Fuel Injector Cleaner Tester CT160 Heated Injection Systems Cleaners 4-Cylinder Petrol Injection Nozzle Cleaner Tester With Atomization Observation,Injection Volume Detection,Tightness Test 110V/220V

Very happy with this unit. I am a DIY mechanic, so I don't expect this to see a TON of use, but it takes the guess work out of the 'mystery' of fuel injectors. This comes as a 4 injector system. This made the most sense to me over larger units and here's why. If you have a 4cyl engine, no problem, test all at once. If you have a 6 cyl engine, you can test 3 injectors with a plug in the 4th, which lets you test an entire bank at once. yes, you have to do the exercise twice to cover all the injectors, but thats not a huge deal. If you have an 8 cyl engine, same as the 6 except you wont need the plug to test each bank. I had a hard time determining the difference between the CT150 and the CT160 other than aesthetics. Here's what i've determined to be different:1. The vials on the CT160 are shorter. the CT150 shows 140mL vials, where the CT160 has 100mL vials. This could be an issue when testing aftermarket or performance, or E85 injectors. 100mL fills quickly, but work just fine for testing standard injectors.2. the fuel rail on the CT150 is secured using 2 threaded rods on either end, while the fuel rail on the CT160 is secured with a single rod in the center. This concerned me a bit at first, as running an odd number of injectors might cause an issue with keeping the fuel rail sealed on all injectors. I can say, 3 injectors does not cause this unit any problems. Running a single injector may ( I have not testing this yet) but this would be easily corrected, either by running a junk injector opposite the single injector being tested, or a simple spacer to keep the fuel rail level.3. It appears in photos that the CT150 comes with a lid for the ultrasonic tub. My CT160 did not have a lid included. This is problematic, so I will be fashioning a lid to keep shop junk out of the ultrasonic, and to keep the fluid from evaporating.4. The controls are a bit different, as the CT150 has buttons to control fuel pressure while the CT160 has a knob. Without physically using the CT150, id say the knob feels better and I would call it an upgrade. In addition, control layout is slightly different.5. I am not sure how the CT150 controls the ultrasonic bath. But I can speak for the CT160. The controls for the CT160 are the two red switches on the front right of the unit. One for ultrasonic, and one for heat. The injector pulsing is controlled independently using the control panel and one of the selections on the menu. This is ideal, as it allows independent use of the ultrasonic cleaner if needed.6. the CT160 appears to be a much more compact system. As a DIYer, this was preferred, as shop space is valuable, and this will not be a workhorse piece of equipment. That said, I cannot imagine how a larger unit would be any better, except when it comes to the larger vials of the CT150.The instructions on this have much to be desired. I have seen repeatedly in the listing and instructions where it mentions "special fluid" for cleaning injectors. Still haven't the foggiest what this 'special fluid' is. Given the atomization of the liquid, and the heating and open tub of the ultrasonic, i did not want to use a highly volatile cleaner like gasoline or most of the gasoline injector additives. I've seen some use mineral spirits, but I chose to go with Kerosene because that's what I had on hand, and it is slightly less volatile than mineral spirits. I might take a look at Lucas injector cleaner as it is offered in a gallon size, but honestly, it seems like the Kerosene worked perfectly.I do have concerns with all of these units, and the method fuel is introduced to the rail. on both the CT150 and CT160, there is a single input into the fuel rail, and the pressure pulses significantly on high flow tests as the injectors pulse. This means that injectors further away from the input will see dips in pressure that could give a false reading. The CT150, given its two rod design, means the input is centered in the fuel rail and would suffer less from this issue. However, the CT160, since it has a single rod in the middle, means the input has to be offset, and is placed between the 3rd and 4th injector position. While I have not verified this yet, I would expect to see position 1 suffer in the manor when running high flow tests. Long term, I will most likely add a T fitting to the input hose and create a second input in the fuel rail between positions 1 and 2 to balance the fuel pressure. This may be a non-issue for most, but if you are trying to match injectors for a performance build, this should be considered.Finally, some have complained about how messy the unit is when taking out the injectors. If you fashion a method of introducing air into the fuel rail and then running the ultrasonic selection on the menu, the system will pulse the injectors without activating the pump. You will need to introduce air above the injectors however, otherwise the vacuum will keep the fluid from flowing through the injectors.

Work great

Works great. 280k mile tacoma and had few leaky injectors and few that wouldn atomize fuel.Cleaned them and tested again. Made a huge diffrence in the truck again.Better gas mileage and more power. (100hp, +5 is noticable.)Saved me $400 to purchase new injectors. 250 for this is worth it.Use Isopropyl for testing and injector cleaner in sonix bath. Acetone will corrode machine internals.

This unit looks great pump doesn't work. The instructions are Bleak at best. No setup information. Unfortunately, it does not tell you you must remove the plastic cap fittings on your fuel injectors in order for them to fit on the metal plate at the bottom. The plate has initially drilled holes for screws that are not included. As well as matching the correct fluid for the unit. As none is recommended but States at the bottom use only recommended fluid when testing. Mineral oil is suggested may not be suitable

Works great

Buen producto esencial para la limpieza de inyectores

We ordered one of these units to clean injectors for our shop. Out of the box the cleaning function would shut the machine off if more than one injector was connected. We then returned the unit thinking it was just a defect. It happens. We requested another unit. It arrived and just to be safe, we read all the instructions again to make sure we were not doing anything wrong. (We did this with the first machine too) It was the same problem but worse. Now, not only will it shut off the machine when trying to clean more than one injector. It will also shut off in the middle of testing the injectors no matter how many you have connected. One machine I can forgive, as sometimes you get a bad luck of the draw, but two? I won't be buying anything autool again. Poor quality straight from china.

Leaked cleaner while running. Had to return
