fuel problems

Yes. Many times. On customer's cars. When a car sits too long, the fuel injectors go bad due to the gas evaporating and leaving gums and varnish to plug them up.

We've tried, with limited success, to clean them with strong fuel additives, BG 44k. It only works on injectors that are slightly plugged, or slightly sticking open.

We end up just replacing the injectors, ALL of them at once, to solve the problem.

As a shop, we only use new injectors. Never Pythons.
