In layman’s terms a fuel injector is a nozzle that has fuel forced through it, producing a fine spray pattern for use in the engine. Unfortunately fuel injectors can become clogged with fuel residues created by the evaporation of fuel in the injector nozzle when the engine is stopped. The build-up is described like a hard varnish and the more frequently the engine stops, the quicker the build-up accumulates. Eventually the accumulation disrupts the spray pattern, causing the engine to run lean, and ultimately block the injectors. Initial signs of blockage are, drivability problems like engine misfires, flat spots and hesitations.

Now, it’s true that many fuels can contain detergents that are supposed to clean fuel systems and injectors, but there is a limit to what they can do. Many mechanical workshops recommend using injector cleaner / fuel additives. Not only for their cleaning benefit in a preventive manner, but for some of their other great features like reducing fuel consumption and increased horsepower.

There is a lot of debate in the industry to whether DIY Injector Cleaners really work, and sometimes the only measure will be that you think the car goes better. Pro-ma Fuel Additives are scientifically proven to work with certified testing completed in Australia.
