Fuel Injection

[smedly]

Anyone know of a good motor service center that has the ability to clean fuel injectors

[eljeque]

I don't, but fuel injector cleaner for your fuel tank is available from the automotive sections of Carefour and Big C, for what its worth.

This is a subject I end up discussing regularly! Now I just direct people to the following quote from Bosch!

Fuel Injectors

The main causes of fuel injector wear or failure is contamination of the fuel system and corrosion due to moisture in the fuel. Injector performance can be affected by particles as little as 10 microns (0.01mm).

Replacement benefits, compared to worn fuel injectors:

• Restore original spray pattern
  
• Improve fuel mixture formation resulting in improved overall vehicle performance
  
• Reduce rough running caused by non uniform spray dynamics
  

What about remanufactured injectors?

Remanufactured injectors as they are commonly known are just second hand injectors that have been cleaned in an ultrasonic bath, fitted with a new strainer and o ring. Before choosing between new or reconditioned injectors consider the following points:

• Ultrasonic cleaning only cleans the nozzle tip and does not clean the inside of the injector
  
• Ultrasonic cleaning does not clean any rust or corrosion within the injector, which if present will lead to premature injector failure or poor spray patterns
  
• Modern style injectors, such as EV6 are of similar price new as ultrasonically cleaned remanufactured units. Why would you buy second hand?
