What type of machine cleans injectors?

What does it? Does anyone do it?

There are systems that attach to the fuel rail and run a substitute fuel, with lots of detergent, for 20 minutes. Or you can buy a good quality bottle of detergent and drive around for a tank. Or try two bottles.

After the "machine" change your oil. Lots of the "detergent" will end up in the oil and you don't want to carry that around until the next oil change.

by bottle you mean "complete fuel system cleaner"?

also if I use complete fuel system cleaner do you still think I should change the oil? or is that only with the machine?

They are the originators of injector cleaning balancing.

The process involes partly taking the injector apart and back flowing it with various fluids.


However fuel injectors typicaly DO NOT get clogged, injector cleaners for the most part are a gimick. I have built my own injector flow machine just for the hell of it and even injectors that I had sitting around for years that looked like they were ready for the junk heap flow identical to new ones of the same size.

Majority of the injector variance that you get if you send to RC to have matched is from oem acceptable flow difference. That is why most injectors dont have an exact flow number, usualy its say 420cc-440cc's.

Hope this helps
