Cleaning My Diesel Fuel Injectors...Saved me $3000

showing how to clean fuel injectors on a caterpillar c15

[@01..........]

This man is a great man. Hope he continues to make videos. He one of the people made it happen with his videos!!. I don't know how to express it. Any better

[@yeyis05]

I’ve used the Lucas and power Services cleaner products. I never actually knew they worked until My friends Pete With Detroit would blow Fire out exhaust and lope like crazy on start up and would finally idle once it warmed up. I recommended Lucas Cleaner/ and Power services products to him and he asked how much should he put in his tank. I said try whole Gallon and then half gallons for a week and see it it works. About a week later We fired our trucks up in the morning and it purred like a kitten. Smooth as Can be. Total believer in it after that. Great example of a product that works in this video.

Thank you … your video help me with my truck 2 years not working

[@Le_Comte_de_Monte_Felin]

Watched this video several months back & kept it in mind as 'any' fix is a good fix if it works (and doesn't burn the barn down...) . My old International 125C (track loader) has been sputtering after some apparently bad fuel so I swapped out the (nearly new) old filters and filled them both up with Lucas Injector Cleaner (run whatcha brung). Ran it for a while and it seems smooth as silk but letting it heat soak now before restarting. Just wanted to say 'thanks' as I would have been too paranoid about putting 'pure' additive into the filter if I hadn't watch you waking up your truck's motor. Hey - I'm no diesel expert but I get plenty of people telling me to add transmission fluid to my diesel - what's up with that? Thanks again!

Bud you just put a big smile on my face!!! I just got an old w900 with a 3406b and the pump and injectors are a bit dirty, been sittin for a few years in some guys backyard. Keep up the good work! I'm trying that this weekend

I just purchased a Freightliner FL70 with a 8.3 Cummings engine. I wonder if this would help my truck run smoother?

[@nervillerih-reh6824]

I wish you showed us how you did the setup.

[@edbeltran2454]

Hey good vid what ratio u used galons of diesel an diesel kleen about how long you had the truck running? Thanks

Great video! Please do more

Cool I’m going to do my Cummins is smoking like crazy

[@waltersaunders7699]

Great fix mate. How long did you run the engine with the return line blocked off?

Nice work great info

[@truthwillsetyoufree1503]

Good video bro you look happy lol

[@victorcox3397]

i really enjoyed your video. i'm pretty simple minded and know how you feel when you can get big time results with little money!! I have a pre-emission C-15 with what i call a little miss. the mechanics i've took it to say the injectors done good on a "cutout" test and "pressure" test. do you think it would be safe to fill both primary and secondary filters with seafoam or power service to see if it helps?

[@Speedfreak1984]

sounds good to me. it wont hurt anything

[@serpentrae]

@@Speedfreak1984 how many Diesel Purge cans to use for 4 gallons of diesel

[@joseloaeza685]

Hey brother I am currently going through this process, I removed both tanks sending them off to get cleaned, t660 sat for years and we ran it with bad diesel, won’t startup now so I’m removing all supply hoses maybe return also.. worried the fuel pump clogged, so im going to run a setup like yours tomorrow to get some clean fuel through it, so my question is, how did you prime the fuel pressure since it doesn’t have a manual type pump? Thanks

[@ELCHINOFIT]

My truck sounds just like that after turbo wen out and I put a use one it started making that sound and blowing a lot of white smoke mechanic said the engine wen out and need to be replaced but the truck starts it’s weird I feel like it’s the injectors

[@wealthyblackman2655]

CLR.... cleans good

[@Discoworx]

Good video. Thanks.

[@nelsonsantos770]

so I can basically add this to diesel fuel and will clean the engine?

[@sunwaterflowz]

Amazing fix man

[@zafwantrasit5789]

Good idea

Will this work on my power stroke 6.0 lol 👍🏻

Niceeee‼️‼️‼️‼️…..can I try this on A Duramax/Chevy?

[@cedriclee-carter8809]

I have a c-15 also and I pulled my injectors to clean them how would I go about cleaning them while there out?

[@thomasparsons3915]

Nice! What was the ratio cleaner to diesel?

[@digitalbilly]

great video!!! did you shut it down and let it soak over night?

[@Speedfreak1984]

i did not but sounds like a good idea

[@hackman9035]

Don’t use ether. Instead put regular gasoline on a clean towel.

[@tyrondeau8621]

Thank you. Very interesting video. You mentioned " Diesel Purge " Is this the Liqui Molli product? If so what is your experience with it? And which one do you recommend? Thanks

[@sheldonmcclaflin8904]

Diesel Purge is great stuff. Use it by it's self. Pull your filters and dump out the diesel and refill them with the Diesel Purge. I made a 1/2 gallon tank and and had the return line go to it. My tank was a clear food container. The supply also came from my home made tank.

[@bruhbedrivin]

Did you end up cutting the filters open?

[@runebetta]

Did you only ran the whole 250 gallon diesel Klein on the bucket ? Or you added fuel as well ?

[@Speedfreak1984]

Frangel Nova added about 1 gallon of diesel

[@runebetta]

So the whole diesel Kleenex bottle and 1 gallon of fuel ?? & how long you let it run for ?

[@nickkirkland9118]

Wonder if this will work on a m11

[@bustsrods]

Brother, and did it save you from replacement of your head gasket?

[@autoroyal2751]

who manufactures diesel purge ? what brand ?

[@marioguillen6910]

I wanna do that to my duramax Any thoughts

Do you think this will work on a 7.3 powerstroke? With Electric fuel pump and return line

Did it work on your 7.3?

[@evelynmorales3949]

Did it work

[@briancarroll6803]

Also curious about the 7.3 I've been messing with my fuel system today and here trying to figure out a good system to clean the injectors while I'm at it

[@ChrisPBacon-yz6nk]

Donald, did it work?????

[@jamaalsanders9782]

Hey where are u located in NC? I think u can help me with an similar problem on my rig

[@killnconquer2645]

Does this work on a cummins n14, Detroit 60?

[@charlesbeverly8315]

So you used two gallons of fuel and the cleaner correct ? And just let it run , how long do you recommend to let it run ? And I will also turn mine off and allow it to soak over night .

[@Speedfreak1984]

that sound right,worked good for me

[@serpentrae]

@@Speedfreak1984 what is the name of the cleaner you order that you said you used on your VW cars, thank you for making the video

[@randallmercer4995]

Was it the combination of capping the return line and injector cleaner, or just the cleaner, that fixed the problem?

[@Speedfreak1984]

think it was just the cleaner that worked the best but capping the return increases the fuel pressure.

[@michaelschuler7397]

How do you know if the injector does not fire when you swapped them around

[@Speedfreak1984]

I had a laptop with software.I did the injector cut out test.

[@roberthall7206]

What software did you use

[@FtLMale1]

I’ve got a marine Yanmar and I could hear a miss, used a stethoscope on each injector line and could clearly hear the culprit.

[@sheldonrafuse3837]

Can this method be used the same way on a f350 7.3 powerstroke?

[@leocentralexp7632]

Yes use seafoam

[@michaelbenoit248]

Should’ve used the atf, & just threw 2-3gallons in the tank or just filled up the bucket w atf. Atf IMO works better than most of the fuel cleaners out there just because it’s a rly good detergent. I had a 7.3 PSD that like u was running kinda rough. Threw in a gallon of atf in the tank, then a week later it was a noticeable difference in power gain. Still had one weak injector, but I was able to drive the truck for another 6 months before the injectors puked their guts, & finally bought a single new injector to replace the cylinder I knew was bad after doin a check by removing the plug wire on each cylinder. I determined it was cyl 4 which seemed odd, cuz it’s usually 1, 2, 7, & 8 that usually go first. Bought an injector that would work for that year of truck, put it in, & that’s where the issues started. It just wouldn’t start at all, so I threw some blue devil shit in the coolant for the head gasket which helped, but I think I had a seal that wasn’t sealing right. After I had done the treatment I took it for a drive, & it had its power back. Another week or two if driving I could tell it was getting harder, & harder to start. Like the other injectors were goin out. So abt 6 months prior I had done a little experiment w Veg oil, & mixed a filtered batch 50/50. It worked ok, but then it sat for a week. Also goin on at the same time 6 months after that experiment when I started having issues w injectors I was looking for another truck cuz I was 17, & couldn’t afford to fix it. The truck needed tie rods, wheel bearings, all new power steering system, & now a whole host of engine issues. Now to fix all of that would cost just in parts about 1-2K for injectors, 500 for power steering components, $100 for wheel bearing stuff, & probably ball joints since it’s over 300k. I say over 400k cuz the truck had the factory CPS, never touched, stock IPR, & stock HPOP. Over 400-500k 7.3s need the HPOP changed, & IPR.

How long did it work?

I have same issue with my D13 Volvo , I will try it How long you keep the engine running with the cleaner ?

[@Speedfreak1984]

I run the engine till it's about out of cleaner. Most engines burn about a gallon per hour

[@boom1925]

Me too D13f.

[@lowprotv5109]

Can’t you just pour injector cleaner into fuel tanks

I would probably do it once a year. That's what I've done on other diesel vehicles I've owned

Any thoughts on Sea Foam for cleaning diesel injectors?

[@bigred1247]

It works fast fill your filters run it like he did just seafoam then let I'd boil in there do it sgain

[@alectaylor246]

do you have an email for business inquiries?

[@Discoworx]

So you've super dosed with the cleaner. I'm looking to do a land Rover Discovery 3 but can't be arsed removing fuel lines etc. 2 new injectors fitted is $3 grand I'm told. I'm thinking to simply run the fuel low in the tank to increase the concentration. Any thoughts?

[@Speedfreak1984]

doesn't sound like a bad idea.I would run it low and add cleaner and run it low again and then add more cleaner if needed so you can get the concentration up.

[@fritzfromswitzerland]

Isn't that bad for the fuelpump that doesn't get lubricated enough?

[@Speedfreak1984]

It can be but it was only run this way for a short period and most fuel additives have lubrication additives in them.
