Fuel system cleaner?

Well I am pretty sure my injectors could use a good cleaning(and my gas tank) and am thinking of using a cleaner you just put in the gas tank, what do you guys think? Any suggestions? I do know its best to have the injectors taken out and cleaned professionally which I plan to do in prolly a month or so but for now what do you think? Thanks.

Redline - if you can't find this stuff, I've heard good results from Chevron Techtron in the concentrate bottles.

Alright so no problems with fuel system cleaners in rotaries though, right? I definitely want some redline stuff but am not too sure where to get it. Maybe I'll see if they have a site, then I could order the tranny fluid at the same time.

Techron worked well for me. Get the Techron and not the cheaper Progard. They look almost identical. I didn't like the Redline SI-1 too much. But my injectors were pretty clean when putting in Redline so I didn't notice any further improvement in gas mileage.

They carry Redline fuel injection cleaner at my local Pep Boys. It's fairly common to find the stuff here.
