These are not difficult vans to fix in fact from where i sit they are very easy to repair! Rather the van needs live data interrogation by someone who has a scanner and ability to read the data, In any case from your post testimony you have an electronic control problem and you are throwing parts at it! This additive is a clutching at straws remedy, the outcome will not be what you are hoping for You can wash out harmful contaminents/carbon into the oil causing filter overload! Now you have to be careful using additives! Likewise the injector on the later sprinter are Piezo style and work much differently than the HEUI injector. The injectors in TIN engines are ball and seat style injectors notorious for poor control caused in the main by poor fuel filtration and water ingress.
Rather in big truck diesel engines! Older 7-3 Ford /International 444 truck engines! Yes i suppose it might have some benefit cleaning out HUEI injectors and to understand that you need to understand how these injectors work!īut that stated these injectors are old,hat and NOT found on Sprinters. Now this magic yum yum Stiction eliiminator!!! Just trying to bring this old van back to life.īG244 is for diesel engine as is its successor BG245. Note: In no way am I claiming to be an expert or a mechanic. After my talk with the rep I thought about it and I decided to give this product a chance to live up to all the hype. If I go over 1,000 miles and it is still smoking, I'm going to drain the oil and replace it. Vic, thanks for the advice about going back to just oil for the baseline. BrokeCanadian, my brother uses power service in his dodge diesel, but I think it is designed specifically for the Cummins diesel. Sometimes the gunk buildup can create a seal where otherwise there would be a leak.
The one thing that I was worried about with these treatments is the seals that were actually created though gunk. Thanks for the advice about cleaning the oil pan (Bill). Who knows? Will it do more damage? We will see. Maybe, some of you are right about the snake oil. Who knows, maybe this stuff is paint thiner or something with a fancy label. It's cheaper than spending $350 per injector and I'll save a little with the improved gas milage.
#Hot shots oil gas plus
Why not! It was $50 for 2 treatments plus $15 for the gas additive. I've never used a diesel additive, but decided to give it a try. The specialist said that it was originally designed for Ford injectors, but it has been modified since to work with all diesel vehicles including Sprinters. I talked with a diesel guy and his brother and they swore by it. So, you have to use both together! The reason I bought this stuff is that is has 146 reviews on Amazon and received 4 out of 5 stars. Otherwise, the Stiction Eliminator will put gunk all over the other side of the injector. Apparently, both products should be used in conjunction with one another, because the Stiction Eliminator will clean one side of the injector through the oil and the Extreme Diesel will clean the other side of the injector through the gas. There is enough in the bottle to use for 80 gallons of gas. Plus, it's $45! I decided to stick with the Hot Shot brand Extreme Diesel gas additive. It might be hard to find in America since it is an Irish company. I went to 3 different auto stores looking for the BG 244 gas additive you guys recommended and found I would have to order it from Amazon. Secondly, he recommended that I use a gasoline additive. And, not to worry it is just cleaning out the system and will not harm the van. The specialist recommended that I really give the van lots of gas during acceleration to blast out all the soot. (I did not know that the limp mode would take so long to fix). So, I was probably causing more build up. I think I've put about 500 miles on the van, but 400 were troubleshooting limp mode. If the engine is pretty dirty it should smoke for about about 500 miles and then between 500 and 1,000 miles it should start to clear up. I called Hot Shot's customer help and talked to them about the black smoke.
