Cleaning diesel injectors: why is it important?
Many motorists
They believe that if they refuel their equipment with the highest quality fuel, then there can be no talk of any breakdowns. No, this is not true at all for several reasons:
- No one will ever know the quality of the fuel. High cost does not always mean and/or guarantee quality. There is no possibility of instant verification at all.
- It is under the guise of an expensive product that diluted liquid is most often sold.
In the end, it turns out like this: the driver fills up with more expensive fuel, pours various cleaning additives into the tank, buys synthetic motor oil, but there is no benefit. Qualified specialists from our diagnostic service center will help you find out the true cause of your car’s “jamming.” Perhaps your car's fuel injection pump just needs cleaning of the diesel injectors.
Application
The instructions for using this product are not complicated. This drug is poured into the more than half empty fuel tank of a diesel car before refueling. The car is then refueled as usual. You need to go to the reserve. Repeat cleaning every 1500, 3000 or 5000 km (for the product “Synthetic injector cleaner and tuning for diesel”), in accordance with the instructions included with the product.
Some of the products in the series are intended for one-time use - that is, one bottle equals one use and is completely poured into the tank. Others (particularly those with SMT or ER conditioners) are designed for multiple applications and come packaged with a special dosing reservoir. It helps to measure the amount of substance required for one application.

New mechanisms, but old problems
That the fuel is of poor quality
becomes problem No. 1 for all types of power units, we have already found out. Third-party impurities firmly settle on the walls of the mechanisms and “successfully” prevent the free flow of fuel. Despite the outlet size being only 1.0 microns, impurities find a place to settle. More than fifteen years have passed since the birth of the fuel mechanism, automakers are using second and third generation injectors with a direct injection system. But the old problems remained. Only thanks to modern technologies, repair shop workers can handle any difficulties. A special flushing liquid, a simulated high-pressure stand, the necessary equipment and high-quality experience of our craftsmen are the main components of our successful work.
In relation to a diesel unit, everything is a little more complicated for the reason that all impurities immediately settle after stopping the engine. During movement and flow of diesel fuel, deposits do not form. The power unit is stopped, the formation of a layer of paraffin begins, which petrifies over time. Each time the channel capacity decreases by 2.5%.

Car signals about the need for cleaning
Service station mechanics recommend paying attention to the following “symptoms” of the machine:
- lack of stable
idling;
- starting the engine is difficult;
- acceleration dynamics are slightly reduced;
- when you press the gas sharply, there is a weak response;
- diesel consumption suddenly increased;
- lumbago in the exhaust system;
- increased gas emissions;
- detonation of the power unit;
- black smoke.
It is important to know!
The above list is not exhaustive, and each car may have its own “quirks” that are unique to it. Therefore, pay attention to all signals, but especially to the above.
Preparing for diesel flushing
To flush diesel fuel equipment I needed:
- Two fine filters used on domestic cars (20 rubles per piece);
- Transparent silicone hose with a diameter of 8 mm. and 2 meters long (80 rubles);
- Empty 5 liter water bottle;
- A tube with a diameter of 8 mm and a length of 4 cm for connection to the fuel supply pipe.
Cleaning diesel engine injectors
Experienced auto technicians at our center recommend using a special solution for washing - solvent. In one fell swoop, several birds with one stone, for the reason that it is both a cleaner and a rinse.
Cleaning methods are:
- Pouring the mixture directly into the tank of the machine. This is the easiest cleaning option when time is limited and the client is in a hurry. Despite its simplicity, the consequences of such haste will have extremely negative consequences. The reason for this is the rapid cleaning of diesel injectors and the removal of large areas of fossilized impurities from the walls. Small passage hole, high pressure, eventually the passage becomes clogged, fuel does not flow in the required volume. The piston group wears out.
- Cleaning diesel injectors with
using an ultrasonic test bench: in a repair shop, the fuel pump and fuel injection pump are dismantled, other components of the system are not affected. This is the main difference from other methods. The TF is connected to a special stand, the pressure corresponding to the machine system is applied, and the spraying result is recorded. The main advantage is that not a single fossil will fall into the combustion chamber and will not have a negative impact.
- Using a mobile special service unit for cleaning without dismantling. The cleaner is poured into the system, outside the fuel system, through separate channels. The engine is started and runs for half an hour at different speeds, after which each diesel injector is tested and needs to be cleaned. All dirt and deposits remain in the mobile installation system, outside the machine’s power unit.
- Washing diesel injectors by dismantling each of them one by one and rinsing it with a solvent. The problem is that it needs to be disassembled, reassembled, and cleaned. The work is too expensive, both in terms of effort and money. But our employees can do it too.
Of all the above methods, the second one is the most acceptable. These data are based on the results of owners contacting our auto repair shop and ordering services.
Remember!
Only certified service workshops can provide you with high-quality work and a warranty period. All kinds of pseudo service stations will never be able to carry out work at the proper level. One saying is still relevant: the miser pays twice. Fraudsters are just waiting for their victims to fall for the low cost and beautiful slogans. So be careful.
Why is it necessary?
Hi-Gear diesel injector cleaner is a modern chemical product that can quickly and efficiently clean diesel engine injector nozzles even from old contaminants. This ensures normal operation of the system and extends the life of the injectors.
In addition, the cleaner has a whole bunch of “side” effects - no less useful than the main effect. So, it is necessary to combat the formation of plugs, to reduce the risk of corrosion and scuffing, to neutralize moisture and some other functions. For example, some Hi-Gear products not only clean injectors, but also have a conditioning effect, neutralize harmful substances, renew the engine and increase its power.
Purpose and compatibility
Hi-Gear injector cleaner is designed to clean and care for diesel engine injector nozzles to increase their service life and performance. Improves atomization and dynamic movement of the fuel mixture. All products in the series are compatible with catalytic converters and turbochargers. Many of them have also successfully passed compatibility and safety tests specifically for Russian cars.
This product is used in diesel passenger cars, minibuses, medium-sized trucks and heavy-duty vehicles.
