SUBJECT:
ON-CAR FUEL INJECTOR CLEANING
S0A has tested and approved the use of the Kent-Moore Fuel Injector Cleaner for on-car cleaning of fuel injectors. Features and benefits of this cleaning
system include:
^
effective on-car cleaning without injector removal.
^
entire cleaning operation can be completed quickly.
^
fuel injector cleaner uses readily available inexpensive fuel injector cleaning fluid.
^
low cost compared to fuel injector parts replacement costs.
^
fuel injector cleaner completely replaces vehicle's fuel supply system during cleaning operation.
The fuel injector cleaner, available through Kent-Moore Tools under P/N J35800, consists of a hand pressurized reservoir tank complete with gauge,
relief valve, and hose with needle shut-off valve. The fuel injector cleaner can be used with the following approved injector cleaner solvents.

Although designed specifically for GM port fuel injected engines, the fuel injector cleaner can be easily adapted for use on Subaru vehicles.
Figure 1 - Fuel Injector Cleaner Schematic
To adapt the fuel injector cleaner for use on Subaru vehicles, discard adapter assembly 12232A supplied with fuel injector cleaner and substitute
commonly available brass fittings as necessary to end up with a 5/16" male hose fitting end. See Figure 1 on the following page.
Since the fuel injector cleaner is replacing the fuel supply system in its entirety, the following recommendations must be adhered to when using the
Kent-Moore Fuel Injector Cleaner on Subaru vehicles.
