I just added a gallon of Xylene to my tank and filled it to 15-gallons. At the end of the week, when my car reads empty again, is my fuel system going to be clean? i have an LS1 camaro with 35,000 miles, always used good brand 93 octane gas and ust a cleaner every oil change. whatcha think?
 
You should be fine. Xylene is a very good solvent and is already present, <1%, in the gas so it shouldn't hurt anything. I've used similar quantities in my system without any problems. Just don't use it excessively because it tends to form soot on combustion. Don't use it when getting an emissions test either because your hydrocarbon levels will register high. If I had to recommend a solvent that was safe and effective for cleaning the fuel system, and I have, in another thread, I would recommend xylene and toluene, they are very similar.
