This is the first test in a series of fuel cleaner test I will be performing to see how fuel cleaners work and if they actually work. In this video I tested Gumout "All in one" fuel system cleaner. I use a mini borescope camera to look into the engine and see how dirty the engine is before the fuel treatment and then after the fuel treatment.
I followed the instructions on the container and Gumout fuel cleaner did a great job cleaning the shiny, sludge buildup, but did not work as well as I would have thought on the clumps of hard carbon buildup. It did not clean the cylinders as much as I thought it would since they do say one bottle will clean the engine.
Here is the fuel cleaner I used: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004AYTRU6/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B004AYTRU6&linkCode=as2&tag=chri0e2-20&linkId=RR7WMPOEKFYJEVRA

They don’t work, I try it on my civic 2003 and I got a catalytic code it sucks, good thing is a cheap car I bought but no way I will used it on my other car Camry 2014 I rather buy plus gas is cleaner.
The good ole days when gas was $2.60
your analysis is very good, thank you for sharing.
What can happen if I decide to use two bottles for first fill up
Back when gas was cheap
So, they dont even claim that its a one time fix. That build up took years, and if the product was used regularly, that deposit wouldnt be there. So it would take a few bottles to widdle that away, so slamming the product right away isnt fair when it clearly cleaned up a good amount.
You should really do an update video with the new Gumout products I’m only saying this because it’s been almost a decade since u made these vids and people wanna know if they changed the additives and maybe do new STP products too 😫just do all gas additives from Walmart plzzzz
Try an injector cleaner first?
What would the Gumeout CEO say????
Will something like this work for a fuel system flush? I was quoted $180 at a dealership.
Hang on, you're testing a fuel system cleaner by seeing how clean the engine is? That doesn't make sense.
Shouldn't you be seeing how clean the fuel system is?
I think you expected too much. Getting rid of that carbon takes a while and maybe if you ran this test over a few thousand miles might give a better result. I use these cleaners mainly to clean my injectors and any carbon it may remove from the piston is a bonus. If it can keep new carbon deposits from forming than all the better.
Maybe we need to use it for longer.. ?
