Anyone know about ultrasonic cleaning of fuel injectors?
My wife has an ultrasonic at work so we can do them ourselves, but what to clean them in? Solvent? Water?
Also, anyone ever had any done? Did it make much difference? I guess that question depends on a million variables though.

I thought ultrasonic cleaning was dry! *correction, I was thinking of something else ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png) You can use distilled water or mild solvent

if you can dissassemble any electrical componats, that'd probably work okay. Id be wary of cleaning anything electrical in anything less than a good strong solvent. Ethanol is good ot nail polish remover. In fairness though, as long as theres no current running through/stored in an electrical device when it gets wet, its almost impossible to kill it

don't clean injectors in water! They will rust inside and because of how fine the tolerances are you will knacker them up. The best way to clean them would be to strip them apart and give them a good wipe over with a strong solvent.

You can clean using ultra sonic but you have to hold the injector open which in practice isnt very easy. If you can get access to anyone with an ASNU injector cleaner then thats the best way if noit then as previously said, a clean out with some solvent should do the trick.

There was an artical in PPC a few months back about cleaning injectors in a sonic bath, he used some solvent and a pulse driver (i think it was) to cycle the injector open and shut ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) worked a treat and cost about £15 and can be used over and over.

How does this work with old-school mechanical injectors?

Been looking into this myself. There's a place which does them here:- www.injectorcleaning.co.uk/faq.htmGives a fair bit of info about how it's done. I think the tricky bit is opening the injectors while you're cleaning them. I'd like to see the PPC article.
