Can u put a link for the sea foam canister fuel system cleaning kit!
You guys always got our back, much love to you guys, I appreciate your hard work 🙏🏽💪🏽
If you don't want to go through all this just wait until you are on empty and go dump two cans of seafoam in the tank and go run it like you stole it.
Reading all the comments on this video, most of you should just save up and go see a mechanic, leave your car alone...
On a return line system, you could be venting the cleaner back to the tank if your pressure is too high.
I would think you should use a lower than system pressure. A lot of regulators vary the pressure according to vacuum also. Maybe you should unhook the vac line from the regulator.
👏 best, easy, and safety vay to clean injectors.

I guess have to do this on my 2013 Chevy Tahoe I been having. Misfire on cylinder 5 replace spark plug , switch coils and spark wire still showing misfire probably injector are dirty ..
How often should I clean my injectors?
Thanks for the video. What about a Toyota with no fuel pump relay?
Unplug the pump.
Will buy one of these tools soon!
Which fuel additive is good to clean the fuel injector can it mess up other things with the additives
Great informative professional video! God bless you and thanks for the help!!!
question, who makes that kit? I looked online and couldn't find a seafoam kit? More specifically the canister , hoses and adapters.
This is a pretty awesome video. If you don't appreciate the ingenuity of this - allow me to introduce you to the Ram Promaster 1500, the worst vehicle I have ever owned. It's worse than my 2nd and current wife. Costs a lot of money, never works, and well, I'll leave it to your imagination - I digress. If you have a look at Ram PM 1500 and see what it takes to get to plugs 2,4,6, that alone has turned people off to them. So I am getting a P0305 code -so if any silver lining 1,3,5 are on the easy side of the Ram PM but a P0305 code is pretty generic - it could be a lot of things (plug, ign coil pack, injector, and then we continue on and on) - but I'd sure rather try this ingenious way of cleaning the injectors without having to remove the plenum and look like I'm rebuilding the freaking engine. I mean all of this makes great sense to me and I'll be buying this before a 2700 quote for a very generic code which might just be a plug or a fuel injector issue. I am feeling it is likely an injector issue so as long as I can tick of the easier stuff - this is pretty straightforward and cool - then why not do it? I mean I think this is clever and really easy stuff. I am of the mindset to start with the most logical and simple things and move to the more complicated things. Occam's Razor stuff. Or you can be just like me and jump into the second-worst decision of your life and get a Ram PM for your business. :) Thanks for the awesome video!!!

Are fuel injections additives safe to use ? I heard someone used it and messed up his injectors
Can I use this tool to feed the HP Pump in GDI system???????
I need a replacement hose for the otc 7448 cannister
I put my cleaner in the tank works just fine.
but the mixture won't be the same
Which one
We're can I get that same sea foam canister you have please let me no
Wanting to make one of these myself. Just don’t know what the dropper piece at the top is called. Can you help me out with the name?
is there any kits for compress natural gas injection systems?

Do you guys sell the diagnostic tool and detergent?
Where does all the cleaned carbon and materials goes?
This sounds great and dandy but my only issue is if one of the gaskets on the fuel injectors are broken or frayed this won't replace them and I would want all those gaskets sealing them up perfectly. This won't fix those gaskets if they are working right.
Tony Trilex ,It’s a cheap alternative for engine misfire due to dirty or possibly clogged fuel injectors , “sort of like a solvent for them “
Why isent this in your store when I looked for it?
Is that just regular sea foam cleaner?
It seem an interesting tool and I suppose it could be used with success also on a bench and not only on the vehicle if you have a circuit to drive the injectors. I've just one doubt: why is not dangerous to pressurize with compressed air the canister that contains the injector cleaner liquid (that I suppose is flammabile as gasoline)? It could not explode if accidentally an electrostatic spark could ignite inside?
Perfect 👌

Why not just remove the injectors and clean them individually/separately?
Time consuming, need power source to open the fuel injectors, and could damage it during reinstallation. I just think if this works why go through the trouble?
Now this makes me nervous,if I was to do this i would have to do it in the company of someone that knew how to do it and explain it to me step by step
First he uses the gauge on the cannister/tool-thing he's using to tell how much pressure the car's fuel pump provides to the fuel rail. There's a valve in the fuel rail that will only let the gasoline go one way (as long as the pressure doesn't get too high). When he measured what the car's fuel pump supplied, he got 50 psi. That information will be used in another step.
He then pulls the fuse to disable the fuel pump (which is most likely inside the gas tank). There's a little bit of gasoline left in the fuel system, and when he starts the car, the engine consumes what's left. The engine cannot run now because there's no fuel from the gas tank.
Now he has it set up so the SeaFoam cannister will act like a temporary gas tank. The air hose he hooked up will act as a fuel pump by using air pressure to push the cleaner out of the cannister. Remember, the fuel pump in the gas tank supplies gasoline to the fuel rail at 50 psi. So he decides to set the air pressure of the cannister at 45 psi. That way the pressure is close enough to work correctly, but it won't risk over-pressurizing the fuel rail. (If that happens, as he says in the video, some of the cleaner may go backwards into the gas tank.)
So instead of supplying gasoline to the fuel injectors, this temporary fuel system is supplying a cleaner. The fuel injectors use this cleaner instead of gasoline and the engine can (usually) burn the cleaner. (The cleaner is more than likely a petroleum-based solvent.)
This long message may be helpful to you, and it was very helpful to me to write it out and further understand the process myself!
How come I don't see people telling you to change your fuel filter Before cleaning the injectors?
Because maybe they own Ram Promasters and are stupid like me :) they don't have one - it took me 45 min to find out they don't have manf. serviceable fuel filters. Biggest piece of junk vehicle I've owned. Good question!! maybe seriously that was another video or like me you suspect your fuel injectors fuel need cleaning
So where do I get this kit?
I just got mine from summit racing
How come everytime I watch one of your videos and click on your link you don't have the part no more. Frustratiing.

👍👍👍
HEY IF THE FUEL INJECTORS ARE BAD WILL IT GIVE YOU A CODE.
You could get a multiple random misfire code or a code saying your car is running too lean. But misfires could also be caused by spark plugs and bad fuel pump, air intake leak, etc.
Not necessarily specific to the fuel injector P0305 code on my POS Ram Promaster 1500 -worst decision of my life other than my 2nd and current wife it may be a whole bunch of things bad plug, bad coil, bad compression, bad injector and on and on and on.Def agree with Mr. Hawk.
Instead of doing all this simply put injector cleaner in fuel filter tank and start the car , injector will cleaned.
Why did you run the car off the can without pressure at first?
Doesn’t the system need pressure to run?
And how did the car start with the fuel pump fuse pulled .. did he run a gas mix with the cleaner and shop vac to push it true
@@nuttynut54 flubber
the injector cleaner is 50/50 gas mix

+Dave Sogn What is the question?
Where to buy the fuel injector cleaner tool?
Right !
From 1A Auto I presume
OTC Tools 7448A fuel injector cleaner canister on Amazon
Beware it comes with a shit ton of parts. Its like getting a lego set with no direction's and you have to build a death star.
Also do it right or you will be buying a catalytic converter.
Ok good video, but still a risk your taking on cleaning the injectors directly into the the engine.All vehicles are different,you don't want to damage any parts or costing any harm to the fuel, or engine system.It can be a total nightmare for the customer and the mechanic.So i suggested it's best to take the injectors out and properly service them with the tool and reinstall them manually.
Who cares if a little cleaner goes in the tank?
"Lack of power. The throttle response isn't really there" nothing like some intangible things to start a video about nothing definitive, that might do something or not, but for sure cost you money.
If you like that vagueness, try owning a Ram Promaster 1500 - it should be on that show 'Engineering Disasters' just unbelievable - everything about it - I had my van at 80k mi in dealer for 6 weeks. Just the worst vehicle ever. And hey if you want to spend money - that's the vehicle for you :) - I'm having a laugh with you not at you - and I'm trying to laugh at my poor decision in vehicle ownership After this I should be required to go to a remediation class for buying a vehicle you use and depend on to earn a living.
I get it haha
Although I don't own one, I work at a dealership, and you are right about those promasters. They live in the shop. Coming back over and over for different things.
