concentrated fuel additives

I have a question about fuel additives. I know the instructions for most additives say to dilute the stuff in x number of gallons of gas. Wouldn't the injector cleaning power be greater if it was super concentrated, and not diluted in gallons of gas?

I'll compare it to laundry detergent. If you get a stain on your shirt, you can pre treat the area with concentrated laundry detergent. That will get your clothes clean. Now, if you just put that cup of detergent into the water and dilute it, it won't have even a quarter of the direct stain fighting power as pre treating the stain with pure detergent.

Am I making any sense? So I was wondering (since I bought a can of seafoam) the seafoam directions say to add 1/3 here and there throughout the vehicle. But again, wouldnt the seafoam be more effective if I added the full can to the tank/crankcase/brake booster?

Maybe someone can clear this up for me.

Honestly, If you want a more "concentrated" effect, I would just get 2 cans, Do the treatment ala bottle directions, then wait a few days and repeat...

yeah. I wasnt specifically asking what fuel cleaners are good. I was just asking about concentrated versus diluted. I like BG44k and the techron cleaners. Never used seafoam as a cleaner.
