Fuel System
Automotive engines require periodic maintenance for efficient operations. The most neglected part of automotive maintenance is the fuel system, it is usually not attended to until problems in the form of slow starts, sluggish acceleration or degraded fuel economy are noted. This condition is amplified in today’s high compression ratio and turbocharged engines.
Fuel system service should be included in periodic automotive maintenance of combustion engines; this applies to petrol and diesel engines, especially diesel engines.
The Problem
Automotive engines of today are built for efficiency and environmental concerns using complex emission and fuel control systems. Petroleum refiners have on the other hand moved to lower quality crude oils, which produce fuel with poor combustion characteristics and at the same time fewer detergent additives are added to their products.
As a result, petroleum products have become more difficult to completely break down during combustion. A by-product of incomplete combustion is carbon impurities, which are deposited throughout entire fuel system but mostly in combustion chambers (build-up of carbon deposits).
This condition is more pronounced, noticeable and more problematic with diesel engines.
Consequently, data sent to the engine control unit (ECU) from oxygen sensors and air-flow sensors are skewed. The engine then compensates anomalies by demanding more fuel to power the vehicle, resulting mostly in degraded fuel economy and sluggish acceleration.
The Common Solution
Decarbonize Engine – Process of removing carbon deposits inside engines.
Decarbonizing an engine can be accomplished using either a mechanical or chemical method.
The common method to decarbonize an engine is mechanical, which involves disassembly of some engine parts, potential replacement of injectors, replacement of seals, as well as manual removal of deposits from pistons, valves and inside the combustion chamber.
This manual mechanical method described is time consuming and requires the vehicle be taken out of service for the complete procedure.
Our Solution
We offer a complete, professional engine and fuel system decarbonizing service using a proprietary chemical process that is non-intrusive, faster and also yields better results. For diesel engines with EGR systems, we also have a targeted service designed to unclog impurities around the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve.
The chemistry and technology behind all our service products are demonstrably superior to any competing product on the market, and we stand behind every product we supply.
All our service machines have built-in diagnostics to quickly check the integrity of a system before service is started. In the case of a fuel system service, our service machine will first pressure test the fuel system to test for any leak as well as verify integrity of the fuel pump.
Our service machines can also be deployed as a mobile service if need be.
