Can we add injector cleaner in the petrol tank for cleaning of the injectors. Is there maximum quantity of injector cleaner to be used. I mixed 100ml of injector cleaner in 20litres petrol. Is it fine? Can excessive use of injector cleaner affect the fuel injection system. What shoud be the frequency of using the injector cleaner?

Yes, you can use injector cleaner with your vehicle. However, the amount used is based on the brand you use. On the product bottle, it should tell you the ratio of cleaner to fuel recommended. Based on what you used, it should be fine, but check that out the next time you use it.

As far as cleaner, it won't hurt anything. However, it shouldn't be needed all the time. Maybe every 20K miles.
