Hydrocarbon Internal engine cleaning is a process that involves using a specialized machine – in our case the FlexFuel® Hy-Carbon Connect. This machine is connected to your vehicle’s diagnostic port to scan for the presence of soot and carbon deposits in your engine. Hydrogen gas is then injected into the engine’s intake system, reacts with the carbon build-up, breaks it down and turns it into harmless gases which can be naturally evacuated with the exhaust gases into a special filter. No chemical or corrosive products are used in the cleaning of the engine. We offer this highly efficient clean, green hydrocarbon engine cleaning service at our workshop in Faringdon in the SN7 postcode district.
Hydrocarbon engine cleaning is important because it can improve engine performance, increase fuel efficiency, and reduce harmful emissions. It can also help to extend the lifespan of the engine and reduce the likelihood of costly repairs caused by a carbon-clogged engine.
Hydrocarbon engine cleaning is different from other engine cleaning methods because it uses hydrogen gas to break down carbon build-up inside the engine, rather than relying on harsh chemicals or high-pressure water. This makes it a more environmentally friendly and gentle cleaning method that can be safely used on a wide range of engines.
Yes, hydrocarbon engine cleaning is safe for your car or van when performed by experienced professionals – in fact there are only benefits, and no disadvantages. As a certified and equipped FlexFuel venue our technicians are trained to carefully introduce the hydrogen gas into the engine and monitor the cleaning process to ensure that no damage is done to your vehicle.
The time it takes to clean a car or van engine using the hydrocarbon method will depend on the specific vehicle and the extent of the cleaning required. In most cases, engine cleaning can be completed in a few hours, but we will provide you with a more accurate estimate when you book your appointment.
Carbon deposits build up in your engine constantly, so it is recommended that you have your engine cleaned using the hydrocarbon method at least every 18,000 miles, or more frequently if you notice any performance issues. Our technicians can recommend the best cleaning schedule for your specific vehicle.
