Hey guys is it possible to put to much kleen-flo injector cleaner anti gelling, or meth in the fuel that would cause it to have troubles starting? Thanks in advance.:):)

Do you think your truck would run on 100% injector cleaner?
If not than I guess YES, it would be possible to OD on it.
I've ran at least triple the amount of anti-gel and combustion catalyst in my truck, suppose to use 12 ounces, I just held the bottle upside down into the tank for like 5 seconds. About a 1.5" hole in the bottle, so go figure how much I added (a lot) and no problems.:D

Some INj Cleaner says to fill filter bowl with it, also says easier starting.

Question is, what problem were you chasing that caused you to put such a high dose of cleaner in there?

No problem really, it was when I first got the truck, wanted to make sure everything was clean (also consisting of a number of full throttle pulls up to an undisclosed speed).:rolleyes:

I usually run one of the PS bottles that says "treats 100 gallons" on the label, but thats usually only on true fillups, not just adding $20 here and there to get around for the day.

Meaning you quad the does on fillups, but your 20 here 20 there adds you don't add more in...

More the merrier up to a point. Same with oil / 2-stroke. a quart or 1/2 quart of any additive gets diluted pretty good in 25 or 30 gallons of fuel.
