I have not tried the 3M Fuel cleaner.
Before spending money on fuel additives, always buy a top brand of gasoline (Chevron, Texaco, etc.) at a busy gas station (busy station means frequent turnover of gasoline inventory). Then when you notice poor idle or sluggish acceleration, think of adding a fuel system cleaner. Be aware that the cheaper fuel additives are mainly kerosene type solvents instead of the more expensive, and more effective, fuel system detergents. These cheaper fuel additives just won't do the whole job.
Even premium fuel that includes detergent may not keep your fuel system completely clean. Using a premium fuel system cleaner with a full range of fuel system detergents and deposit dispersants is good insurance against deposits that will diminish both engine power and fuel economy. Chevron “Techron Concentrate” is readily available and gives very good results. Other premium fuel system cleaners known to work are Amsoil "P.I. (Performance Improver) Gasoline Additive" and BG-44K "Power Enhancer". I have been using Redline "Complete Fuel System Cleaner” (http://www.redlineoil.com). I use one 15 oz. bottle of Redline Complete Fuel System Cleaner in a full tank of fuel before each oil change (or 5,000 miles). Don’t refuel until the tank is at ¼ full or less to let the cleaner do its job.
