Re: [doc] Re: Injector Cleaner

[Nick Tomlinson <nickandkathryntomlinson@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The accummulator is in the fuel line prior to the filter so any crud will always accumulate (cough-cough) here.
   
  I got myself a CIS k-jetronic fuel injector tester from ebay.
  . Looks like this one:

  If they aren't up to the pressure, get some new ones...
   
  (Notice the paint thinner for cleaner !)
   
  Not had chance to have a play with it yet, that thing called work getting in the way again.............

Make sure your fuel lines and filter are fairly clean or all the 
sh*t thats in your fuel system gets dumped at the end of the line ( 
the injecors) and you'll be wishing you had just left well alone.

Years ago I put redex injector cleaner in my D whilst down in Kent 
and by the time I had driven back to Colchester, 100 miles or so, I 
had lost 2 cylinders and it was running horribly. The final straw 
was being overtaken by a Hawaii Taxis LDV minibus on the way home.

At home I tested the injectors and nearly all of them where shagged, 
spraying badly/dripping etc... thankfully after a new of injectors 
everything was fine again.

Your money is better spent on a good dose of Shell petrol, experts 
always rave about the detergent package in Shell fuels. Use good 
fuel all the time and you'll never need injector cleaner.

Just my 2p
