Good evening.

1. there is no additive that will clean an injector. using the correct octane fuel recommended by the manufacturer is the best way to keep them clean.

2. it is safe to service the fuel injectors with a hybrid engine.

3. the only way to clean injectors is to disable the fuel system and use a kit to hook up to the fuel line. an aerosol can of cleaner is injected directly into the fuel rail and injectors and the car will run on this. that will clean the injectors and the pindles of carbon.
