Diesel injectors

There is a massive range of injector cleaners on the market, is there any particular good one to go for, or does there seem to be a highly recommended one?

They also seem to vary greatly with price, is it down to the old saying of quality isn't cheap?

I've used comma diesel magic and redex diesel treatments, at different times in the past with varying results, but think i need to clean up the fuel system again.

Forte are regarded as the best IIRC.

Can't say it made a noticable difference to my car though, you could also try Millers Diesel injector cleaner.

Another thumbs up for Millers. If I'm not using Premium Diesel, I always use a shot of Millers.

They all contain Kerosene so pretty much all do the same job IMO.

Not on a diesel. Youn ain't getting any phat bhp gains like some packs claim, but they serve a purpose. My old mondeo had a distinct stutter at about 2500rpm, especially in higher gears. A tank with millers in it and it was good as gold
