The point bring made above is that as you dissolve the crap it is going into your engine. And as pointed out a lot of people are double filtering their fuel, putting catch cans on the oil recirculation line and of course we all filter the air intake. So there is a contrast there between lots of care about what goes into our engines and this approach of spraying some sort of solvent into the guts of it with chunks of carbon added, assuming it dissolves the deposits.
I'm no expert, and it may simply get burned and spat out the exhaust, but it is not a concept that appeals to me. You may take a different view but since you're asking for opinions I've added mine.

in my opinion spraying caustic shit though a dry manifold is not efficient and risky...
Liquid Molly deisel purge plus....is a fuel system cleaner and your ute is direct injection....if the diesel went though the manifolds we wouldn't have carbon buildup..
I use it occasionally as it keeps your fuel system clean...

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion OP. You can express them all day long if you like. My point is that if you pose a question having made it pretty clear you don't know much about the subject it's pretty poor form to start questioning people's qualifications and ridiculing them by reference to the manufacturer being smarter.
But hey that's just my opinion, what would I know? The old saying that you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar comes to mind though.
AOF I'm sure I've read of someone who did use a gerni at some point. I think I'd be too worried that if it did work it would spray black crap everywhere.

Jumping to conclusions again, why is it clear i know nothing about the subject, for your information i know a lot about the subject, i dont see the person that was so called ridiculed moaning on here just YOU, seems to me you like the sound of your own voice. You get them in every club a mini hitler, you are now trying to ridicule me by assuming i know nothing on the subject, im guessing you will be reporting me to adnin next or do they already know you.

x2 ....
So that now makes 2 votes for the OP to "try it out" and then, get back to the rest of us old fashioned "manifold removers" and let us know how he gets on ...
I'm still waiting to hear from anybody who has tried using an "industrial" strength Gerni / Water Blaster to de-carbon their manifolds, once removed....? I'm certainly willing to give it a crack myself but I dont -currently- plan on removing my manifolds for awhile longer yet, fingers crossed ....
