Polyetheramine (PEA) based cleaner (where to get in 416/905)

[brucewayne]

where can i get a cleaner with PEA?

i just went to 4 petro canada's and couldn't find any tactrol.
internet rumor says gumout regane is questionable although it used to have.
i know precision tuning has redline SI-1 but thats all the way in concord.

im tempted to just order a bunch of techron online and split it.

i think this should be under the Technical Section... under Engine & Drivetrain

mod please move

thanks

Good timing, I was reading up on getting PEA based fuel injector cleaner mostly from Bob is the Oil Guy forums. There's a recommended list:
Chevron Techron Concentrate Cleaner - Unknown in Canada, but some say some dealers carry them
Redline SI-1 and Amsoil PI both are available from Precision Tuning Motorsports
Gumout Regane Total --> I picked up Gumout REGANE Complete Fuel Injector Cleaner from Canadian Tire or Walmart. Link here. (http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/4/Auto/3/AutoFluidsChemicals/FuelTreatments/PRD~0380162P/Gumout+REGANE+Complete+Fuel+Injector+Cleaner.jsp?l ocale=en)

I haven't used a fuel injector cleaner on my car yet (94k), but I figure it's time to give it a shot and see how it goes over the next couple of week.

The Redline SI-1 is also available from JRP in south Mississauga.

Techron and Gumout Regane high mileage are the cheapest bang for the buck
failing that, the redline si-1 or BG 44k is good stuff

you can buy a case of techron from an american costco
or hit up a parts store in the states for larger bottles.... they have sales from time to time

i put in a bottle of the gumout regane high mileage last week that i bought from walmart. im not too sure its done anything yet so im really unsure as to if it has pea in it or not. on the packaging however, its said that it was safe for o2 sensors and cat convertors... which is the major concern of using those other type of cleaners, so perhaps it does still have the pea in it.

I went to Canadian Tire and to my surprise, the back label of the "Motormaster Formula 1 Extra Strength Fuel Injector Cleaner" bottle has PEA written on it. How much % that I dunno. :/

do a search on BITOG... I'm sure there have been discussions about the motomaster cleaner... if not, try to track down a MSDS document
