> $70 and went home to put a new fuel hose on. $4 later(and an easy fix), I

> flush the system out. I would highly recommend this carbon cleaning system to
> everyone woth over 100,000 miles on their Daks, or who thinks performance
> isnt what I should be. My Dak drives and runs great now! This treatment
> continues to work for 500 more miles, further cleaning the system out.
