Guest guest Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Hello Rose, Unfortunately, a vehicle will not run on activated sodium chlorite, so you would have to remove the injectors to clean them. If you go through the effort to remove them, there are excellent solvents that remove the build up so there is no need to use a chlorine dioxide solution on them. I don't know if it would work because I have never tried it, but I don't think it would be as effective as a solvent designed to clean injectors. With that said, and if the vehicle still runs, there is something that you can try, if you are up to it... A few years ago 2 stroke oil was reformulated to a TC-W3 specification. The idea was to improve performance, keep the engine clean, burn ash less, and minimize the smoke associated with 2 stroke engines. A group of people got together and decided to try this out. They have logged over a million miles without problems, and claim excellent results. The results that have been observed are quieter running fuel pumps if the fuel pump is located in the fuel tank, no corrosion in the fuel rail, clean injectors, clean spark plugs, less oil consumption, improved performance, and a slight increase in fuel economy. We have looked at the inside of cylinders using a borescope, before and after using this oil additive. We have looked at spark plugs, and carefully measured fuel economy. I have experience with using it in 5 vehicles and have logged over 30000 miles using it. I have seen cleaner spark plugs, a cleaner engine top end, and a slight improvement in fuel economy. I don't want to say that your fuel economy will increase, but it is more like it will get back to what it was when the engine was new. Wal-Mart sells their brand for around $10 a gallon. You don't need to go with any particular brand, and in this case it is best to shop on price. You are looking for 2 stroke oil that has the TC-W3 label on it. This is added to your gas in the ratio of 1 ounce of oil per 5 gallons of fuel. When you fill up, keep track of the amount of gallons you put in. When you get home, add the oil for the amount of fuel you just filled up with. You should experience an improvement after the second full tank. It is a gradual process that takes some to complete, and if there is actual damage to the engine, it is not a miracle worker. Informal dyno testing after 10 tanks of fuel showed a very slight increase in horsepower and torque, but no one felt that this was significant. On line diagnostic testing while driving showed an increase in timing advance after the " gunk " had been cleaned out. I believe this is why there is a fuel economy improvement. After the " gunk " is cleaned out, the engine can run at the levels the computer sets and does not have to retard the timing due to knocking. I figure the increase in fuel economy offsets the cost of the 2 stroke oil. I went from 25 - 26 mpg to 27 - 28 mpg. Oil analysis after extended oil change interval (about 14000 miles between changes) indicated a slight increase in potassium and sodium. It is believed this increase was caused by the addition of the 2 stroke oil. I will be trending this data to see what happens. While I don't have evidence that this stuff works, the anecdotal results are promising enough to suggest trying it. One other thing. In gasoline engines the results are not as great with those who regularly use top tier gasoline. However, if you use the cheapest gasoline you can find, the results are better. If your gasoline has ethanol blended with it the results are better than if you have access to non blended gasoline. To bring this back on topic... Cleaning the build up off of faucet screens is a great application of acidified sodium chlorite.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Hello Don, Either way works. I use it with every fill up because all the gasoline in my area is blended.
