Injector cleaning service

[5.oh]

Anyone had good luck with a vendor or other service? Looks like JPC has good reviews and pricing is reasonable.

You mean actually taking injectors out of the car and having them cleaned?

Or by service you mean while in car, which is usually done by running some sort of cleaning substance mixed in with gas.

Just run a high dose of polyetheramine in the tank. STP and Chevron both have "Complete Fuel System Cleaners" that do a 1 tank cleanup. You would have to have really dirty injectors to require removal to clean.

Are you having issues? I usually run a bottle of Techron Concentrate every other oil change or so along with using Top Tier gas brands.

Some of these oil change places turn off the fuel pump and run a can of cleaner through the fuel rail. I think that's what he is asking about. As for me 4 things go in my tank:

Fuel
Octanium if I am feeling frisky
Stabil for the winter
Love

Thats it!

I’m talking about taking the injectors out and having them sent out for cleaning and flow testing. Been running e85 for some time and done need an injector creating a lean condition in a boosted car

Stabil contains almost no active ingredients. Just an FYI.

If you really want to take the injectors out and send them somewhere, I had good luck with https://witchhunter.com/ . Straight forward stuff.

Polyetheramine is safe for use with ethanol, and I believe the Chevron Techron bottle even states ok with ethanol (it's all PEA and solvent). This will clean the injectors up in one tank.
Coming from an injector manufacturer, the most we will do to clean them is flush with clean fuel, spray the tips with a highly polar solvent, then ultrasonic clean the tips with detergent. I am not sure you would need all that if you just run a detergent additive in the tank.

$22 per injector? Damn, I need to start a side business.
