Care to qualify this statement John!
Injector cleaners are safe on rotarys fact!
Assuming you run on optimax or V power as it is now one of the big selling points is the detergents to clean the injectors...............in other words injector cleaner.

Safe just not sure if it does alot. Most Modern Fuels have Cleaning agents in them anyway.

If you are rebuilding or think you have a Dodgy Injector get them Cleaned Properly and Flow tested.

I dont think there is anything wrong with my injectors at all, car runs fine, its just I bought this dual bottle package thing from halfrauds, injector cleaner and octane booster. Just wondering if they are ok to use really.

I only actually wanted the octane booster to keep in the car just in case I get stuck somewhere low on fuel and have to put 95 ron fuel in my rexy.

Don\'t worry use it if need be. To be honest i run a bottle in mine from time to time as a bit of preventative maintanance.
Grizzly if you\'ve access to a exhaust gas analiser you may be intrested to do a before and after exercise with the cleaner. It suprised me when i took readings before and after using some.
