Fuel Injector Cleaning
and Balancing
Please
check our FAQ section for more info at the bottom of this page.
We have recently added a site
dedicated to the Injector cleaning portion of KGParts to answer the demand of
our customers.
Please follow some of the links provided here.
Sending your
injectors in for service Here you will be able to track
your injectors at any time of the day as well as be updated on the progress
Knowledge
Base At this link you can find lots of useful info
including Lag Time, General fuel related info, Flow rates, explanation of
resistors, and lots more!
There is a lot of other useful
info and rare parts available in our "Out Patient" section.
Bellow is what is involved with cleaning an balancing
a set of injectors.
We ONLY use New Age Test equipment for superior, repeatable results!!
| Here at KGParts we have a state of the art Fuel Injector
Flow Bench for testing and balancing fuel injectors. |
 |
Each injector is put on the flow bench and tests are
performed on the injectors in the state they were sent in. Many times
the results are not ideal. Customers are surprised at the current state
of their fuel injectors before KGParts cleans and balances these
injectors.
|
 |
| Once the initial tests have been performed, all data is
collected and each injector is labeled and numbered. Old parts are
removed from the injector and the injector is sent off for cleaning. All data that has been collected is keyed into the
program. |
 |
| The first step is to blast off all external contaminants
from the injector. This is done in a blast cabinet with a fine grit
media and can only be done to injectors with a metal body. This
pre-cleaning step is not possible for side feed injectors. In cases
where we can not externally blast, a completely separate ultrasonic bath
is used before it is internally cleaned. |
 |
| Once all initial data is collected and the pre-cleaning
is complete, the fuel injectors
are sent to an ultrasonic bath where the injectors are cleaned inside
and out while receiving an electrical signal to open it for internal
cleaning. |
 |
| After the ultrasonic bath, the fuel injectors go through
a process called back flowing. In this step, the injector is put under
pressure and all cleaning fluids and debris from inside the injector is
back flowed through the injector to not damage the pintle or discs. |
 |
| Once an injector has been flushed, new components are
installed and the injector is ready for retesting. (**Unfortunatly not
every injector on the market has an aftermarket pintle cap available. We
are able to match something close on most injectors, but not all
injectors.) |
|
| After the new components are installed, the injector is
sent back to the flow bench to test the results of the cleaning process.
If results are not ideal, the injector will repeat the cleaning process.
|
 |
| Once the injectors have been balanced, the old
components are collected, bagged, and returned to the customer. Injectors
are filled with a solution to keep them lubricated. This solution is
installed to prevent any long term storage damage that can be caused if
this is not done. This step ensures that your returned injectors operate
just as they did when they left the lab here at KGParts. |
 |
| Each test is printed out and mailed back to the
customer. A .pdf file can also be emailed at the customer's request. All
data sheets are saved at KGParts for 1 year for the customer's benefit.
If you happen to misplace your data sheet you can always
email us and request a copy for your use. Clicking the example box
on the right will give you an idea of what the data sheet will look like
for the service performed on your injectors. |
