Of course, but 50 years of schooling and experimenting are in that $5 bottle from the auto parts store. Most have varied combinations of surfactants (detergents) and solvents (like acetone, naphtha, toluene) in a kerosene base that has a long enough residence time on fuel system components to dissolve the "gummy" buildup that can truly plug carb and injector passages. They do this effectively only if used with regularity over a long time (months to a year). CAUTION: the commercial formulations are designed to not toast the emissions components (oxygen sensor, catalytic convertor) on modern cars, so their is no cost savings if you mix wrong proportions. Pre-emissions vehicles have less to worry about, however, the "home brew" might still burn a plug or crack a piston if mixed with too many high volatile solvents.

A cleaner such as Seafoam, Techron, or similar product is just good insurance. Avoid the cheap cleaners that you buy for under $2 as they are for the most part worthless.

Is fuel injection cleaner good for a car?
Modern fuels today contain a fuel injector cleaner so the need to use a commercially available cleaner is less important, unless you are buying cheap fuel. However I do recommend you use a can at least once a year. But the fact is that most cheap fuel injector cleaners you buy today are of little value. Purchase a can of a good FI Cleaner and pour one can in a full tank of fuel at least once a year. Most good cleaners will cost around $6. Seafoam, Techron, Lucas, are 3 great cleaners. I personally use Seafoam, and have had no injector problems at all. It can be purchased at Advance Auto Parts, WalMart, and many other Auto & Marine Parts stores. Follow the directions on the can to the letter.
