The first thing we need to know to put ourselves in context about cleaners and how to clean our injector is to understand what a diesel injector cleaner is.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Injection valves are elements of your vehicle’s injection system.<\/strong> There is one for each cylinder and these are divided into different parts. Their main function is to introduce a sprayed amount of diesel fuel into the combustion chamber, where it mixes homogeneously with the air in the chamber.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advantages of using diesel injector cleaners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the past, injection valves<\/strong> still operated mechanically.<\/strong> Today they are solenoid valves<\/strong> that are electronically controlled and are truly precise elements.<\/strong> These nozzles are connected simultaneously to other components and sensors in the vehicle that are critically important for diesel combustion through the engine. In the late 1980s, injection systems replaced carburetors because they offered major advantages.<\/strong> The priority<\/strong> in these cases is the reduction of polluting gases;<\/strong> because if we compare the new modern injection systems with carburetors, the latter clearly fall short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 5 best-known advantages of using diesel injector cleaners:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Improved engine start and temperature performance<\/li>\n
  2. Reduces fuel consumption<\/li>\n
  3. Reduction of polluting gases<\/li>\n
  4. More efficient injector placement<\/li>\n
  5. Increased vehicle performance<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Types of injection: multiple, direct or both<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    As we mentioned, an engine has one injection valve per cylinder. These valves spray a very fine mist of fuel, whether it is direct or multiple injection.<\/strong> Some more modern engines<\/strong> feature a combination of multiple and direct injection.<\/strong> Depending on the charge space, direct injection and the charge manifold take turns in order to reduce nitrogen oxide. This precise spraying of the injection valves ensures efficient fuel combustion<\/strong>, which translates into greater power. But to achieve this, fuel must be injected under overpressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In the case of multiple injection,<\/strong> the injection nozzles<\/strong> are fed with fuel through a common injection rail,<\/strong> where pressure is between 3 and 6 bar if we are talking about pressure units. With direct injection,<\/strong> the injection nozzles are sustained through a high-pressure pump<\/strong> that can reach up to 350 bar. Modern diesel engines, which can also operate with direct injection, can reach up to 2500 bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Reasons why my diesel injector cleaner may fail<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    As a general rule, the more precise the technology, the easier it is to damage. In this case, the ultra-fine holes in the injection nozzles can become clogged quickly;<\/strong> for example, from poorly filtered fuel that could block these holes and cause permanent failures. Even a small change in fuel spraying could have a harmful effect on engine performance and consumption.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If we have dirty or damaged injectors, this could cause different problems in our vehicle:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
