FAQ

Every car starts getting carbon deposits in engine cylinders during their use. As carbon deposits increases car owners face mileage problems and performance problems. Engine decarbonisation / engine carbon cleaning is the process of removing the carbon build up in the engine and thereby restoring the mileage and performance of the car.

Stage 1 cleaning | Stage 2 cleaning

Hydrogen and oxygen is pumped into the engine cylinder through the air inlet pipe behind the air filter box. Hydrogen helps in the efficient combustion of fuel (Petrol / Diesel). This results in the burning of carbon deposits on the cylinder head and pistons. Carbon gets converted to soot, smoke, hydrocarbons & carbon dioxide, which goes out of the exhaust during driving.

Stage 2 cleaning is an indepth cleaning process in which combustion chamber is cleaned using hydrogen and oxygen. Also components like EGR valve, intake manifold and intercooler and removed, cleaned manually and reassembled.

Yes, It is perfectly safe. Since hydrogen is a natural and easy combustible fuel, it helps in the efficient combustion of fuel and thereby burning off the excess carbon in the cylinder. Excess carbon is removed as soot, smoke, hydrocarbons & carbon dioxide through exhaust.

Engine is like a home fireplace. When wood or fuel is burned in a fireplace waste fumes is produced which causes carbon buildup on the fireplace walls. Similarly when fuel is burned in engine cylinder waste fumes and carbon deposit stick to parts like cylinder walls, piston head, intake manifold, EGR valve etc. Today's direct fuel injection systems makes the problem more worse. Earlier fuel was sprayed in the intake manifold cleaning the intake manifold, valves and the valve seat. But modern day fuel injection systems spray fuel directly into the engine cylinder. This prevents the automatic cleaning of valves. Cars running at highway speeds regularly help to blow out some of the carbon, but it does not remove all the carbon. But in Indian road conditions, especially in slow moving traffic this is not possible. This creates carbon build up in parts like intake valves, exhaust valves, spark plugs, fuel injectors, engine cylinder walls, pistons, EGR valve, intake manifold etc.

We recommend that vehicle owners do stage 1 cleaning (Hydrogen decarbonization of engine cylinders) every 20,000 km. Stage 2 cleaning (Hydrogen decarbonization of engine cylinders + manual EGR cleaning) is recommended when the egr gets too much carbon build up. It is recommended by the Torque Motors staff based on the engine condition.
