The Wrong Technology
Recently, my work-shop invested in a hydrogen engine cleaning solution – Hy-Carbon – from a French headquartered company, FlexFuel. A relatively new entrant to the UK, but with 1500 garages in France using Hy-Carbon, I was confident in investing. So, how does Hy-Carbon work?
All modern petrol engines use direct fuel injectors. They produce more BRAKE HORSE POWER from the same size engines, and go further on the petrol we put in the tank.
The new type of direct fuel injectors spray directly into the combustion chamber, and after the initial explosion.. they spray a bit more fuel to power the piston downwards prolonging the explosion, providing a more efficient combustion. But, there is a price to pay. The modern engine works very well for a short time before clogging up the valve stems in the valve chamber with caron deposits. When this happens, the engine loses power and efficiency as the valve stems are prevented from moving fluidly. […]
There is, of course a plethora of solutions on the market to address these issues and I have tried many, with various levels of success.
