hello,

Been running WVO in my 99 7.3L for over 3 years now. I feel like I might have some injector issues. Does anyone have any suggestions for aftermarket/high performance injectors that work well with WVO. I don't want to go too big because I want to maintain so kind of good fuel economy. I am only getting around 15 right now. Or should I just stay stock and fix the ones that are bad?

thanks
Craig

Has your powerstroke been having any work outs, like long hard runs?

I have successfully cleaned my injectors by first removing all oils outside and inside the injector by dipping them in clean acetone twice. Then I soak them over night in a light acetic solution of vinegar or carbonated water, which is carbonic acid. Then I dry them in denatured alcohol, then scrape the remaining carbon off the injectors with razor blade, dental pick and wire brush, then soak in WD-40 until needed.

I now have three sets of used injectors that I have prepared in the above manor. I pull them from wrecks at junkyards for $88/set. I have two sets of injectors soaking in WD-40 for 2 months now.

Here is a pic of a coked injector:

IMO best inj upgrade is a Full Force stage 1..you will pick up MPG's 2-3 and HP with support mods:

TS chip with custom tunes..TW what we recomened
Tymar intake..
4" turbo back exhaust system.

We have all..PM if I can help.

Jeff do you have a PSD or are you running the older style 7.3?

Jeff's picture is a GM 6.5 injector. His process would probably destroy a HEUI injector.

as for the work out, it is my daily driver, about 25 miles per day. I tow a 25'camper in the summer time, I just put a plow on it this past winter and yes.... it got a good work out!!!! but as you all know it is a Beast!!! the rough idle problem could be many things, bad injector, bad wire harness through valve cover, the strange thing is that I am getting excessive pressure in my low pressure site fuel rail. I took out the stock check valve on the driverside for my Veg conversion. so I am guessing it is coming from one of the injectors on that side.
