Let's hope that the filter caught most of the crud from the mud
water. I don't know if you want to send something into the intake
manifold. If you got crud in there, it'll just send it to the injectors
and maybe plug them up. Probably it would be best to remove
the intake manifold and clean it out but that's a huge job. I'd
take the chance that the filter did a good job and caught all
the sediments.
You might want to something into the gas tank to clean up
the fuel system. Kleen Flo has a pretty good product that attacks
inhibiting deposits, gums and varnishes from injectors called
TKO 2000. They also have a dedicated, combustion cleaning
product as well but don't know the name. A bit expensive and
maybe a bit hard to find at auto supply stores. I'd try Walmart first
... they seem to carry everything :-)
