Top Fuel System Carbon Cleaner Year Review: What works, What Doesn't?

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Would you like to see more themed content round-ups like this? Let me know! 😊

[@reiannaidoo]

@@DIYAutoworksNG maybe a little. Like 30%

[@Sammy-oo8zi]

Yes, why not? Now let's get this started!

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

@@reiannaidoo Thanks for the feedback. You're right. It would be highly dependent on having the kind of single videos that when combined tell a better story. I don't it'd be more than 10% actually. But let's see.

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

@@Sammy-oo8zi Ma' man! 🤝🏼👍🏼

[@reiannaidoo]

@DIYAutoworksNG I think 10% is just perfect.

[@nchitechredneck]

Great info! I love all of your before/after pics. No one else is doing this much work.

[@reiannaidoo]

Thanks bro. These videos take a long time to make. Great stuff.

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Appreciate it!

[@MaggotCZ]

BG44K platinum due to PEA is one of those that actually works, my engine was pinging like crazy with high load during high climb uphill and this product that i got multiple times completely decimated the carbon so the issue is gone. I also have non GDI / NA engine so the intake is clean.

[@iykenebeli3281]

Do you recommend it for Toyota Corolla?1

[@MaggotCZ]

@@iykenebeli3281 i dont think there is any restrictions for types of cars, any gasoline powered engine should be OK with it. BG does a different one for diesels.

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

You're on point. Of all the cleaners I've used to date, it was BG44K Platinum that brought back the most power to the car.

[@iykenebeli3281]

@@MaggotCZ thanks for your response, I'll definitely give it a try

[@brandonnguyen1486]

What's PEA?

[@ZIGZAGBureauofInvestigation]

Been using BG 44 since the 1990's.

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Great stuff 🙌🏼

[@porkrind3512]

Your efforts while tedious and repeative did serve a useful purpose for all of us. Specifically to avoid buying snake oil.

[@kevinkinsler]

For Valve cleaning I'd recommend STP PRO Intake Valve Cleaner. It gets Great Results.

[@dimmacommunication]

Spray in the intake ?

[@kevinkinsler]

@dimmacommunication It comes with a hose,that goes in the intake

[@NorthwoodsAmerican]

Appreciate all your time involved in making these videos and experiments!👍🏼✌🏼

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Glad you found it helpful! 🙌🏼

[@BlackLung911]

The proper way to clean the inlet valves is to use crushed walnut shells with a compressor & an adapter for the inlet ports on the cylinder head, you also need a vacuum cleaner. There are lots of videos showing how to do this job. In the UK there also a service called Terra Clean which cleans the whole fuel system that cost around £70, this is a very good option for people who are not hands on working on their cars.

[@BMan100]

Yup..pretty much for all direct injection engines. You need to physically clean the intake valves. Or use an intake cleaner on a regular basis.

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Absolutely. Regular maintenance is key!

[@owenhill-vf7ko]

Use top tier gasoline, change oil (synthetic) every 5k miles, change the PCV valve and Spark plugs every 50k miles. No catch can and valves are clean, even on my 2015 3.5 Ecoboost with over 130k trouble free miles. 3rd generation mechanic and engine builder.

[@owenhill-vf7ko]

Those, doubting remember the older cars with carburetors? Valves looked horrible. Ever seen inside of a racing engine run on methanol? Crystal clean. Fuel has a lot to do with it!!

[@moussabugale1722]

THANKKS YOU FOR UPDATING US EVRYDAY

[@rondhole]

I wished you also show used oil analysis and how much engine wear increased/decreased by adding fuel detergent. Generally, fuel detergent does not harm the engine unlike oil additives.

[@RikAindow]

Great video. The level of detail you went into is perfect and demonstrates your point. Happy Christmas from here in England.

[@radeshenmoodley4147]

Very nice video, gets to the point and a very good set of images and editing.

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Thanks, appreciate that!

[@quyle9483]

Great video my friend

[@shaditips]

Which one is better? My car is VW passat gte 2017 plug and hybrid

[@cruisingtheroad3903]

Great vid👍👍, now I need to order some BG

[@justwanttocomment12]

Good job brother!

[@steven4894]

Great videos.👍 So, do you think BG44K works better than the Liqui Moly Valve Cleaner you used in a previous video? 🤔

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Yes, absolutely. I honestly had more power after the BG44K Platinum with spirited driving run, compared to when I did the Liqui Moly. It will need about 3 applications in my guesstimate (ie for the level of buildup I was dealing with.

[@Tracy-wr7mj]

@@DIYAutoworksNGdid liqui moly have PEA in it??seems pea is what to use in gdi engine..

[@Tracy-wr7mj]

​@@DIYAutoworksNG yt just censored my comment so here we go again ...does liq moly have pea in it ??

[@RJ6AV6]

Try the Liqui Moly through the vacuum line on the intake manifold next

[@ashley.vanvleck]

Great video!!!

[@pinakidas397]

Try Sea Foam also :)

[@l...]

You need add computer ( scanner ) to this test to check sensor performance

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

It may not show any difference, except if the sensor was really dirty or badly fouled with carbon.

[@princek5270]

You should do a video using Liqui moly Proline fuel system cleaner

[@merchanics5633]

AR6900-D max in not a heavy duty cleaner. It's designed to reduce the build up of new carbon deposits. It's a preventative additive. AR6900-D max additive provides a cleaner burn thereby reducing new deposit build up. I would start with a heavy duty cleaner the bg44k and followup with AR6900-D max in every tank full.

[@2smart3guys]

does it clean injectors and/or the valves? is there a working alternative thank you

[@JW-bu7fp]

Great video! Would like to see a test of the Marvel Mystery Oil at the recommended dose (4oz to 10 gal).

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

I hear you, let's see.

[@Tracy-wr7mj]

do you have chevron gas in your area? maybe filling there only since it has PEA in it...unlike the otbers...that would be a good test

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Absolutely! Though no Chevron or Shell Vpower in my locality

[@IronMike-f8i]

It failed to CLEAN. TECHRON😢😢😢 IN TESTS

[@Tracy-wr7mj]

@@IronMike-f8i Not sure we saw the same .PEA is about the only thing that helps GDI..using the chevron gas would help maintain a GDI since it has PEA..the only one.

[@IronMike-f8i]

@Tracy-wr7mj look at project farms results, and others too. Chevron techron,, dId,, Nothing,,,. Zero...

[@Tracy-wr7mj]

@IronMike-f8i i am looking at maintenace not a magic trick...nothing will clean it instantly by adding to gas...but if you use gas that contains it...then down the road a gdi engine would be happier then using nothing...

[@RodNobbs]

That would be good 👍

[@luisking4812]

How come you didn’t show the back of the valves after using BG product?

[@herewegoagain7403]

Can you try redline?

[@dimmacommunication]

Are you in Negeria ?

[@OK247OK]

Unless you can physically scrape/clean the carbon, these sprays etc will only do minimal cleaning

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

That's becoming my reality. There are a few more products I would want to test, but they aren't the easiest to get. Carbon X K1&K2

[@kinpatchifox]

great video

[@ShurikGi]

It's hard to expect a miracle if you can't use better quality fuel...

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

True.

[@john0270]

So odd how one cleaned the piston tops better, and the other cleaned the injector tips ect better

[@lazy4l1f3]

Love this shit.

[@nenadstamenkovic5622]

Perfect!

[@u.e.u.e.]

1st and foremost rule: don't buy any car with GDI! Period! 2nd if you didn't follow the 1st rule: give the car away after 24 to 36 months. 3rd if you didn't follow safe money for walnut blasting. Not any other possibility - simple as that! 🤷‍♂️

[@jeremywentworth1833]

I'm English & I can completely understand every word the Gent says .

[@josemiranda9197]

Obviously this is NOT a tecnical experiment. Using a product after used others naturally makes the last one used to achieve the best results!!

[@Gspizzy]

Retitle this to "Liqui Moly Fail" & "BG44K Fail"

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Liqui Moly Fail, yes. But I won't call BG a fail at all. It just needs multiple applications for the level of buildup I have. In all my testing; and I've done quite a few, I'm yet to come across a product in the tank that would clean this level of deposits in one application.
