We have often talked about cleaning different car parts with ultrasonic cleaners. To be quite honest, it is tough to imagine a modern-day garage maximizing its profits without using an ultrasonic cleaner. We have gone over how cleaning parts like the carburetor before, but there are other areas of concern where an ultrasonic cleaner can be just as effective, most notably with fuel injectors.
We are picking out the fuel injector because of how important it is to the overall performance of the vehicle’s engine. Over time, this part can see significant build-up, which results in the fuel injector becoming clogged, which means reduced fuel efficiency and more trips to the pump. With the price of gasoline today, more trips to the pump is something that we would all like to avoid.
Why Is Ultrasonic Cleaning Effective for Fuel Injectors?
The science behind the cleaning is what makes this so effective. Fuel injectors have some very small openings where buildup can occur. Point being, these are not the easiest openings to be able to clean by hand, even with significant soaking or a power washer. Ultrasonic cleaners use ultrasonic waves that create cavitation. That cavitation create microscopic bubbles that travel to the various parts in the tank, then implode when they come into contact, removing the debris.
Better Performance
This cleaning process, when properly matched with the right settings and cleaning fluid, leaves you with a piece of equipment that is completely free of debris and ready for re-installation.
The most obvious benefit of this is going to be better performance, which results in better engine performance and fuel usage. That, of course, means you are saving money on gasoline.
Second, if you are using cleaning fuel injectors this way in a professional garage, you are freeing up your staff to do other tasks instead of babysitting equipment or hand cleaning it for hours. While the ultrasonic cleaner is running, your staff can be working on other cars and making you money.
