What Causes Direct Fuel Injectors To Clog?
In the case of a direct fuel injector where the tip is exposed to the combustion event, carbon can stick to the nozzle and cause a bad spray pattern, because carbon searches for other carbon.
In the U.S., the quality of the fuel we put into our vehicles is very high. By the time it travels through the fill neck, it has been filtered twice at the station. Before it gets to the fuel rail, it has been filtered by a sock in the tank and a filter under the car. So why do direct and port fuel injectors still become clogged or have spray pattern problems? The answer involves a little bit of chemistry and a lot of heat.
