How do I Use Fuel Cleaner on Carburetors?

Cleaning your vehicle's carburetors with fuel cleaner additives is a simple, low-cost procedure that keeps your car in top-notch shape. Adding a fuel cleaner into your gas tank every 3,000 miles maintains top engine performance. Most brand name, entry-level fuel cleaners will keep your carburetors clean, however, you may want to buy fuel additives that specifically target your engine's carburetors.

  • Buy a fuel cleaner, such as those sold at auto stores. One 12-ounce bottle will normally last you 3,000 miles and mix with 20 gallons of gasoline.

  • Unscrew the gas cap on your vehicle.

  • Take off the cap from your fuel cleaner's plastic bottle.

  • Pour the full contents of the bottle directly into your gas tank.

  • Fill up your car with a full tank of gasoline after pouring in the carburetor cleaner.
