Professional carbon clean service for petrol & diesel engines In Canberra
Older petrol engines relied on fuel injectors to spray fuel into the air intake manifold, where the air and fuel would mix. This mixture then moved through the engine cylinders at timed intervals and to the spark plugs, igniting and booming. It was a highly inefficient process that resulted in poor mileage and wasted fuel. However, due to the fuel injectors normally sitting on top of the valves, they don’t get the carbon deposit build-up that often because the valves get washed by injectors, which means they don’t need the carbon clean service as much as the newer ones.
So why do late-model engines often need carbon clean service
Newer vehicles have direct-injection engines. In these engines, fuel is transferred directly to the combustion chamber, skipping the air intake manifold and cylinder changes. This process creates a ‘lean’ mixture of fuel and air. The leaner mixture of fuel and air burns better and more efficiently. The combustion chamber uses higher levels of heat than in a traditional gasoline engine, so it burns fuel better, resulting in more mileage per gallon and reduced fuel emissions.
What is Engine Carbon Clean
- Petrol engines – Advanced Mobile Mechanics offers carbon-clean service on petrol & diesel engines. But how does it happen? Carbon buildup occurs as the fuel burns in your car. Like a log burning in a fire deposits soot and grime on the inside of a chimney, carbon deposits will begin forming in your new engine. This problem occurs mainly in more modern cars with engines from 2012 to now. Why is this happening? Aren’t these cars supposed to last longer? Carbon build-up is occurring because of a new engine technology, referred to as direct-injection technology. At Advanced Mobile AutoCare, our mobiles can do a carbon-clean service at your place or at work to ensure that your engine stays healthy at all times. The carbon build-up problem occurs because of the high efficiency of the direct injection engine. High combustion pressure in a direct injection engine causes the build-up of intake values and other engine parts. The fuel and the detergents in it bypass the valve and don’t clean it off like in a traditional gas engine, which compounds the problem.
- Diesel Engines – Carbon deposit buildup on diesel engine components such as piston heads, fuel injectors, and intake valves is a bigger problem than that of petrol engines. There is a federal requirement that certain detergents be added to gasoline at the refinery, but there is no such mandate for adding detergents to diesel fuel. For this and many other reasons, diesel engines are more susceptible to carbon deposit buildup. Most of the blame, however, has been assigned to the fact that the fuel spray from a diesel injector goes directly into the cylinder bypassing, for example, the back of the intake valve where deposits are likely to form. The increasing use of high-pressure common rail fuel systems has also increased engine deposits. Other reasons for diesel engine carbon deposits are low-quality fuel, short cold weather trips, excessive idling, infrequent oil changes and even dirty air filters. Once carbon buildup accumulates on various surfaces inside the engine and is left untreated, the vehicle loses power, becomes sluggish causes a significant increase in emissions and reduces fuel economy.
Why is essential to clean the carbon off engines
Our mobile mechanics have dealt with daily engine issues caused by carbon deposits, particularly diesel and late-model direct-injected petrol engines(VW, etc.). Too much carbon inside your engine could cause problems:
- Poor performance, loss of power
- Black smoke from the exhaust
- No start
- The engine takes longer to start
- Cause oil leaks
- Bad fuel economy
- Running rough
- Reduce longevity on certain parts (intercooler hoses etc)
- Engine stalling
Instead of using DIY applications to clean the air intake throttle, which only cleans the first entrance of the air path where the aerosol can reach, advanced mobile mechanics can offer a professional-grade carbon clean service. This service uses a pressurised system to clean the entire intake system (from the throttle body to the combustion chambers).
