Petrol or unleaded into a diesel car

Petrol or unleaded contains Benzine which attacks and destroys cardboard filters, so it is imperative that your filter be changed post wrong fuelling, preferably after refilling your tank completely twice, this will allow for any residue to have been removed from the system through dilution.

You may find that your car runs slightly better if it is an older model, the reason being that the Benzine has partially removed a natural build up of varnish/carbon on the injectors.  This is a temporary effect only as the Benzine has scarred the injectors minutely allowing carbon to attach to these cavities.  Once carbon attaches to the injectors this will attract more and very soon your engine will become inefficient and not combust correctly.  This will cause poor starting, harsh idle, power loss and less mpg.  It will also create higher emission levels which will effect your health and M.O.T. status.  Terraclean will completely remove all varnish and carbon deposits from the injectors.

Diesel into an unleaded or petrol car

Diesel contains oil, which if combusted incorrectly creates carbon from the burn and will allow carbon build-up throughout your engine and causing extra load on the catalytic converter through a build-up of unspent fuel and carbon.  This will cause poor performance, pre-ignition which can blow pistons and valves, poor starting abilities and an increase in emission levels effecting your health and M.O.T. status.

Terraclean procedure

Terraclean is a procedure which removes carbon deposits from the injectors through to the tip of the exhaust including the C.A.T. These carbon deposits have a negative effect on efficiency which Terraclean will restore.

Once restored, this will:

• Restore fuel economy – some owners have experienced up to 6 mpg greater
• Regain vehicle performance – the car will be more responsive, some cars have gained an extra 5 BHP
• Smooth idle by increasing lambda efficiency
• Quieter running
• Saves on costly repairs by prolonging component life
• Gives immediate drive away difference
• Gives better cold starting
• Less smoke from the exhaust.

How does all this happen?

This is not a product which we just put into your fuel tank and hopes that it makes a difference; this is a complete service for the inside of your engine. We disconnect your fuel supply and hook ours up to the engine and then run it on our fuel supply which is highly refined fuel, this attacks the carbon build up, eliminating it. The procedure takes about an hour and we come to you.

We have completely separate systems for petrol and diesel engines.

Petrol Fuel based cleaning which cleans from and including your injectors (injection engines) to your catalytic convertor and O2 sensors will restore economy, increase performance and lower emissions.

Diesel Fuel based cleaning which cleans from your pump & injectors into your combustion chamber and also passively cleans the EGR valve, Turbo.

Benefits of Terraclean on your engine

The side effect of burning carbon based fossil fuels in your engine is carbon builds up inside affecting your engine performance.

Injectors

Dirty injectors can’t atomise the fuel finely enough for a good clean combustion and dispels unburnt fuel out through the exhaust and burns inside the catalytic converter, shortening the life and increasing higher hydrocarbon emission levels.
Terracleaning fuel injectors will remove the varnish and carbon from the injector tips and intake valves allowing for a good clean combustion, reducing octane requirement and improving idle and drive-ability.

Oxygen sensors

Terraclean will remove the carbon build-up on the O2 sensors. These sensors send information to the ECU which controls fuel mixture, air flow rate. Dirty sensors will give wrong information to the ECU and unnecessarily alter settings which will give poor performance, poor fuel economy and excess pollution. Terraclean will remove varnish and carbon from the sensors thereby increasing restoring fuel economy and regaining performance.

Proper vehicle maintenance should never be overlooked. De-carbonisation can increase fuel economy by 4-15% however fixing a faulty sensor may increase as much as 40%.
Catalytic converter.

The Terraclean procedure will clean the combustion areas, valves and injectors thereby ensuring an efficient combustion, ensuring that all fuel is burnt and not wasting it into the Catalytic converter. This will decrease the load on the converter and prolong its life.
