I need a fuel injector cleaning write-up/how to please.

Me and a buddy of mine did a top engine cleaning but we weren't sure how to do the fuel injecetor cleaning. Btw my buddy works at a toyota shop, so we werent clue-less but a write-up with some pictures would be great.

Buy BG44k, twist off top, tear off safety cover, pour into engine, fill engine up with 91+ octane, drive and don't fill up until close to empty. Injectors are now clean.

Heres an idea: Buy some BG44k and stick in your tank. EASY!
I heard it works pretty well.

what kinda injector cleaning are you looking for?


beginner : in tank fuel additive cleaner BG44k
intermediate : pressurized injector cleaner thru fuel rail inlet (3M universal fuel injector cleaner)
hardcore : take off fuel injectors and send it to an injector specialist for professional cleaning, flow test and calibration. (i.e. RC engineering : http://www.rceng.com/service.htm#INJECTOR)

BG also has a pressurized injector service, but it's pretty expensive.

Ah...sorry you DON'T pour BG44K into the engine. You pour it into the gas tank when it's almost empty.

maxi-overdose: I am looking to do an intermediate cleaning. Pressurized fuel cleaner thru the fuel rail inlet. Like what a stealership would do.
