youll either think Im kidding or just wonder at times about how peoples minds work, I get a call yesterday from a neighbors son,
he has a dodge with a fuel injected v6 and he can,t get it started, but after checking a few thing I find, he has fuel pressure and ignition spark and the compressions good, the timings good etc. SO,I start questioning him, I found he had done a tune up, the night before, but after he finished, it ran a bit rough, so he decided to pour in a can of fuel injection cleaner in the fuel tank, and not having any on hand, he sees a full quart of marvel mystery oil on the garage shelf , so reading the instructions, it says cleans fuel injectors, and reading no further than that,he pours that into the fuel tank because it says it can be added to the fuel to help clean injectors, what he over looked was the instructions that said add about 4 ounces to a full fuel tank, our kid here added 32 ounces to a fuel tank with about 2 gallons of fuel in the cars fuel tank at the time, (the fuel gauge was barely above empty) and the result was the car won,t start.
I had him go get 3 five gallon cans of fresh fuel , once the tank was full of fresh fuel it only took some starter fluid to get the cars engine started, once the fuel rails , were being flushed by fresh fuel and the fuel lines were allowed to bye-pass fuel back to the tank,as most efi systems do,it worked, and as a result,the fuel rails were not filled with about 10% oil the car ran ok.
the stuff works fine if you read and follow instructions
