Carbon Deposits In Petrol Engines

When carbon builds up in the combustion chamber, it can increase the engine’s compression ratio, as well as the risk of hot spots forming. EGR passages and valves become blocked with carbon deposits as well as intake valves and manifolds.

This can damage the engine and cause multiple drivability issues.

The engine not only loses its power, becomes sluggish, and possibly stalls, but also experiences a significant loss in fuel mileage.

Carbon Deposits In Diesel Engines

In compression ignition engines, carbon deposits travel downstream to the DPF filters causing all sorts of after-treatment and performance problems.

These issues will cause loss of power, expensive repairs, and downtime resulting in lost revenues.  A preventative maintenance plan designed specifically for your engine, equipment, and machinery can stave off issues caused by carbon build up in your fleet.

What Causes Carbon Deposits?

• Fuel contaminants
• Excessive load on low revving engines
• Short trips
• Excessive idle time
• Faulty Emission control systems
