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?

All our cleaning fluids including carburettor cleaner, jewellery cleaner and multi-purpose cleaner are non-toxic and can be disposed of by pouring down the drain.

We offer two types of concentrated ultrasonic carburettor cleaner fluid. Both are for use in any brand of ultrasonic cleaning tank (it needs to be heated). Read about suitable ultrasonic tanks HERE>>>>

"Standard" carb cleaner has a working temperature of 50-80 degrees centigrade.

"Eco" carb cleaner has a working temperature of 30-40 degrees centigrade, reducing heat up time, saving energy costs. Read more HERE >>>>

Which carb cleaner should you buy? Both deliver excellent results. Some customers like the energy (cost) savings and shorter heat up time of Eco Low Energy fluid. Others prefer working at higher temperatures for easier, faster removal of tough, dried petrol "varnish" and so purchase the standard fluid.

Our suggestion is the "standard" carburettor cleaner (higher working temperature) generally gives better results. This is because stubborn oil and greasy deposits breakdown quicker when heated to a higher temperature.

Standard cleaning fluid.

This 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 our cleaning fluid can't make a component look better than when it left the manufacturer's factory "way-back-when". However the end results are normally very 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 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 probably time to change it.

Directions:

The ultrasonic carburettor cleaner fluid is concentrated and added to water at a ratio of 10:1 (10 parts water to 1 part cleaning fluid).

HOW TO MIX IT. For heavily soiled components, this can be strengthened to 7:1. The working temperature of the ultrasonic tank 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.
