Fuel Injector, Tank Cleaning & brake fluid flush

silverGPX · Post by **silverGPX** » Sun Jun 03, 2012 12:19 pm

Is it worth getting my fuel injectors professionally cleaned?

Also im thinking of removing the fuel tank and replacing the fuel pump,

Is the fuel tank hard to remove?

Also what would i use to clean the inside of the tank?

Also im up for 4 new pads and rotors and want the best braking i can get.

Whats the best way to get all the fluid out of the lines?

Is it worth getting my fuel injectors professionally cleaned? It wouldn't hurt, but I believe it's not too cheap, be a bit cheaper if you take out the injectors yourself and take them in.
Also im thinking of removing the fuel tank and replacing the fuel pump,

Is the fuel tank hard to remove? Yes, I would be taking the pump out via the port under your rear seat, reaching into this open port to clean the tank, will be easier if you have some kind of fluid pump to pump out old petrol and used metho.
Also what would i use to clean the inside of the tank? methylated spirits or clean petrol

Also im up for 4 new pads and rotors and want the best braking i can get. Do this first before bleeding.

Whats the best way to get all the fluid out of the lines? Bleed the brakes, you can buy bleeding kits or you can use a piece of small diameter hose, a jar and a mate, here is the basics.....
You have to keep the brake reservoir full of clean fluid during this process, don't let it go below the "MIN" mark. There is a bleed nipple on each caliper, the idea is to have a mate press down on the brake pedal as you slightly loosen the nipple, with a suitable hose pressed onto the nipple diverting the expelling old fluid into a container, you will then tighten the nipple before your mate releases the pedal, after tightening the nipple back up your mate will release the pedal then repeat over and over until the fluid comes out clean and bubble free. You need to do this on each caliper in this order RL-FR-RR-FL. when done pump up the brakes and check fluid level. You will be yelling to your mate "Pump-Release-Pump-Release-Pump-Release.........."

Interesting question about the injector clean. Who's done it and what was a flow before the clean?

I've seen the before and after results of an injector clean first hand and the improvement is remarkable sometimes! Off car injector clean that is.

May do it and tell you guys the results, don't cost me much to do!

Caliper furthest away from reservoir should be bleed first. So RL, RR, FL, FR

The FTO has a diagonal split brake system as shown in the picture. The bleed procedure I mentioned is correct for this system.
