Fuel system cleaner - how Often?

draining the fuel tank once in a while would help too in reducing dirt and water build up in the systemsince some diesels are really dirty and contaminated with water.

hmm.. boss doc!... sayang nde ko nalaman about this carbon clean when i visited the makati shop about a leak in one of my injectors....

my engine is a 1979 3.0L MB diesel engine.... when you say more detergent.. this means one treatment but stronger? o multiple treatment in phases?

One treatment with literally more detergent to consume. You see, when we treat your engine for CarbonClean, the detergent is placed in a container within the machine which will be connected to your fuel input and output or return. More detergent would mean longer running period. For example:

8 oz. of detergent would be consumed in more or less an hour. The more detergent, the longer engine running period. Take note ha, that we need to run your engine while it consumes the solution.

You might wonder, 8 oz. lang? or Bakit ounce ang measurement? A bottle for diesel detergent which is 16oz. is already strong in a sense that it can knock you down.

Doc Diesel,
Where or how do you connect the carbon clean machine on the fuel system?
What effect would your detergent have on the additives/detergents in the engine oil?

for Diesel: going in through the fuel filter or injection pump inlet then out to the return line from the injection pump.

for gasoline: going in through the carburetor / fuel pump then out to the return line of the carburetor or the aluminum manifold for fuel injected.
