Unhappy Fuel Injection Cleaner

I had a question as far as Fuel Injection Cleaner, is it bad to clean it every time I fill up gas? Like I was wondering if I use it the first few fillups will it make it cleaner? Any suggestions or thoughts will be much apprecitive.

Once every 3000 miles or more is plenty. Yes its bad to add cleaner everytime you fill up because the chemicals will burn the diaphragm of your fuel pump and eat your fuel filter. It's not gonna make your engine cleaner, it will just destroy it.
