Cleaning your injectors

[jdw1]

Has anyone ever cleaned there injectors or used injector cleaners in your fuel with any success?

I think good clean fuel and a routine filter change keeps the injectors clean.
A good injector cleaner would not hurt but then again i am no expert.
Look how long injectors last in your daily driver.
Good clean fuel is the best.

injectors

I had my injectors Cleaned at WitchHunter Performance - Injector Cleaning & Flow Testing Services http://www.witchhunter.com/

Once a year I throw a can of seafoam in the tank. Don't know if it helps, but it doesn't hurt.

X2 I send all of my injectors to them at the beginning of every year, I change the filter every year and make sure to buy clean gas and it is still surprising how much difference there is between the before and after sprays and flows, for 50 some bucks a year it is extremely cheap insurance imo

Seafoam is decent as a cleaner (contains naphtha) but something with a higher solvency works better. I use toluene (can get it from any paint store) which also acts as a true octane boost. It is harsh on gaskets and o-rings so I only use it once at the beginning of each season (add about a pint). I'd forgotten to two years ago and was getting some throttle stumble - added the toluene and cleaned it right up for the rest of the year. I also agree with clean fuel to begin with and use a fine filter in the gas filling can itself: http://www.crfstuff.com/klfifujuggas.html Have not needed to change fuel filter once! The injectors get some varnish residue from evaporated gas over the summer and those deposits easily get dissolved by the toluene. If you already have the Seafoam then I'd try it first but my stumble didn't clean out with just that until I used toluene. Most of the hi-end expensive aftermarket injector cleaners use either toluene or benzene (which are also components of race gas). In fact if you do run a lot of race gas, you'll probably never have to clean your injectors!

Have FUN!

Thanks, I have the engine out right now to do a log rod, so I have the injectors out of the block and can clean them with carb cleaner and was just curious what I could do to clean them, I assume carb cleaner will be ok to use to clean them.

was wondering when you send them away to to be cleaned and flowed do you send it with all the wires attached? I couldn't get the injector to come off the wires.

send wires and injectors together

Yes bossman , send the wires with the injectors . I called WitchHunter to verify this before sending my injectors last Tuesday , he built his own harness to plug into the Polaris injector connections .

Go to "Bob the oil guy " site. Some cleaners work very well just added to the fuel. Lots of recommendations from the "new stuff" with techy breakdowns of the additives. Don't worry about our injectors-fuel system being any different.

Techron is one. Sea Foam is not.

They even talk about and use TCW3 (snowmo oil) oil added to the fuel to keep them clean.
