How often should I change carburettor cleaning fluid?

Cleaning fluid can be used many times, but change whenever it becomes visibly too contaminated, or when the cleaning process is not as effective when it was new. If you can't see the bottom of the tank, it's probably time to change the fluid.

How do I dispose of ultrasonic carburetor cleaning fluid?

We offer two types of concentrated ultrasonic carburettor cleaner for use in any brand of ultrasonic tank (needs to be heated). "Standard" and . The standard carb cleaner has a working temperature of 50 - 80 degrees centigrade. Eco works at a lower temperature of 30 - 45 degrees centigrade, reducing the heat up time and therefore saving energy costs.

Which carb cleaner should you buy? Both work very well and give excellent results. Some customers like the energy (cost) savings with the shorter heat up time with Eco Low Energy. Others prefer working at higher temperatures for removing tough dried petrol "varnish" and so purchase the Standard fluid. Our suggestion would be that if you are working on a "barn restoration" or the engine hasn't run for a year or longer, go for the standard fluid. if you are working on an engine that is a "runner", Eco Low Energy will be perfect.

Standard cleaning fluid.

The ultrasonic carburettor cleaner has been formulated specifically for use in an ultrasonic cleaner and works very well with carburettors, valves, fuel injectors, engine parts etc. It gives amazing results with any alloys used for engine castings such as cylinder heads, crank cases, rocker covers etc. It safely and quickly removes contaminants including general ageing, dulling, oxidation, carbon, petrol residue and grease etc. It works very well on alloy castings, not only removing physical dirt, but also it visually (cosmetically) brightens dulling that occurs over time.

NOTE: Obviously it can't make a component look better than it did when it first left the manufacturer's factory way-back-when, but normally the end results are normally impressive. The cleaning process won't damage, corrode or darken metal components. The solution is safe on brass, aluminium and other sensitive metals. It's also safe with rubber O rings (provided that the "O" ring hasn't started to perish).

How long before the solution needs changing?

The cleaning fluid can be used many times until it looks dirty. There's no specific rule about when to change the fluid, but the idea of an ultrasonic cleaner is for deep and thorough cleaning. If your fluid looks like pea soup, it's time to change it.

Directions:

The ultrasonic carburettor cleaner fluid is a concentrate added to water at a ratio of 10:1 (10 parts water to 1 part fluid). HOW TO MIX IT. For heavily soiled components, this can be strengthened to 7:1. The working temperature of the ultrasonic cleaner should be set between 50 - 80 degrees centigrade. After cleaning rinse with clean water and leave to dry. Always test before use on new components.
