Oil, pistons, exhaust system, brakes - everything gets dirty and continues delivering more or less similar power to a certain extent. However there is one part of the engine that really causes a difference in performance when dirty: <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fuel_injection\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">injectors<\/a>. Clogged injectors are an issue that could lead to even bigger problems. Let\u2019s find out how can you detect injector issues and how to fix them.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Clogged injectors symptoms<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Over time, the injectors suffer from the combustion inside the engine. Gasoline and diesel, both derived from petroleum, are not the cleanest fuels in the world and they always generate residue inside the engine.<\/p>\n<p>When this debris is left to build up, it doesn\u2019t allow for a proper fuel scattering and can even cause leaks or block the fuel flow.<\/p>\n<p>If this is the case, the driver should notice one of the following signs:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Increase in <strong>pollution<\/strong>, especially noticeable in the government's technical inspection of vehicles.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lower performance<\/strong> with an increase in fuel consumption<\/li>\n<li><strong>Starter<\/strong> issues (engine knocking, strange sounds)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Randomly<\/strong> bucking or surging<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Injector cleaning solutions<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The 3 most common ways to clean injectors are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Disassembling<\/strong> and cleaning with an ultrasonic machine<\/li>\n<li><strong>Disassembling<\/strong> some parts and cleaning with compressed air<\/li>\n<li><strong>Not disassembling<\/strong> at all and cleaning with additives<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The methods which include disassembling should only be undertaken by a professional. Not only because it\u2019s necessary to have some engine knowledge but especially because of the machinery needed.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, there are some DIY kits but they usually require some dismantling and this can be a bit intimidating for some users.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Your own injector cleaning kit<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to ensure a proper clean but don\u2019t want to get your hands dirty, we present our solution: <a href=\"https:\/\/xenum.com\/en\/home\/products\/additives\/fuel\/petrol-cleaners\/ultimax-petrol-conditioner\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Ultimax Petrol<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/xenum.com\/en\/home\/products\/additives\/fuel\/petrol-cleaners\/ultimax-petrol-conditioner\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-5794\" src=\"https:\/\/xenum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Injector-Cleaning-Kit-Ultimax-Petrol-for-clogged-injector-cleaning-700x394.png\" alt=\"Injector Cleaning Kit - Ultimax Petrol for clogged injector cleaning\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xenum.vcto.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Injector-Cleaning-Kit-Ultimax-Petrol-for-clogged-injector-cleaning-700x394.png 700w, https:\/\/xenum.vcto.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Injector-Cleaning-Kit-Ultimax-Petrol-for-clogged-injector-cleaning-250x141.png 250w, https:\/\/xenum.vcto.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Injector-Cleaning-Kit-Ultimax-Petrol-for-clogged-injector-cleaning-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/xenum.vcto.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Injector-Cleaning-Kit-Ultimax-Petrol-for-clogged-injector-cleaning-120x68.png 120w, https:\/\/xenum.vcto.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Injector-Cleaning-Kit-Ultimax-Petrol-for-clogged-injector-cleaning.png 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Just use one bottle of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/xenum.com\/en\/home\/products\/additives\/fuel\/petrol-cleaners\/ultimax-petrol-conditioner\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Ultimax Petrol<\/a>\u00a0before filling the tank, then drive ~30 km a high RPM.
