For common rail diesels I use fairy liquid and ammonium sulphate with vegetable oil. 1L bottle of aldis finest council gear. Remove 100ml then add 4 teaspoons of the ammonium sulphate salt's. Heat it up in a pan to around 100*c, let it cool down and put it back in the bottle. Add 4 tablespoons of fairy liquid, and shake it up gently. Don't worry about the bubbles, they'll settle down mate. Cost about £5 for the mother of all £15 a tank injector cleaners dpf cleaners out of Halfords. Diesel cleaners use nitrogen based agents for removing carbon deposits and fuel line dirt and debris. It's the council version of addblue dpf regeneration liquids. That's your ammonium doing all that. The fairy liquid is a surfactant and detergent. The same base detergent is used in Wynns, and already exists in your pump diesel in Jim Torbett levels of shady. I also have a degree, fuck knows how, in Motorsport and worked for Lucas when I was shagging a wee dirty fae Austin, Texas. I basically stole their recipe, got rid of all the shite you don't need.
Lucas brand unipart fuel injector cleaner for gasoline was 99.5% white spirit in the U.K $3 For a litre . White spirit is made from various solvents such as benzene, toluene, xylene, ethyl acetate, and acetone. The difference between turpentine and white spirit is that turpentine is made from natural resin extracted from trees, while the white spirit is made from petroleum distillate.
This is an old video but the man said he had trouble revving the engine over 3K. The reason he can't do this is because the engine is starving for air at high RPM. The variable vane in his turbo are stuck in the restrictive position which has the effect of quickly spooling the turbo and a barking noise when letting off the accelerator. The downside is the overly restrictive flow will choke the engine at higher RPM, increased exhaust temperatures, poor fuel mileage at highway speeds, possibility to over speed the turbo, and overheat the turbo components such as the turbine wheel and center bearings/bushings, lack of power, overheated exhaust valves and seats, and many more problems. It's common for these turbo components to become stuck in any position if they sit for some time in damp weather and disassembly is advised to free them again.
Hi, I bought in 2016 a Volvo V70 2.4D with 199.000 km, my 2007. I had the engine cleaned with a motorflush, automatic gearbo, power steering cleaned. On top of that a tuning of the ecu. The car went from a "mom and dad" car qith 163 PK, to a smooth car with 225 pk and 500Nm. Gears are smooth, don't feel a bump when it's shifting gears, steering is really smooth and there's enough power to go 230 km/h. The fluids that came out while flushing were real dirty and black. At the moment fuel consumption is about 6 l/1100km average, so including pulling up etc. Fuel consumption on cruise control at 100 km/h is 4,5 to 5 l/100km. Stuff used for flushing was BAG, done is a Volvo enthousiast garage. The Netherlands is a Volvo land, so there are many Volvo maniacs.
Get yourself a 5L bottle of 2EHN (2 Ethylhexyl Nitrate) 99% pure cetane booster, also cleans injectors, lines etc. Makes your fuel burn cleaner, less deposits, cleaner engine etc etc. Been using it for years. I have a 2006 BMW e60 530d (stage 1 map). At Crail raceway my first time after the map was 14.3 seconds in the 1/4 mile. After using 250ml of 2EHN mixed with 250ml of Jaso FB 2-stroke oil in a full tank of shell V-power next time I ran at Crail, I dropped 2.1 seconds. That's huge in the quarter mile. 1ts a 185k engine with original DPF and it only has 9 grams of Ash in there. Most cars of this age and mileage are choked up or on their 2nd DPF or gutted. £30 for 5L of 2EHN, £20 or so for 5L of Jaso fb rated 2-stroke and I use it at every fill up. Runs like a train.
i've about the same strategy with my PD140 audi A3 2.0TDI, getting in about 100ml of 2-EHN and 200ml of Mannol 2T Jaso FB every fill-up(55L tank) using supermarket fuel for over 3 years- idle improved alot since i've first got this car and consumption is great especially that i'm putting lot of miles driving in the town at the moment.
I had my k74 driveway re-mapped and was happy with the results. Had worse MPG for the first 2 weeks then all of a sudden it got really good. So all in all got around about a 30% HP and torque increase as well as better MPG
That's good to know. I've actually just done the exact opposite of what I saur in the video and fitted the tuning box after the mobile ecu remapping guy let me down. No blown engine so far! Very noticeable power increase too
People just imagine things. I've been using it on every full tank and it's not only been cleaning the injectors but even the catalytic converter. The check engine light was on for catalytic converter code and it went away by just using injector cleaners
Too much injector cleaner can desolve too much a chunk of gunk, but not desolving it complitly and may cause blockage in fuel system. Also, diesel fuel has lubricating properties that are important for the long-term operation of the high-pressure pump, but injector cleaner may reduce it when over dose. It is okay to use injector cleaner for cleaning injectors directly on stend and after that flush with diesel.
I've used all manner of injector cleaners over the years in my 2.0 tdi and in my experience the best one by a country mile is the Forte injector cleaner.
Diesels will run on 100% injector cleaner and not give a crap. Only adverse effect is that the revs will hang when you let off, and drop only after a while
Try once a year adding 1 quart of ATF to 10 gallons of fuel. The detergent in any ATF is one of the most powerful known to man and will clean anything. I've used it for years and I have never had a bad fuel injector. Works with any fuel injector, gas or diesel.
I did a liquid moly diesel purge where you run the engine from the can until its all gone, just need to put the fuel return in the can too. Did it work ?🤷♂did it hurt? I don't think so. That car must be what we call tritons here in aus.
Apparently if you have a dpf you need to make sure the map is 100% for the car as a lot of people go getting cheap maps done and it is only about 80% match as they just buy cheap ones on the internet. What ends up happening is dpf gets clogged, kicks out black smoke however the performance will be good. Make sure it’s a good map etc reputable person who knows what they doing.
And how do you know that they know what they are doing if you know nothing about it yourself. Leave the engine as designed by the manufcturer. Mechanics don't know what they are doing, they are just parts fitters and have to follow written instructions and pictures for those that cannot read. You gain nothing by having a car remapped. So you might increase 0-60 accelleration by 1 second, so what are you going to do with that one second saved. If you think faster accelleration is safer then you are a poor driver and the causer of accidents and near misses.

@@FastInTheCornerswith Forte diesel cleaner it lasts a few years before it needs it again, I have done this as a mechanic for mot failures with thousands of success stories.
My mechanic disabled the fuel pump, connected external pressure to a container and tapped into the fuel line on the engine bay. Mitsubishi pajero v6 3.0 6g72, then left it running on wynns injector cleaner till empty. My jeep definitely feels more responsive to pedal.
When i change my fuel filter on my ranger i prime/fill the filter with stp fuel cleaner, run for 5 mins then let it sit for an hour or two to soak in never had a new injector and ive got about 200,000 miles on the clock
I use half a litre of two stroke oil into half a tank of diesel once a month can also cure sticky injectors, best thing there is, if you have a dpf use quarter of a litre to half a tank of diesel
Hard to say. After the experiment I was just relieved it still ran 😂 shortly after I fitted a diesel tuning box so my mpg is in the toilet at the moment. My honest summary would be "no noticeable effects" 👍
Once a year when I change my fuel filter I fill the filter with injector cleaner so it run on straight clean for a bit. You can literally here the injectors get quiet
Forte diesel cleaner fill the filter and run the engine, it lasts a few years for mot failures, yes I’m a mechanic and have done it thousands of times.
kinda strange decision tbh, I mean, with all the shit that's probably at the bottom of the tank you'd probably undo all the good the injector cleaner tried to do. Maybe.
If you take the little hose off that sucks air from the valve cover, you might get more leaks. I have a similar hose on my 6 cylinder super major, and not only does mine feed the air compressor with the greasy vapours from the valve cover, that same air compressor also prevents pressure from building up
I normally wait untill the fuel light goes on, add 1 bottle with 20 litres, as the additive floats on diesel it needs to be mixed with the diesel which happens when you fill up,, I doubt very much that any got through to your injectors until after you added the 17 litres,, and then only after about 30 miles, so the video should have started after you added the 17 litres
@@FastInTheCorners Worst MPG I got was when towing a circa 2-2.5 tonne load across the country. Was getting 25 MPG which is still very decent for one of these. Use it as a preventative measure more than MPG gains. Let us know if you see MPG gains from your injector cleaner!
I've been weary of the stuff since it scrapped the fuel pump on my e30 petrol at a very awkward time and that was just one bottle when I filled up. It just depends with older cars if there's crud in the tank maybe cleaning or at least inspecting it first is a good idea.
4 bottles on a ful tank would be good, as you also need to give to product time to work. by doing it on such an empty tank its gone before it had time to work. cleaning injectors doesnt cause smoke.
I've de cat'd mine with a stainless system and it seems to have dulled the whistle noise. (Prev whistle was loud due to many holes in the exhaust 😂) Any suggestions to get the whistle back?
If I was to stick one bottle into my half full tank and then top up to full and do a long journey will it do anything? Or be completely pointless/make my car worse? 😅
The bottle its self only asks for a minimum of 20 litres, it doesn't specify a maximum. It certainly won't make your car worse or do any harm, but might not be as effective on a completely full tank. If you're planning that long trip just take the additive with you and pop it in when it gets down to half a tank maybe?
Breif subscription , Liquid Moly Purge, disconnect the fuel relay or fuse, in engine bay disconnect both fuel lines put them in the bottle of Liqui Moly Purge start engine,run it until the bottle is nearly empty.Replace fuel filter disconnect everyday and attach the normal fuel lines back to the car.

I only have have the truck about two weeks now but from my understanding I don't believe it's remapped or have any tuning boxes... The model I have looks just like yours but it's a 1999 and I even realize that it didn't came with a egr from factory cause there is no blocking spots or anything. Then again I'm from the Caribbean islands and all our vehicles are different
@@keeganalvesbmx I'm jealous of the no EGR set up, your intake must be so much cleaner inside. Personally I wouldn't be worried too much if the smoke is black unless you're seeing a drop in performance, but I'm far from an expert 😂
Haha yeah I was looking into deleting the egr and then realise my intake manifold doesn't even have that port or any sort to have a egr. I was like bonus! Did you feel any more power from the straight pipe exhaust? And did you lose mpg?
As well as too much fuel, black smoke could also be caused by, not enough air. I.e a blockage in an air pipe, improper signal from MAF sensor, there's a few culprits for it, but if your car is pre EGR I wouldn't worry about it, it's likely been like that from new lol
Best injector cleaner ever is e85 fuel for gasoline engines. I would go fill up and do half tank regular gasoline and then half e85. Most injector cleaners are mostly ethanol anyway. You do NOT want to do this on vehicles made before a certain year, I think it is 2000? Those older vehicles were not made to handle ethanol and it will eat through fuel lines, destroy your fuel pump, injectors, etc. But if you have a more modern car, this works great. You just have to keep in mind that ethanol is higher octane and contains less energy than gasoline, as well as converts to different gases as exhaust. So your car will have noticable less power and may have some funny things go on since the computer does not know how to measure exhaust of ethanol unless it was made for it.
Once low fuel light comes on you are left with at least 50 kilometers of range. It's car standard since 1987 and that's something that car manufacturers won't tell you about. Don't ask me how I know it
Common knowledge actually and it is 50 of whatever is the unit of measurement for distance in the country the Speedo is calibrated for, so in his case even more distance ie 50 miles it should last for not KMs, however what his point was in the video is that it’s unclear if this truck is even fitted with a functioning fuel light 😂
Thays no giid vydeo you should show you shaking angine start first than after you shouldbpute the injector liqit in the tank and show the result I didnt get anything from this.
Not all are just kerosene ( although some are definitely) but yes all are 80% or more kerosene as it’s very small amounts of detergent only that is needed

As well as too much fuel, black smoke could also be caused by, not enough air. I.e a blockage in an air pipe, improper signal from MAF sensor, there's a few culprits for it, but if your car is pre EGR I wouldn't worry about it, it's likely been like that from new lol
Best injector cleaner ever is e85 fuel for gasoline engines. I would go fill up and do half tank regular gasoline and then half e85. Most injector cleaners are mostly ethanol anyway. You do NOT want to do this on vehicles made before a certain year, I think it is 2000? Those older vehicles were not made to handle ethanol and it will eat through fuel lines, destroy your fuel pump, injectors, etc. But if you have a more modern car, this works great. You just have to keep in mind that ethanol is higher octane and contains less energy than gasoline, as well as converts to different gases as exhaust. So your car will have noticable less power and may have some funny things go on since the computer does not know how to measure exhaust of ethanol unless it was made for it.
A bonnie day in inchinnan 👍
Gale Banks of Banks Power does not consider the boost gauge.
Once low fuel light comes on you are left with at least 50 kilometers of range. It's car standard since 1987 and that's something that car manufacturers won't tell you about. Don't ask me how I know it
Common knowledge actually and it is 50 of whatever is the unit of measurement for distance in the country the Speedo is calibrated for, so in his case even more distance ie 50 miles it should last for not KMs, however what his point was in the video is that it’s unclear if this truck is even fitted with a functioning fuel light 😂
So did this technique work?
It didn't break it which was the main test 🤣 hard to know if it really made a difference to be honest
MadLad Alert!
With all respect I only seen you pour one bottle of injector cleaner into the fuel tank.
Trust me I don't have the money to waste buying 4 that I'm not going to use 😂
Thays no giid vydeo you should show you shaking angine start first than after you shouldbpute the injector liqit in the tank and show the result I didnt get anything from this.
Thanks, I'll do a shaking engine start first next time so you get something from this 🥴
Dogs in cars....
....what?
Нужно больше присадок
I'm not made of money 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Still true 😂
Injectors cleaner is just kerosene, you overpaid by alot for the kerosene lol!
Not all are just kerosene ( although some are definitely) but yes all are 80% or more kerosene as it’s very small amounts of detergent only that is needed
