You guys must have left something out. After all, BG, STP, and Lucas wouldn't exist if you hadn't left out something. All the miles I've accumulated over the years without any explosions, even though I've never used any of these additives, must have also been a fluke.
No, you would just have a less than 100% fuel system then..
Having taken injectors, fuel pumps, tanks, rails, regulators.....etc off 300+K engines, I think that is a baseless assertion. They were clean. A high mileage is an engine that gets used a lot. An engine that gets used a lot doesn't develop the same type of fuel system issues as an engine that sits, which will accrue varnish if left sitting long enough.
Taken injectors off, or apart?
