Keeping your injectors clean and tuned is one of the best ways to improve mileage in a diesel. Some injectors are not worn out - they just need a good cleaning. Kent's full instruction manual on diesel fuel injector cleaning, testing and overhaul will guide you through the process.
Product Details
The PDF manual covers diesel fuel injector removal, disassembly, cleaning, overhaul, and testing. You can view this PDF from your account, then download it and print it if you desire.
The injector cleaning tool kit (designed and hand fabricated by Kent Bergsma) includes all the custom brass tools you will need to clean your fuel injectors successfully without damaging the critical internal steel surfaces. To read more about, Kent's tool kit look below.
This kit will help you disassemble and clean the internal parts without damaging the critical sealing surfaces and injector needle and seat surfaces. Only brass tools should be used on internal parts. The kit contains brass brushes, a brass scraper, a brass seat cleaner, a brass sump chamber cleaning, a brass nozzle hole cleaning, and aluminum vise protectors. I even throw in a stainless steel brush to help clean the outside surfaces.
SPECIAL NOTE: For those who are running straight vegetable oil SVO WVO for fuel be aware that your fuel injectors will need to be removed for periodic cleaning to assure top performance. From my experience I recommend they be removed and cleaned every 12,000 miles.That corresponds with a recommend valve adjustment on the older diesel engines. I have found it to be convenient to do these jobs at the same time.
I recommend you have a torque wrench and correct deep socket when removing and reinstalling your injectors.
