Carbon Cleaning

Carbon builds up layer upon layer when fuel combusts in the engine cylinders. This affects the smooth running of the engine and causes many other issues.

Why is carbon harmful to my engine?

Allowing carbon to build-up over time will cause:

• Sluggishness
• Lumpy idle
• Smoking from the exhaust
• Emission levels too high (failed MOT)
• Sticking EGR valves and turbos
• DPF warning light illuminated
• Declining MPG

How it Works

The Engine Carbon Clean system works by using tap water to create hydrogen and oxygen which pass through the air intake of an engine and out through the exhaust system as a gas, helping to remove the excess carbon that leads to poor running issues.

It’s a simple and safe process and requires no dismantling of engine parts or the use of harmful chemical products.

DPF Blockage & Regeneration

Uusally around every 300 miles or so the DPF will regenerate by super-heating the filter to burn off the contaminated particles that collect there as soot and ash. Most of the soot is then expelled through the exhaust as finer particles of harmless ash. However, it has been found that the regeneration process leaves residual ash behind in the filter. Each time a regeneration occurs more particles will build up in the filter.

Over time carbon will block the DPF and cause several issues with your engine.
