Cleaner for fuel injectors

Hello, could somebody please recommend a good fuel injector cleaning agent? MINI just replaced my fuel pump (covered under part-specific 100K warranty ) as it began failing this week @ 51K miles. The dealer wanted too much to clean my injectors. I just would like to get rid of any crud. Thanks in advance!

Cheveron techron, the same stuff Mini sells under their name and for a much higher price.You can get it at any Walmart or auto parts store for around $6. Put a bottle in every 3rd or 4th fillup and you won't have fuel injector problems.

I will tell you what I did, I paid $64 and had my injectors professionally cleaned, flow tested and new o-rings, pintles etc.

He provides before and after flow test sheets and I will say my car ran like a top after install. The injectors are essentially like new again.

Bg44k, Cheveron Techron are both great. I'd also recommend doing a seafoam treatment. Super easy to do.
