On car Fuel Injector Cleaning
Now that it's getting close to camping season it's time to do some maintenance on our total vehicle which in this case is a 95 f150 with a 5.0 liter engine or commonly referred to as a 302. I had removed the throttle body and idle air control valve and EGR
valve and cleaned it from all the build up of gunk from oil that had coated all the surfaces inside the intake area that has accumulated over the last 40,000 miles or so. this maintenance that I show is more along the lines of fabricating a tool needed for cleaning the fuel injectors without disassembly of any components. What I did is used a galvanized pipe with the correct N to make up a canister that I could use my air compressor and force fuel injector cleaner through the Schrader valve on the fuel rail and through the fuel injectors. this allows me to run the engine on the chemical that did
the cleaning when mixed with a little bit of gas. the fuel injector kits that they sell that does the same thing run about a hundred and fifteen to $350. I have a total of about 57 dollars in the entire cleaning process and that includes two cans of the chemical
cleaner that I used to run through the system. although I use this on a ford truck it could be used on quite a few different vehicles as long as there is a Schrader valve that allows access to the fuel rail and hook up of this kit that I made. I hope you enjoy and thanks for watching.

Made one just like it. I had the same issue as you, couldn't find a Schrader terminated hose. I'm an HVAC guy by trade, realized I had the perfect solution hanging right in front of me, a refrigerant manifold hose. I have lots of older ones. Sacrificed one for my cause and was able to adapt it to my pipe "reservoir". Worked fine. Really needed this setup not just for cleaning injectors, but for moving a minivan with a bad fuel pump. Works great for both uses and saves money over buying the OTC tools one!

Fireship1 good idea... I'm pretty sure that I have one lying around too..
Nice Foxboss, Wish I had found your video before I sent for a cleaning unit. I made something similar to fill with TPMS devices (what a stupid invention) still working on that one. Anyway what I'd like to add that might help some Ford owners is : On the 06 Explorer 4.0 you have to disconnect the emergency fuel cut-off switch located in the passenger front side panel. I found that removing the fuse or fuel relay will also disable power to the injectors, the engine won't turn over.
Thank you for the information, I got a Bell reducer for my setup on the pipe , it has a low place where you put your fittings and it eliminates the need for grinding the notches in the fitting, not knocking your video it's great and got me headed in the right direction us Horrodders have to stick together. Thanks Again
I did this, but I used the gauge, as well as the hose from my fuel pressure tester so I could monitor the pressure at the unit. It was about 10 lbs less at the canister than at the regulator. The only problem was finding a tap for 1/8" npt. I had to buy a whole set from O'Reilly's. I also used Teflon tape on the end caps to keep it from leaking.

Why are you doing this, are you DUMB?? Your car has a pump to pressureze use it, and you can drop the cleaner inside your tank, use it. I thing your problem is your brain.use it too.. Rusky.
You have to use a pipe thread tap for the fitting. It’s got a tapered thread.
Thanks for the inspiration!
Very good idea....your like me why buy something your going to use once in your life time unless it's some very special tooling. I'm brain storming the very same idea with the 2 inch pipe also. Teflon pipe tape at both ends and gauges. ....now I know it will work. Get ready Windstar your in for a kick ass clean up. lol

those air fittings a 1/4 pipe thread, so you need a 1/4" NPT tap for the threads. Also harbor freight has cheap air regulators to adjust pressure with a gauge for less than $10.
Thanx
Great!!!!! very helpful.
What is the Fuel to Berryman ratio to use

1 part cleaner to 2 parts fuel, or 1/3 the canister full with cleaner and 2/3 fuel.

So you hooked that to the shraedder valve?
Sweet
What if car won't start at all will this work
Hello. Which air compressor do you use ?
another guy on youtube shows how you can replace the compressor with a pressurized can of injector cleaner, will provide enough pressure to do this.
I would buy the bg brand fuel injector cleaner which goes into that small tank and the other can that comes with it goes in the gas tank but thats pretty cool how u just made it lol

So where did you end up finding the Schrader valve?

The car has been sitting for a while I was able to keep it on but it was because I was spraying starter fluid in the intake.
I'm curious about what Brand of Shocks you have on your F 250 thank you for the information

feeding the cleaner in using Low air pressure ensures the engine uses all that it can as to stay running. To be extra sure you can pull vacuum line off the pressure regulator as to default to maximum feed pressure to injectors..

Stay a couple lbs under running pressure on your vehicle... If for example your vehicle runs at 55psi, set your pressure for 52-53 psi and it will not return any of the product to the tank...
is the air fitting a 1/4" npt barb?

mark reeves you can buy the size you need for whatever size hose you are using.. 1/4, 5/16, 3/8 etc.. Just make sure to buy/have the same size hose as well..

Most likely, as long as it can maintain about 35-45 lbs of pressure(no more though)It should work fine.
