Definition

The process of removing deposits and blockages from fuel injectors to ensure proper fuel atomisation and delivery to the engine cylinders. This can involve bench testing, ultrasonic cleaning, and running cleaning agents through the injectors.

Why it matters (in Poovi’s context)

Essential for diagnosing and resolving fuel delivery problems that prevent an engine from running correctly.

Key properties or components

  • Bench testing for spray pattern and flow rate
  • Ultrasonic cleaning for stubborn deposits
  • Chemical cleaning agents (e.g., Chemtool)
  • Restoration of fine mist spray pattern

Contradictions or debates

While cleaning is generally beneficial, the video suggests the injectors may have been serviced previously, implying they might not have been the primary issue.
