JLM Lubricants' Direct Injection Valve Cleaner is a powerful remover of stubborn carbon-based deposits that accumulate within engine combustion chambers and behind valves, especially. This situation is prevalent on direct-injected petrol (GDI) and hybrids, but it also afflicts diesel models, which robs the engine of power, efficiency and reliability.
An unfortunate consequence of relocating fuel injectors from the intake to the combustion chamber is that the inlet valves especially are not kept clean by fresh petrol washing past them. Due to a combination of crankcase ventilation and exhaust gas recirculation deposits, carbon also builds quickly within the air inlet, effectively suffocating the engine. As these carbon deposits experience higher temperatures as they enter the cylinder-head casting, they become baked to the surface, making them especially difficult to remove.
JLM's Direct Injection Valve Cleaner is an essential part of a multi-pronged attack on removing harmful carbon deposits that afflict modern engines. It should be used alongside JLM's GDI Injector cleaner fuel additive (for petrol engines only) and the JLM EGR and air intake cleaner aerosol (both petrol and diesels) for best results.
JLM Lubricants' Direct Injection Valve Cleaner's easy to use aerosol contains dedicated cleaning surfactants to dislodge and remove baked-on carbon more effectively than alternative products that rely on solvents alone. As the cleansing solution passes into the engine, JLM's formulation is also gentler when combusted and is harmless to particulate filters and catalytic converters.
JLM's Direct Injection Valve Cleaner cleans not just the valves but also the complete combustion chamber. The result is enhanced engine efficiency and reduced exhaust emissions, notably carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbons (HC), a benefit of which is improved cold-start performance.
