CarbonOff at Freelander 1.8

Apirathos · Jan 10, 2021

Hi and happy new year to everyone!
Last months, i read about a new method to clean up the interior of the engine (air intake, valves, λ sensor and exhaust). The "carbonOff" method, uses HHO to the air intake, for 40-45 mins.
They say that, the engine will works better, fuel efficiency and lower temp.
Is that cleaning method, secure for my Landy? Should i change the fuel filter, before do anything like this?

Thank you and (4 one more time) sorry for bad my english!

Better to use a direct-to-air imtake (no fuel add fluid), catalytic system cleaner (liqui moly etc)?

Generally all of these engine cleaning miracle products such as carbon off / seafoam / terraclean / etcetera that offer to "decoke" your engine without you even opening your toolbox are viewed as placeboes. There are however exceptions, those being engineflush / radflush / injector cleaners, all of which are are fluid additives that clean out one specific system. In the case of engine flush, which is added just before an upcoming oil change, it's a very light oil + detergents that aims to dissolved some fo the sludge in the oil system and keep it suspended in the oil you'll be changing out. FYI Some people claim to have had similar results by throwing half a litre of kerosene in the engine oil ~50miles before oil changes. Radflush is basically a detergent & descaler additive for coolant, aims to breakdown the limescale / rust / oil in the coolant system and suspend it in the coolant just before it is changed leaving behind a clean system. Injector cleaners like redex do something similar, cleaning out the fuel lines & injector nozzles by dissolving the sludge / "varnish" and washing the contaminants into the combustion chamber where they get burnt off and vented out the exhaust.

Thank you for your response!
Sometimes, i use acetone (not that for the ladies but, clear acetone) 3ml at 1lt of gas. The results was impressive: Easy cold start, less noise, no carbon and fuel efficiency! I was bored to do this because, each time, i must prepare a little bottle of glass with acetione and the gas stastion man, watch me like he see an UFO !

Thank you anyway, for your information!
