LET'S FACE THE FACTS, Leo Karnauchow  Destroy your reputation with the use OF ONE WAY PRESSURE UNITS

( Aerosol pressure cans, Air pressure cylinders of any type, to crimp off fuel return lines after the fuel pressure regulator to be able to use this type of equipment, does not work!)

EFI SYSTEM OR FUEL RAIL CLEANING AND THE USE OF FORCED "Rail Cleaners." When you "ram" chemical into a fuel pressure line towards the assumed blocked or restricted injector in an attempt to unblock the injector, in doing so you must block off the fuel return line to the fuel tank, otherwise the chemical disappears into the fuel tank and therefore could not do the job.

I believe that you would agree with me that this is the method the mechanics must apply with their cleaning units on a motor vehicle, starting the engine, and then so on.

Sit down, and really think about what is achieved!
This is what will happen.
1. The fuel pressure regulator diaphragm will become over stretched, not been able to de-load fuel pressure on Idle.
2. The Regulator Housing then becomes bulged out, lowering the internal spring pressure, lowering the original factory setting to control fuel pressure in the system.
3. Dirt, rust, wax, resin, filter adhesives or papier can then be trapped under the swivel seat inside the regulator housing, causing a permanent leak back to the fuel tank with no residual holding pressure for an instant engine start. (The regulator swivel seat will wear the exit pipe on the edge)
4. Injector filter baskets filled with rust, dirt, wax, resin, filter adhesives or papier, pieces of torn fuel hose particles from previous "push on" filter at changes, paint flakes and many more nasties.
5. The car leaves the workshop worse than it come in, with a bad flat spot, hard to start, bad driving or idle characteristics.

This is what the customer will say: I'm sorry our experience with the "EFI specialist" has frightened me to the extent that I'm very reluctant to take the car to someone without a good indication that they know what they are doing.



Let's face the facts:

1. If injector/s are blocked (restricted by resin/varnish/gum etc), the fuel lines must also be contaminated.
2. The entire surface area of the fuel system must have a varying film of build up, not just the inside of the injectors! You must agree? Otherwise, why would you use this method to remove the deposits from the fuel system anyway?
3. Say the surface area of a fuel system is approximately 2 square metres, including the fuel tank, fuel lines, rails, injectors, regulators, fuel filter, accumulator, fuel pump, and not to forget the blocked off fuel return line to the tank. Would you agree with me that all these items in the fuel system COULD be rusty, or at least be holding some water in the cavities, such as: fuel distributors of K- Jetronic and so on.
4. Just think for a minute, if you loosen the resin/varnish/gum and rust particles, to where do you push all these deposits? The return line is blocked off, and the engine is running, all those deposits you hope that you are cleaning off, do you really believe that they will pass through the micro fine filter which is in the body of the injectors?
5. You will have noticed on some cars you must increase the idle to even get the car running, and especially with K-Jetronic, if you have not already damaged the seals on the outlet metering port, and bent the chamber separation plate, you must consider yourself very lucky. What about the warm-up regulator, the dirty return line, the fuel tank, the pressure regulator, the pump and fuel accumulator, etc? All these items you have not cleaned at all!
6. You will agree with me that this is not even half a job and still you do not really know exactly what you have done. Many mechanics will tell you honestly that they don't use the RAM system, as after using it and checking the results it is permanently stored under the bench, NEVER to be used again! Let's face it, to give an example, would you wash your dirty feet and then put your dirty socks back on?
Ask your self now!

a. When you have completed the job do you know what the flow rate is per injector, the fuel pump, or even of the entire fuel system?
b. Do you know what the fuel pressure drop is per injector in m/sec, or if all the injectors are compatible with each other!??
c. You do not know if water is in the tank or in the cavities of other parts of the system, if the fuel system has an airlock, a regulator/accumulator fault, and you do not know if all injectors open exactly at the same applied voltage, or even if you have a vacuum loss!
d. The relationship of air flow meter vane spring tension at 100 kpa. fuel pressure setting to check the synchronising engine and computer compensating elements if they are 100% in balance.
e. This applies to vane type air flow meters, hot wire air mass meters, Karman vortex and MAP sensor systems to be absolutely sure they are in balance with the worn engine and providing the optimum efficiency in power and fuel economy.

ALL this, and much more, have to be considered when doing a satisfactory EFI service. You are not even a quarter of the way successful to making a satisfactory fuel injection service, or even a performance test if you come to a customer with an old outdated system of " RAIL CLEANER"!

With INTER-JECT fuel injection service instruments, plus the long kept secret in the servicing technique you can do EFI servicing the professional way at a fraction of the cost. The system is lots more efficiently than the off car fuel injection cleaning methods, (Bench cleaning units, Ultra Sonic or the RAM AIR PRESSURE system,) and by joining the INTER-JECT service team, you know that you will have all the support and back up that you will ever need by phone or computer disk or the Internet!
