Fuel Injector Cleaning

99Rivman,
Did the FelPro O-rings work.
I'm going to swap my injectors soon and would like to know if I have to go to the dealer for proper O-Rings or not.
Thanks

They will work.

Man I Should Probably do this Considereing I have 160k and they have never been cleaned or changed, at least the old lady I bought it form didnt beat on here it was babied to the miliage it has

digging up an old thread, but i am doing this soon and the question asked on page 1 is still unanswered. so i'll ask it again:
do you just let them soak and them spray them off with brake cleaner? what do you soak them in?

thanks,
Matthew

I soaked mine in pure injector cleaner. From the first post in this thread I got the impression that they were soaked in brake cleaner....

I am toying with the idea of starting my own injector cleaning service. It requires no certification that i know of,and the ASNU machine is automatic and very easy to use. the machine does all this

It might be a good way to make extra cash and knowing many in the auto world would be to my advantage. what yall think??

How much will it cost you to get something like that?

I'm not sure. So far i haven't been able to locate a price online.Ill call the distributor as soon as the hour rolls around.They are also available used. This is an area many shops don't get involved in? i cant understand why? could it be that chasing "other" problems is more rewarding? Beats the hell outa me..

My guess is because many online places can get great coverage by shipping the injectors around. Take that mrinjector.us site you referenced in other threads. Injectors are so small, it wouldn't be a problem for me to ship them mine from Canada. And the overall amount of work they do on each injector is great for only 16$ each.

very true. regarding mrinjector,he gave me an 1 extra of everything and on the o-rings a couple more. And $5 bucks from where i am is good. But I bet i could turn a profit servicing them. There are classes to take to teach you everything you need to know,but no certification that i can see.

Whoa! $ 7100 classic & junior 6100
Alot more than i thought. Still interested though

so for the junior you would have to clean 406+ injectors to break even @ 15$ per injector...

YUP! judging by the crooks that run garages here in this town,id have to say that customers wouldn't be hard to convince this service is Smart $s spent

IS there a price for injector removal/cleaning/oring refit that you could charge that lets the garages in town all sublet the injector work to you, at a price good for customers, and you/they still make fair profit? (compared to the in-the-car chemical injection?) Is there a bread-and-butter angle like a military or fleet contract you could get as basic income for the business?

I was thinkin the same thing Albert. I don't know of anybody who has ever come into my shop and asked to have their Injectors removed and cleaned. However, we sell quite a few of the Fuel Injection/Induction services ($100). The system I have is newer than the one in the video I posted. Mine has a dual tank setup. One for the combustion stuff, and one for the intake stuff. Pull the fuel pump fuse or relay, and the car runs off of the cleaner, getting every single Injector clean. robo, you might want to consider something like this system instead of a bench setup.
