Fuel Injector cleaning for better Mileage and Performance

Here is the thing you might be undergoing on your bike/scooter that you might not know or have overlooked. We always want our bike/scooter to perform better, so we regularly fill the gas tank, take it for service after every certain kilometer, replace the worn and snapped parts with the new ones and change its lubricant oil once in a while. But still, sometimes we find our two-wheelers’ in the former state with no improvement in their performance. The performance and longevity of your vehicle also largely depends on its fuel. And if your bike/scooter is engineered with FI technology, with time, the fuel injector can get muddled up with fuel deposits resulting in a sharp decline in your fuel economy. This means your bike/scooter requires a fuel injector cleaning service.

A fuel injector is an advanced pump and valve mechanism that combines fuel and air in the engine through an electronically controlled opening that sprays the fuel into the cylinder. A fuel injector allows the fuel to burn more efficiently. But how do you know whether your fuel injector needs a cleaning service?

Your two-wheelers start sputtering at higher RPM as your bike/scooter ages or have ridden maximum distance. One of the primary reasons for this behavior is due to blockage in your vehicle’s fuel system. Because of this, less fuel will get to the engine, resulting in a sputter, emission of carbonated smoke, pre-ignition sounds, and throttle hesitation, all leading to poor mileage and performance.

How Does a Fuel Injector Service ensure restoring your vehicle’s lost mileage and performance?

Burning fuel leaves carbon deposits over time. These deposits tend to create a layer of build-up on the fuel injectors. A fuel injector cleaning service flushes out all the build-up and cleans the injector. By removing all the build-up of carbon deposits and flushing them out of the fuel system helps restore and maximize:

• Fuel Economy
• Fights rust and corrosion
• Reduces friction and wear
• Improves power and performance
• Fixes hard starts
• Extends engine life

What are the benefits of fuel injector cleaning?

• Improved fuel efficiency and mileage.
• Enhanced engine performance and responsiveness.
• Reduced emissions and smoother engine operation.
• Extended lifespan of the engine and injector system.
