I would like restore my injectors even though they seem to be fine, just looking to improve fuel econ. I dont want to buy new ones so I was thinking of cleaning or rebuilding them. Has anyone done this yet. Any advice? |

Although there are probably better solvents for injector cleaning, I have always had excellent success with Seafoam injector cleaner. Some are of the opinion that the isopropyl alcohol in it is harmful to a diesel engine, but I am not aware of any example of an engine being harmed by it. |

I don't think they're like the old mechanical ones that can be taken apart and I know they are very expensive  First I would accuratly track my fuel useage over several tankfulls and compare your numbers to other members numbers and see if anything could be gained

If you have no reason to believe that the injectors are dirty, it is highly unlikely that they are. So far no one has reported any tendency for the Bocsh injectors to coke or fail.
