floor it once in a while getting on the highway and down shift to let the pressure of the rev down clear the carbon build up.
Fuel Injector Cleaner........!
I've been using Red Line Injector cleaner for a few years and have "Never"
had any issues like Castro mentioned. The only issue I have is that it's hard
to find, not every autoparts store carries it. I used it in my '92 300ZXTT
for 125K miles and always use it in my wifes Vet without any issues. After
all you're mixing it with gas not using it straight or are you? HAHA

thats the best way to do it. most of the cleaners are too weak to do anything while its running.

Modern returnless fuel systems now have teflon inner liner and flurohydrocarbon connectors to help protect against ethanol in fuel.
BG44k contains ~~4x the detergent % of Techron so it is more cost effective in long run.
