Hello. I am new here and i was wondering if anyone used the 3m diy fuel system cleaner? It was on sale at Oreilys here in amarillo at 13.83. The normal price is around 40 or 50 dollars. Did i get a good deal?

I believe you need to buy a special adapter tool. Ive never found it.
csx i used that on my truck about 10k mi. ago except i paid full price. You did good pricewise. I think it did a good job of cleaning and I think its alot safer on a newer car than seafoam IMHO.
Did you get this for $14 ? If so, you got a screaming deal.
I would have bought their entire stock.

Heck, take my credit card and buy them all; don't wait until payday 
It is NOT showing up on ORielly's website and we don't have that chain around here.
Currently it is being sold for close to $70 on the 3M website. It has never been under $35 even on sale for last few years.

its proably being discontinued due to the high price. the 3M Complete Fuel System Cleaner has PEA in it.
Whaaaa? I wanna get some of those kits, but can't find them.
Personally, when I use Amsoil's Power Foam, I just be sure to spray the throttle plate like crazy while treating the top-end. That way, while the engine is sitting after the can empties, I can wipe off what it helped clean at the throttle plate. That and a fuel cleaner is about the same price as the 3M DIY kit altogether, what the OP paid anyway otherwise you are paying a lot for what is included. Isn't the same thing bieng accomplished?
Unless, of course, the 3M kit is supposed to be a professional level product(not typically used by walk in consumers).

If 3M makes a product, you can be assured that it would be either the best or close to the best product in that category. I have yet to find a mediocre 3M product of *any type*.
This particular product is aimed at DIY guys but supposedly has the potency of their similar professional product.
Using PowerFoam or similar sprays and spraying them while the engine is running and air intake snorkel is off only works for vehicles which do NOT use MAF sensors. This kit allows you put the snorkel back while it sprays the intake as engine runs. The can also has the lock button to keep it spraying. I am sure the idea is nothing new but it is the implementation which can make or break a product and this one delivers.
Having said all that, I do have this kit but I paid lot more for it and I am saving it for "a rainy day". If I can only convince the OP to buy the entire stock and ship it to me, I will be thrilled!

haha, I see. My friend with the modded Titan truck had someone from his home state sell him something from Mighty Auto Parts, a kit just like this or very similar. One was designed to hook up to the break booster line with the engine running, another for the gas tank I believe as well, etc.
I believe 3M makes quality products, no doubt, though. It's just to see the market saturated with half measures or lame duck snake oils, well you know.
