I love the mopar decarb its good stuff .

I bought oil filter adaptor O ring kit and a can of decarb was 12 bucks out the door.

We called it C and C. Carburetor and Combustion area cleaner.

44K goes through the injectors though......

Seafood will go bad if you leave it over the catalytic converter.

I get good gas mileage from seafood to. I think it's a combo of all the butter and garlic.

I've found a quick shot with the garden hose solves the stink problem and gently suggests they move on.

A+++ Salad is old school. This is a time proven method that works and it does not cost anything. In fact there probably is not a better alternative for de-carbonizing an engine.
