You should soak them in gas for 12-24 hours, gas dissipates fast when taken out so no left over fluid is in your sensor, gas also eats away carbon deposits

Soaking them in gasoline will work, however there are less stinking alternatives, such as throttle body cleaner which, just like gasoline will vaporize quickly but without leaving residue behind. B12 (the fuel additive, not the vitamin) in the pour bottle, not the aerosol bottle, offers the least mess. You’re able to soak it in there and it’ll dissipate all of the carbon.

Ultrasonic cleaners are used in many industries. I've used them to clean up jet engine igniters in the aviation world as long as the engine manufacturer specifications has a call-out stating that it is permitted to use them as an acceptable method of cleaning. As long as no moisture is allowed to get into the electric internals, ultrasonic cleaners are an effective, inexpensive method for extending the service life of certain components.

You can test this method by soaking an exhaust valve with carbon buildup in water and see what happens to the carbon, Nothing! carbon is a deposit from unburned hydrocarbons, it is not water soluble. Heat is the only way to clean and the cat converter is not running hot enough to burn off the carbon. In the lab we tested the functionality at 1100ºC for durability. Water is not the way to go.

the fingers of your left hand appear to be whitened !! : D: D But the sensor was amazingly beautiful, shining like a black hole: D
