Question
What causes diesel fuel injector nozzle "carbon buildup"?
Answer
Low-quality fuel and incomplete combustion.
Explain
Carbon buildup on nozzles disrupts fuel spray. CHEPQ recommends using high-detergent diesel fuel and performing regular injector cleaning—ultrasonic cleaning of nozzles removes carbon deposits, restoring proper fuel atomization.
