In this video I test Royal Purple Max Clean Fuel System Cleaner in a Ford Explorer. I use a borescope camera to look into the engine and see how dirty the engine is before the fuel treatment and then after the fuel treatment. This is the first time I looked at intake runners and valves, and I also looked at the piston head.
I followed the instructions on the container and Royal Purple did clean some carbon off the intake runners, valves, and piston heads. This is the best in fuel system cleaner I have used that goes in the gas (so far)
Here is the fuel cleaner I used: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B1VBQRS/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00B1VBQRS&linkCode=as2&tag=chri0e2-20&linkId=FQMBFE4BPRUPHOAU

Does you think it would have worked better with a full take of gasoline
Seafoam garbage. So is Royal purple. The seafoam is meant for 2-stroke engines, you know, like engines for say your boat or your lawn mower. If you want something that's going to do a really good job cleaning out your carbon from your engine, I highly recommend ATS chemicals fuel system and oil system treatment kit
Good video 👍✨✨ but you shouldn't have put more gas in in after the cleaner I think you watered down your results
Add Yamalube feeling injection cleaner it’s made for Marina application, but the engines and engine works very good
what if we applied the cleaner more than one time, i think it will clean it very well after few times
i bet after 3 uses you'd see a huge difference
Look for cleaner additives with the most BPE in it. BPE is what does the cleaning. Seafoam does not contain BPE but made from petroleum rather than cleaning detergents but does work. Redline, techron, max clean all are cleaning additives with concentrated BPE
cries in GDI
why do you have 10 million subscribers? you are terrible.
Would love to see gas mileage before and after
It's best to do more than one cycle of the cleaning to see if it really works.
Would it be safe for a 2020 ford explorer with 55k miles?? Thanks
Can you test Dura Lube?
Sea foam is not recommended for ethinal based gasoline it’s for diesel and out board
Your cleaning a clean engine
They were not bad enough to test they get way worse before you need a cleaner bad test
Never run tank below 1/4 it overheats the fuel pump
That car does not need a cleaner
Is it wise to loosen debris that could make its way into the engine? Wouldn't it be better to let carbon build-up stay where it is?
Whenever I put this stuff in my car it does improve the gas mileage for a tank or two (based on the car's sensor) then it goes back to normal. I just put the cheap stuff in semi-annually.
That being said my car has 225kms on it and she still purrs like she is brand new and I do push the RPMs to 7k regularly enough…
NO Redline vireo?
Now I'm not your mechanic, but if I were and you said you think just tossing one dose of anything into a carbon fouled engine is going to help very much I'd tell you you're wrong and you'd probably do it anyway. One dose isn't going to do squat, this is the kind of thing you have to use regularly to get any effect from, and while I have no doubt it's effective at some level used as a maintenance routine the real question is does the effect justify the cost, is the squeeze worth the juice. This stuff goes for $12 for 20 oz, I drive 3 hours a day 3 days a week to work, if I put this in every fill-up that's $24 a week, $1,248 a year. If I just use it on oil changes I changed my oil 5 times last year, that's $60 a year. Will using this every fill-up make my car last enough longer and get enough better gas mileage that it's worth $1,248 a year? I'm going to lay out an unscientific guess and say that's not likely. Will my engine lifetime and gas savings be worth $60 a year? I'm guessing at best there is a possibility there could be value there but at best the value would be nominal to minimal even on a single year basis, as in 10 years after you bought your car and put a bottle of this in every oil change you saved $65 this year in gas over what it would have cost you if you hadn't spent $600 over the last 10 years putting this in your gas.
Pro tip: add a quart of used cooking oil to your gasoline once per month. The dirtier, the better. Helps get rid of pesky warranties.
What's happening when you hear rattling in the tank and vibration? I have GMC Sierra 2014 . I want to do everything I can before I commit to putting it in the shop, I'm on a budget
I used the royal purple along with the seafoam concentrated that looks like the lucas one worked extremely well I dumped both in at the same time then filled up the tank idle smooth acceleration most definitely improved almost instantly and by the way my vehicle is an 04 explorer with the 4.0 v6 engine
PEA isn’t a magic chemical. You just don’t understand how it works. You need to read up on it. Then you would know a maintenance dose is best backed by heavy/higher rpm freeway driving. REDLINE contains more PEA. Sea foam has none!
what about the walmart one supertech?
I think an injector spray test would be more useful than a deposits condition. That affects power and efficiency more than deposits. Looks like it just moved valve carbon onto the piston.
The only cleaner I actually saw overnight results with was Diesel Purge on a near empty tank. ( ie full strength ). The smoke cloud it made was proof of carbon removal!
i think if you did 1 more treatment it would’ve got all that stuff out completely
It would be interesting to see what a few tanks of treated fuel would do.
Please try vp race fuel cleaner id love to see that its what i usually use
Well it clean EGR valve
have you done the test with water yet ?
do you think you can use this in the same way you used Seafoam in the lawn mower? meaning…. in a lawn mower?
Obv not a GDI engine…..
Had a bad miss a few days ago (P0302 on cyl 2) on my ‘01 250 5.4 v8 and was 50 miles from home. It was over 100 degrees in So Texas so I knew if we broke down in that heat we would be in trouble. Bought 2 cans of VP Madditive 7 in 1 for $32. Poured in both cans and headed home on the highway. Kept it in 2nd and not d 50 mph as you felt the miss less. Made it home checked the codes and got the P0302. Next day I took truck for a ride to run all the gas out that had the additive. Did not feel the miss. Checked and no codes.Bought another can VP Madditive and will be adding it to next tank. Will post an update in a week.
You should do a test with liqui moly . I've had noticeable improvements with it and the royal puprlem but the liqui more so
have you tried liqui moly fuel injector cleaner?
So moral of the story is run coolant through your intake to get a cleaner engine! 😂
🐍 🛢
You’re driving me nuts.
Put the Befire BEFORE the AFTER!
Ive never bought anything other than royal purple for 15 years there products and oil is really worth it. Everytime i come on this channel this man is taking it to then next level of helping out the community. Chris you Channel really does give me hope for automotive industry as far as when it comes to moral and ethics. So many bad 🍎 have permanently engraved an ideology or belief on mechanics or automotive industry that will take decades to even change a little. Keep it up bro!👊👏
It be cleary to see the diferrences if have it the same color image before and after.
