Professional Ultrasonic Fuel Injector Cleaning  and Flow Testing Services.

Methods for Cleaning Dirty Fuel Injectors.

There are different products and services available for cleaning fuel injectors or service fuel injection systems which become dirty or clogged. Over time fuel injectors can become clogged from the buildup of dirt and other particles found from using low octane and cheap gasoline. When there are not enough detergents in the gasoline the particles and dirt can get caught on the injectors and begin to build up. Eventually the injectors become clogged and once all the injectors are clogged and stop working, the engine will no longer run.

Clogged or dirty fuel injectors affect a vehicles performance in several ways, including loss of power, increased fuel consumption, decreased fuel efficiency and damage to other components in the electronic fuel injection system. The strong smell of gasoline or diesel fuel may be an indicator of a problem with the fuel injection system. When the system is not properly mixing oxygen and fuel it can lead to other problems. Cleaning fuel injectors may help with some problems but there are differences to each method which may lead to other problems for various reasons.

There are cleaners which can be added to the fuel tank each time a person fills up the vehicle. This method of cleaning fuel injectors is simple to do and does not cost that much, but are not fully effective in cleaning the injectors. The fuel injectors use high pressure to force the fuel through a small nozzle quickly. The cleaner will not have enough time to remove buildup and fully clean the injector and only cleans the injector head and not the entire injector. The chemicals in these cleaners may also cause damage to oxygen sensors, O-rings and other parts of the electronic fuel injection system.

Another method which also uses a liquid cleaner may be offered at car dealerships, mechanics and quick change oil shops where the cleaner is forced into the fuel rail while the engine is running. Cleaning fuel injectors using this method is not fully effective and can actually cause more damage than the fuel additive because the chemicals are stronger. Some vehicle manufacturers even advise against using either of the methods and may void warranties still in effect.

Fuel injectors can also start to wear out after a period of time where O-rings, pintle caps, springs and filter baskets can deteriorate or an injector can crack and leak fuel. Using liquid cleaners provides a person without any means to inspect the injectors and check for these problems. The best method for cleaning fuel injectors is to remove them from the vehicle and have them professionally cleaned.
