Sometime last year I noticed a sudden increase in fuel usage on my ride, discussed with someone and he said it might be due to lack of indomie but I've been using this car without indomie for a long time so why the sudden change? This worried me but there was nothing I could do.

Recently, I noticed poor acceleration maybe I needed to clean up something so I headed to my mechanic's workshop on Wednesday and told him to loose the nuzzles and wash it thoroughly. He decided to also loose the injector and get it cleaned.

Asked me to give his boy N200 to buy tina and the work kicked off.

Soaked the nuzzles for about 30 minutes inside the tina and also used the tina to wash the injector as well and some ugly looking black dirt were discovered to my greatest suprise then fixed back. gave him N1k for the job.

I decided to go for a test, bought fuel of 3k/18 litters and drove a 63km to and fro =126km (with three passengers on my way back and still have enough fuel left and cruising around town.

Like I'm happy I did this because I'd have spent 5-6k on that distance but now I've it fixed, for a moment I was thinking my fuel gage was even faulty and was scared i don't run out of fuel on the high way lol.


I hope I passed a message across though! This would save someone as well.

I don't think it has any side effect, just a normal cleaning but done in a wise and thorough manner.

ok boss

Good morning, pls is it wise to use injector cleaner when buying fuel? The one they sell at the filling station, I have never used it before but was told by a friend to use it from time to time. Car is a Toyota Corolla 2004.

Had similar issue, but I did not remove my Injector to clean, I just bought fuel injector cleaner and pour inside, car fuel economy and acceleration improved the next day.
