Is Your Fuel System Clean on the Inside?


As spiffy as your engine looks when it's spice and span on the outside, being clean inside is much more critical to its health and performance. At Buehler Automotive & Transmission we've recently had the opportunity to try several types of engine fuel system cleaning process and have added the MotorVac to our line of diagnostic and service equipment.

The MotorVac CarbonClean Service is designed to thoroughly cleanse the fuel system and combustion chambers of dirt, gum, varnish and soft carbon deposits. These elements conspire to reduce the efficiency of an engine, compromising its power, fuel mileage, and emissions, often so slowly that the driver doesn't notice it until the condition causes serious driveability problems.

MotorVac CarbonClean Service is more than just a fuel injection service - our technicians will diagnose and clean your entire fuel system! Ask for it with your next tune-up at Buehler Automotive & Transmission. Not only will it restore new car performance; it will improve acceleration, increase fuel economy, reduce harmful exhaust emissions, and correct driveability problems related to carbon and other contamination.

The CarbonClean System is a closed-loop process in which a specifically formulated detergent solution is pumped through an engine's under hood fuel delivery system to dissolve buildup deposits. Due to its concentration, it's quicker and more effective than a typical bottled fuel additive. The solution is also into the air intake track, and because the engine is running while the cleaning is taking place, the combustion's chambers and exhaust system also benefit from the treatment.

The CarbonClean process also includes several diagnostic test; fuel pressure, fuel delivery volume, leak down tests and fuel pressure regulation, to ensure the fuel system is in good mechanical operation, which is valuable insurance in itself. The manufacture recommends it be performed about once a year or every 30,000 kilometers to maintain the fuel system in peak condition. The entire procedure takes about an hour and 15 minutes.
