Basically, send SWMBO, and SWMBOette out for lunch, pitch the injector parts in the oven, put it on "self clean" and see what happens. When the dynamic duo return, you get to say "look Honey, I cleaned the oven." Rick ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search l

I hadn't heard of #9 injector cleaner before this month so I haven't tried it, but the stuff Grant describes on diesel injectors sounds more like what #9 is designed to remove (combustion residue) than the varnish on vergasser injectors. Mitch. > On June 5, 2019 at 1:07 PM Dan--- via Mercede

Both the short and long answer to that question is "NO". For a nozzle to convert a liquid to atomized droplets requires very close tolerances between a number of components inside the nozzle. Carbon is a strong material that doesn't "dissolve easily" and when baked on in the heat and pressure of c

Just happens, I have more than passing experience with fuel nozzles used in Jet A environment and Diesel engines. [Jet A and No 2 diesel are nearly identical except Jet A has additives to retard gel point [it's cold at altitude] ] Bottom line, in BOTH uses, the nozzles become coated with coke and
