Fuel
injector cleaning service cleans fuel injectors in order to keep a person’s vehicle running efficiently. Over
time the use of low octane and low quality fuels will cause buildup on the injectors and can cause them to
become clogged. When the engine is turned off there is still fuel on the end of the fuel injectors. The fuel
will evaporate on its own but leaves behind small particles which become solid. This process occurs every time
the engine is turned off slowly causing buildup on the injectors.
The
use of high quality fuels with detergents can help slow the process of buildup on the fuel injectors, but
eventually a person will need to use a fuel injector cleaning service if they keep their vehicle for a long
period of time. Signs that the fuel injectors may need to be cleaned include decreased gas mileage, increased
fuel consumption, rough idling engine and loss of power when accelerating. When these problems are noticed and
not resolved, it can lead to further complications and damage to the fuel injection
system.
A
fuel injection system consists of several components hooked into a mini-computer called an engine control
module. The mini-computer regulates the amount of oxygen and fuel mixed in the engine to provide power, low
emissions and peak fuel efficiency for the vehicle. A fuel injector cleaning service can run diagnostics to
confirm the system is operating correctly. The basic parts of a fuel injector include a fuel filter, valve
spring, plunger, nozzle tip, solenoid and electrical plug which are all wrapped in an injector casing.
The
engine control module controls the amount of pressurized fuel being forced through the injector by turning the
injector on and off. When the injector is turned on the valve spring and plunger open and allow the fuel to flow
through the injector. It is possible for an injector to become stuck closed if dirt or other larger particles
get into the system or to be stuck partially open which allows fuel to leak out. The injector casing can also
become cracked and damaged from extreme temperature changes over a period of time. A fuel injector cleaning
service which offers off the car injector cleaning can check for these problems.
Off
the car injector cleaning from a fuel injector cleaning service is where the fuel injectors are removed from the
vehicle and offers the best type of cleaning available. Quick change oil shops, car dealerships and some
mechanics may offer fuel injector cleaning but this service uses a liquid chemical and is forced through the
system through the fuel rail and does not involve removing the injectors and physically inspecting each one.
Injector RX, www.injectorrx.com,
provides professional fuel injector cleaning service as well as testing of injector flow rates. Injectors are
inspected for cracks and leaks, and then tested to check flow rate, spray pattern and spring coil resistance.
Injector RX then cleans the injectors using a biodegradable cleaner which is safe for the environment. Any
parts pintle caps and O-rings are replaced and the tests repeated. For more information or to schedule
service call 281-738-3635 or visit the website.
