Symptoms of clogged injectors
-
- hard starting
- rough idle
- throttle “tip-in” hesitation
- pre-ignition (sometimes heard as that ‘pinging sound’)
- poor overall performance
- decreased gas mileage
How to know if your injectors need cleaning?
The business end of fuel injectors can’t be seen while the engine is running. Since it can take well over an hour to access and evaluate fuel injectors, injector maintenance is done by time and mileage intervals rather than from direct inspection. We recommend cleaning fuel injectors at least every 24 months or 60,000 Km
Benefits of Fuel Injection Cleaning
The fuel injection system is used for mixing air and fuel in an engine. Having a clean fuel injector is vital for optimal engine performance and fuel economy. Usually, injectors get blocked with fuel deposits and this eventually reduces fuel flow in the injector. By practicing regular fuel injection cleaning, the following advantages will be achieved.

Improve Engine Performance
Regular use of low quality gas and not adhering to a good car maintenance schedule can considerably enhance the buildup of harmful carbon deposits. Through fuel injection cleaning the engine performance is not only improved, but it also enhances fuel efficiency.
Do you know why an INTAKE SYSTEM CLEAN is Important?
Intake valves regulate the delivery of fuel and air into the combustion chamber. When carbon deposits build up on the base of valves, they act like sponges, soaking up fuel. This means that less fuel than expected enters the combustion chamber, disrupting the fuel/air mix and hurting performance.
Fuel system cleaning services provide excellent benefits to your vehicle. From maximizing fuel economy to reduced vehicle emissions, a clean fuel system restores performance and improves drivability.
To help reduce emissions, most modern gasoline contains ethanol, a solvent that’s naturally attracted to water. When water enters the fuel system from humidity or condensation, ethanol absorbs it. Then, once it reaches its saturation point, the ethanol separates from gasoline and settles at the bottom of the gas tank.
From there, ethanol and water begin to attack the metal surfaces of the fuel system. Oxygen dissolved in ethanol weakens the outer layer of metal parts, while water causes them to rust and corrode.
