By storing of particles and other elements which come from using lower octane or cheap gasoline, over time fuel Injectors may become blocked. If there are not enough detergents in the gasoline the particles and dirt can get stored inside the injectors and start to build up blockage. Moreover, the injectors become blocked and once all the injectors are blocked, it is certain that you are going to get poor performance.

Clogged and Dirty Fuel Injectors

These type (clogged or dirty) of fuel injectors affect a vehicle’s system in different ways, such as- power losing, fuel consumption increasing, fuel efficiency decreasing and other components is damaged in the electronic fuel injection system. These problems of the fuel injector system may cause strong smell of gasoline or diesel fuel. If the Oxygen and fuel are not mixed properly, the system may create other types of problems. However, cleaning injectors can easily help you out the problem and each method is different and you have to learn it for cleaning the fuel injector by yourself.

Fuel tank cleaners

The cleaners can be connected to the fuel tank each time a person fills up the vehicle. This system is so simple and cheap, but is not fully operative in cleaning the injectors. In this process, the injectors normally use more pressures to force its fuel to come out through a nozzle. There will not have adequate time to remove the clog and clean the injector thoroughly. It only cleans only the head side of the injector, not fully. In this cleaning system, the chemicals may also cause damaging of O-rings, oxygen sensors and other parts of the electronic fuel injection system.

The other system where Techron cleaner is used may be offered at car mechanics, dealerships and quick change oil shops where the cleaner is forced into the fuel rail during the time of running the engine. As the chemicals are stronger, so this method is not fully effective and can actually cause more damage than the fuel additives. Many vehicle manufacturers advise against using the methods or may avoid warranties.

Fuel Injectors Wear Out

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

Professional ultrasonic cleaning of fuel injectors and flow testing services are provided by many auto services centers. Fuel injectors can be shipped in for servicing or dropped off locally. These are inspected and tested for spay patterns, coil resistance, leaks and cracks. Filter baskets, matching pintle caps and O-rings are installed as new parts as needed. But, make sure that it is safe for the environment that provides thorough and the safest method for cleaning fuel injectors.
