Diesel Purge vs. Injector Cleaners Etc.
I've been looking to do a diesel purge and I went to great lengths to get the Lubro-Moly Diesel Purge specifically. When I just went to my local auto store, they had all these injector cleaners and diesel additives. Even Lubro-Moly carries an assortment of these cleaners and additives. What's the honking difference? There are so many...

Diesel purge is good for a better cleaning of carbon on injectors,pistons,valves,prechamber,ect..
Other products reduce the need for a purge.Purge is really needed when burning veggie,or wmo/watf. |
what about prechambers?Lubro is used by Mercedes.My paper work while car was under warenty Lubro was used.

If you use a wire brush or any other mechanical cleaning method, well, congrats, you've just destroyed your injector nozzles. |
I was disappointed that my diesel purge did not become dirty at all :(
I guess that means I have a clean engine, though. I do use Howes Meaner Cleaner in each tank. However, the DP did still make a bit of a difference, despite not returning black. |

My return line durring my purge was mearely amber, with a few particles of soot here and there. It still made a big difference in how my car ran. I ran 2 cans through, then changed my oil to synthetic.
In the olden days I used injector cleaners, cetane improvers, etc. Engine ran better with them too, but my aging injectors soon returned to normal after a few tanks with no additives. Had I had resources like this website, Diesel Giant, etc. I doubt I would have ever sold my 83 300SD. My cousin kept his 81 till one of his sons wrecked it in 2004. But he was much wealthier than I, so never flinched at maintenance costs. Because my engine no longer sounded as smooth as it had, I worried about a major repair breaking the bank. Anyways, after using Lubri-molly purge, I'm a believer. When my mom followed me down to put the car in storage for the winter, about a week ago, she complained that my 240D was too fast! With no visible exhaust. I performed the purge in May and my engine still runs very smooth. |

Anyway, I'm going to do the diesel purge today and report back. We'll see what difference it makes, but I do think I might need new injectors anyway because I have a little bit of nailing that doesn't go away even after warm up. Should I have them rebuilt or just cleaned? |
