does anyone use a fuel addative like STP to help clean out things or what ever they do?

If you do, does it help?

I use a bottle of SeaFoam(poured into the gas tank) every 6000miles or so.Works great.

sea foam is a great product, you can use it different ways

one dumping it into the fuel tank and just letting it do its thing

two sucking it into the intake and then letting it sit for a few minutes to clean the intake out, yes it will smoke then

third dumping some into the crankcase and having it there a short time, then changing the oil

I just pour the whole bottle into a full tank of gas,make sure you have very close to a full tank and do not use any additives more then about twice a year or you could risk damaging your Cats.

I use the Amsoil P.I. performance improver every few months and notice MPG gains during and for a while after using (similar to the gains I see after changing plugs). It is a good way to clean up the injectors and such prior to a smog test too.
