How to Deal with Carbon Deposits in Cars?
2 Answers
Methods to deal with carbon deposits in cars include: 1. Intravenous drip cleaning: Hang a bottle-shaped tool above the engine, pour cleaning agent into it, and then introduce the agent into the engine through a tube to clean the carbon deposits; 2. Machine cleaning: Inject cleaning agent into a machine, pressurize it into the combustion chamber, allow the agent to react with and dissolve the carbon deposits, and then extract the waste liquid; 3. Engine disassembly cleaning: Completely remove the entire engine and use cleaning agents or ultrasonic methods to thoroughly eliminate carbon deposits on the parts. Ways to slow down carbon deposit formation include: 1. Avoid driving at low speeds for extended periods; 2. Add fuel additives to the fuel tank; 3. Use high-quality fuel, as the main components of carbon deposits are wax and gum deposits from the fuel, so the lower the gum content in the fuel, the better.
After driving for over a decade, I've gathered considerable experience in dealing with car carbon deposits. Prevention is key. For instance, I regularly take the car on highways to let the engine burn off carbon deposits at high temperatures, avoiding short trips or prolonged idling. I only use high-grade fuel to reduce impurities, as low-quality fuel tends to accumulate grime. If I notice the car losing power or increased fuel consumption, I add some fuel system cleaner to the tank, which works well. For severe carbon buildup, it's necessary to visit a professional shop to dismantle and clean the intake system, or else components could get damaged. Regular maintenance is essential—don't slack off. Replacing the air filter with a better one also helps prevent buildup, saving money and hassle while keeping the car in top condition.
