How to: Homemade fuel injector cleaner

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlO4krw2h8o

There has been a follow up to this video and it is located here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRaoCt....

This project was inspired by another Youtube member. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mnA0c...
I picked up a set of used Blue Max 1650's and wanted to clean them before installation sooooo......... I followed the video in the link with minor adjustments. When using the larger coupler listed in the video, I could not even get the threads to drill out. I had a smaller coupler laying in the garage that worked for my injectors. I also used the drill bit one step above the 27/64 listed in the link. This is 7/16 and just seem to be easier to handle while maintaining a good seal. Another discovery along the way is the size O-rings that you could use for upper seals. If your injectors have good seals, Why chance ripping them. A #11 O-ring serves for a great base O-ring on the top side of the injector. The #78 serves for an outstanding upper O-ring for the upper seals. You will see this demonstrated in the cleaning video. One last VERY IMPORTANT note is YOU MUST USE A AA BATTERY FOR THE SWITCH. I started out using a AAA and had great results on the 950's but the AAA would not open the 1650's under pressure. After adding a AA everything worked perfect.

Cleaning fuel Injectors on the car
This is an amateur demonstration of how i cleaned the fuel injectors on my 5.9 L 1998 Dodge Ram 4X4. The method used was by attaching an OTC 7448 canister to the fuel rail using an adapter fitting, then running OTC Inject-R clean fuel injector cleaner through the fuel rail with the engine running. The procedure was done as outlined in the OTC manual, and the guidelines vary depending on the manufacturer and model.

This demonstration is published in good faith as entertainment, but it is NOT a qualified instructional video. Obviously even a minor error while doing this procedure could have life threatening consequences, with serious risks of fire and vehicle and building damage. So, if you feel you need to clean your fuel injectors, it is highly advisable that you consult a professional. Do not try this at home.
