Although the technology is relatively new to the UK marketplace, TerraClean is proving its value to private owners and fleet operators alike, who are saving money through reduced fuel costs and lowering their emissions as efficiency and performance are improved.
TerraClean is an advanced cleaning system that requires unique patented machinery and chemicals that connect to the vehicle using high quality OEM specific adaptors. The TerraClean machine takes over as the vehicles fuel tank and fuel pump which enables cleaning of internal engine components without dismantling the engine! The majority of carbon, tars and varnishes are removed from; fuel injectors, injection pumps, combustion chambers, valves, manifolds and oxygen sensors. TerraClean can also prevent EGR (Exhaust gas recirculation) and turbo vane related problems when used as a preventative measure.
The cleaning of EGR systems would historically involve removal of all relevant parts and cleaning by hand or even replacement, both are labour intensive and expensive.
