What happens if you put too much fuel injector cleaner? You can overdo it when it comes to fuel injector cleaner and give your car too much of a good thing.

Diesel engines work by squirting high-pressure diesel into the engine's cylinders, where it mixes with air and is ignited by a spark plug. These engines need to have plenty of fuel in order to keep running. Running out of diesel will ruin your injectors, so you'd better get some more before that happens!
Water causes damage to both fuel tanks and engine parts. Rust and corrosion in the tank create hard particulate that is passed along in the fuel, causing engine wear.
Additives are designed to work with specific quantities of fuel. For example, 16 ounces of additive may treat 30 gallons of diesel fuel. Over-treating a fuel system with too much additive can damage expensive fuel injectors and the injection pump. Get more for your money.
In some cases, the injector cleaner contains corrosive agents. These chemicals will eventually damage the fuel pump or tank lining. When this happens, you will notice leaks or reduced performance from your car.
