What You'll Learn
Archoil's AR6400-D Diesel Fuel System Cleaner
Carbon build-up in diesel turbos can significantly impair performance by restricting airflow and increasing exhaust backpressure, leading to turbo lag, reduced fuel efficiency, and potential engine failure. AR6400-D is specifically formulated to remove soot and heavy carbon deposits from the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), which, if left untreated, can result in more frequent regenerations, poor engine performance, and potential failure. DPF replacement costs typically range from $2,000 up to $10,000.
Using AR6400-D is simple: just add the cleaner to your fuel tank and drive your vehicle as normal. The cleaner will mix with the fuel and clean the injectors as it passes through them. The more you drive, the faster your fuel injectors will be cleaned.
Customers report that AR6400-D improves engine performance, with smoother operation, better throttle response, and a quieter engine sound. It also effectively cleans the DPF and injectors, with some customers reporting that it restored their vehicle's performance to "like new".

Archoil's AR6500 Diesel Treatment
The AR6500 Diesel Treatment is suitable for all diesel engines, including modern systems such as High-Pressure Common Rail. It is a simple and cost-effective way to maintain your engine's performance and fuel efficiency. By adding a small amount of the treatment to your fuel tank every time you fill up, you can prevent carbon build-up and keep your injectors, turbo, and Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) clean. This, in turn, helps to improve combustion and boost engine performance, fuel economy, and response.
Dirty injectors can cause a range of issues, including incomplete combustion, wasted fuel, rough idling, misfires, and poor fuel economy. They can also lead to more frequent regenerations and potential engine failure. By using a diesel fuel additive like the AR6500, you can prevent these issues and maintain the health of your engine.
The AR6500 Diesel Treatment is a popular choice among diesel vehicle owners, with many reporting improved engine performance, better mileage, and increased power. It is also recommended by mechanics and has been independently tested to reduce friction and wear on fuel systems, helping to prevent costly repairs.
For deeper cleaning and more rapid results, the AR6500 can be used in combination with Archoil's AR6400-D Diesel Fuel System Cleaner. This product is designed for a one-tank deep clean of your diesel engine and should be used every 5,000 miles or as needed. Together, these products provide a comprehensive solution for maintaining the performance and longevity of your diesel engine.

Archoil's AR6400-G Gasoline Fuel System Cleaner
AR6400-G uses powerful PEA detergents to quickly and safely remove gum, varnish, and carbon from the fuel system and engine. It also helps to remove deposits from turbochargers and EGR valves. By restoring the function of fuel system components, power, acceleration, and fuel economy are improved.
Carbon build-up on injectors leads to power loss, rough idling, and hard start problems. AR6400-G's detergents remove carbon build-up from injectors, improving combustion and restoring power and performance. Most auto manufacturers recommend regular use of an injector cleaner for GDI systems.
To use AR6400-G, simply add one bottle to your fuel tank and drive your vehicle as normal. One bottle treats between 12 and 25 gallons of fuel. The cleaner will mix with the fuel and clean the injectors as it passes through them.

How to clean fuel injectors without removing them
Dirty fuel injectors are a common issue, especially in older cars, and can cause serious engine issues. The good news is that you can clean them without removing them, and there are a few methods to do so.
Using a Fuel Additive
Archoil recommends using a diesel fuel additive as the simplest and most cost-effective way to clean your fuel injectors without removing them. Add the cleaner to your fuel tank and drive your vehicle as normal. The cleaner will mix with the fuel and, as it passes through the fuel injectors, will break down deposits and clean the system.
Archoil offers two products for this purpose: AR6500 Diesel Treatment, which can be used every time you fill up to help remove small deposits, and AR6400-D Diesel Fuel System Cleaner, which is used for a deeper clean every 5,000 miles or as needed.
Using a Fuel Injector Cleaning Tool
If you would prefer to use a dedicated fuel injector cleaning tool, you will first need to locate and disconnect the fuel rail(s) on the fuel injectors. Be careful not to damage the rail or leak any fuel. Once the fuel rail is disconnected, there should be an exposed hose that you can connect to the cleaning tool.
Fill the cleaning tool with your chosen cleaning solution, and place it above the engine before turning it on. If possible, hang it from your bonnet so you can easily monitor the tool and engine. Finally, connect the outlet pipe of the tool to the fuel rail.
Maintenance
To keep your fuel injectors in good working order, it is recommended to clean them every 30,000 miles or so, depending on your vehicle's condition. Regular cleaning will prevent carbon buildup and other engine issues, saving you from potential repair or replacement costs down the line.
Signs Your Fuel Injectors Need Cleaning or Replacing
- White exhaust smoke
- Rough idling
- Hard start problems
- Poor fuel economy
- Black smoke due to incomplete combustion

Carbon build-up in injectors
To prevent carbon build-up in injectors, regular maintenance is key. This includes full synthetic oil changes every 5,000 miles and spark plug replacement at factory-recommended intervals. In-tank fuel injector cleaners and extra detergents can also help maintain the correct spray pattern and break down deposits.
If carbon build-up is already present, there are mechanical and non-mechanical solutions. A deep clean of the fuel system can be performed, using specialized chemicals, wire brushes, and picks. This process may involve soaking, scrubbing, and re-soaking the valves. Alternatively, a media blaster or walnut shell blasting can be used to remove carbon deposits.
Archoil offers several products that can help with carbon build-up in injectors. The AR6400-G Gasoline Fuel System Cleaner is a powerful detergent that quickly and safely removes carbon from the fuel system and engine, including intake valves and injectors. It is designed to restore performance, fuel economy, and extend the life of the fuel system. Archoil also offers the AR6400-D Diesel Fuel System Cleaner, which is specifically formulated to remove heavy carbon deposits from diesel injectors.
By using Archoil's fuel additives, carbon deposits and soot can be prevented from building up in the first place, keeping injectors running smoothly. The AR6500 Diesel Treatment can be used every time you fill up to help remove small deposits, while the AR6400-D Diesel Fuel System Cleaner can be used every 5,000 miles or as needed for a deeper clean.
