Our Petrol Really Has Serious Impurities by Piyke: 12:30pm On Mar 23, 2022 |
I'm in the midst of reviewing the effect of a fuel system cleaning product, however, what I saw in the before state of the combustion chamber (2017 Accord) is the reason for this post. I think we really had impurities way before the recent alarm... I'll post pictures. I used a borescope camera for cylinder inspection. |

This is the top of one of the pistons. All piston tops look like this. Car has 74k original miles. Arrived Naija last year.

Piyke: The black stuff in the center is the carbon we all know. Carbon is black in colour. Just Google "carbon build up on pistons" and see that the images from abroad are black buildup on the pistons. I don't know what to call this whitish grey brown stuff. Me thinks they are impurities in our fuel. Any ideas? |

I also recall seeing this same whitish stuff when I inspected the cylinder of my power generator. Will post pics from that once I find them. |

Piyke: This is the top of the piston on a Thermocool petrol generator. Same non-carbon deposits

Following. Piyke, how are these deposits cleaned? |

Piyke: Maybe it's those high ethanol fuel they are selling like that to unsuspecting buyers |

boldx: I have already started the process. The first image is the "before". I have added gumout all in one fuel system cleaner to the tank. Will take the "after" and compare. It will all come in a video on YouTube. Pic of the gumout product below. Will see if it does anything 1 Like

Piyke:Why would GDI engines be the worst hit sir. Could you ever so kindly elaborate? |
Re: Our Petrol Really Has Serious Impurities by aieromon(m): 9:28pm On Mar 24, 2022 |
Kirkman: GDI engines experience carbon buildup which cause rough idle and poor fuel economy. GDI engine + bad fuel will speed up carbon deposit on the intake valves which can cause engine damage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rkZ_4spT14 1 Like |

Re: Our Petrol Really Has Serious Impurities by Piyke: 7:38am On Mar 25, 2022 |
aAK1: That's the reason why I'm doing the test. Will use different brands of additive if the gumout doesn't work. I should say idling is feeling smoother. I'm nearing 3/4 tank, but the second inspection will tell the real story. 1 Like |

Kirkman: This group is the scapegoat probably because they were sold brand new incountry and were not serviced according to factory recommendations. GDI engines are available from virtually all car manufacturers. 2 Likes

There should be an elimination process to include checking a foreign used vehicle with the same borescope. Our fuel is most terrible no doubt, but all organic compounds( including ethanol) reduce to carbon upon full combustion. 1 Like |
