How to Clean Fuel Injectors

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Fuel injectors

In this video, we learn something very useful: how to clean our fuel injectors. You will need a solvent, such as white spirit, an air compressor or a can of compressed air, a fuel hose, electrical wires, a 12-volt battery charger, a syringe, and a container to collect the misted liquid. Connect the hose to the injector, securing it with a clamp to prevent movement. Connect the injector to the battery charger or a 12-volt battery, then fill a syringe with the solvent and inject it into the hose connected to the injector. Switch on the charger: the injector will start to mist the solvent. Blow compressed air through the hose to clean thoroughly; if the spray is even and fanned out, the injector is clean. Repeat for each injector. Wear safety glasses during the misting operation; this is an economical system and it works.
